It’s been a very dark day for Tennessee football. The Volunteers moved on from Jeremy Pruitt, firing him and multiple members of his staff for cause. Tennessee made things official this afternoon as Chancellor Donde Plowman made the announcement.
While there may be optimism for a new direction in Knoxville, that was met with the fact that Tennessee is now dealing with some major NCAA violations. Chancellor Plowman revealed that their internal investigation showed multiple level I and II recruiting violations — something that could greatly affect Tennessee’s ability to find a top level head coach to turn this all around.
