The rumors and rumblings of Tennessee’s search to fill a vacancy on its coaching staff have roped members of Oklahoma State’s staff in for a second consecutive season.
Last year it was Mike Gundy, who may (or may not have) been a candidate to be the Vols’ next head coach. Now, it’s Mike Yurcich, OSU’s offensive coordinator, who appears to be a legitimate candidate to fill the same spot in Knoxville.
There’s a lot of unsubstantiated buzz about the search, but there’s really no refuting that Yurcich interviewed for the gig. Multiple media outlets have reported he interviewed with UT coach Jeremy Pruitt.
