Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt fired

Posted on January 18, 2021January 18, 2021 by Santiago Leon

Jeremy Pruitt is out in Tennessee. The university fired the third-year coach on Monday amidst an ongoing NCAA investigation, according to The Tennessean and Yahoo Sports. Plus, athletic director Phillip Fulmer is expected to step down as athletic director and retire once his replacement is found, according to multiple reports.

The university and NCAA are investigating alleged recruiting violations within the program. Tennessee has also retained a pair of lawyers to aide in the investigation. Because he is being fired for cause, Tennessee will not pay his buyout clause, which was set for $12,880,000, according to the USA Today coaching salary database.
