From Feldman:
“One thing to keep in mind with Freeze and perhaps a few of the others mentioned above is the impact the Auburn opening could have on Tennessee. Word is the Vols would prefer not to pull the plug on Jeremy Pruitt after just three seasons. He was Phil Fulmer’s hand-picked choice, but the Vols are really, really struggling. Pressure is mounting. It’s no secret Freeze has been enamored with Tennessee football from long before he was ever a college coach, and he would be seen as a splashy hire. Does Tennessee now pivot to try and make sure Auburn doesn’t snatch away someone they really want?”
