Remember that time Brady Hoke kicked Jauan Jennings out of the Tennessee football program? That seems like a decade ago at this point.
Jennings was dealing with an injury throughout the 2017 season. Apparently Jennings was nearing a return for the final game of the season against Vanderbilt, but wasn’t allowed to play. An Instagram live video featured Jennings calling out the staff for lying, among other things.
Hoke, the interim coach after Butch Jones was fired, went on 104.5 The Zone in Nashville, announcing that he had kicked Jennings off of the team.
After the coaching search, Jeremy Pruitt and new athletic director Phillip Fulmer left the door open for a return.
