Tennessee has scheduled a Monday afternoon news conference to “address leadership changes related to its football program” amid reports football coach Jeremy Pruitt has been fired after three seasons.
The university has been conducting an internal investigation since at least the middle of November into allegations of recruiting violations.
Several news outlets have reported that Pruitt has been fired for cause after going 16-19 in three seasons.
Firing Pruitt means Tennessee will be looking for its fourth coach since the Vols last won the Southeastern Conference’s East Division title in 2007.
Pruitt went 3-7 in an SEC-only season with each loss by double digits.
