Should the Tennessee football Volunteers move on from their head coach immediately?

Let’s be honest. This isn’t going to happen. Phillip Fulmer’s legacy as UT athletic director is tied to his decision to hire Jeremy Pruitt as Tennessee football head coach. As long as he’s in charge, it will take overwhelming evidence to fire Pruitt.

A bad third season that had so many adjustments due to the pandemic would not qualify for overwhelming evidence.
