Will enforce the $50,000 buyout in Will Friend’s contract after he left his post as the Vols’ offensive line coach about a month before the contract was set to expire, an athletic department spokesman confirmed to Knox News.
Tennessee to collect buyout after Will Friend's departure to South Carolina | News Break

Must’ve wanted out bad.

 

[HuntlandVolinColo]

Well this pretty much confirms that CWF was told to start lookin!

 

[PEPPERJAX]

South Carolina must be yearning for a sh1tty OL.

 

[BigOrangeMojo]

What message, Don't even think about leaving before your contract is up?

"Don't put it past us to be petty and to have strict interpretations of the contract language"

Going to Sakerlina.

Earning?
He was receiving.
SC did us a huge favor here.

This is on Pruitt who hired Friend. Fulmer was trying to support his head coach to hire the best o-line coach possible with that money. Pruitt just missed on the hire.

He seems to miss often on lots of targets

 

[Vol524]

He was about to be fired so I am not sure it was a pay cut.

 

[rocytop2624]

he's an easy one to blame... but we can't forget when he hired Pruitt, all hell had broke lose and we were way down on our list of potential coaches already. it was a shot in the dark really... stole a guy from bama... just didn't work out

We could have hired Kiffin so they can keep there excuses.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

Throw 800k at either Kyle Flood or Robbie Caldwell

 

[JBVolunteer]

He knew his days were numbered in Knoxville. Think he’ll be able to survive that paycut...

 

[DULL_BOY]

Pruitt’s main man. Said he couldn’t do this without him. Didn’t know you needed someone else to assist you to come up with a strategy to absolutely run a program into the ground at the level they have done in 3 years....and for $800,000 a year at that. That’s a special kind of sucking right there.

OR, he knew sh!t fixing to hit the fan big time at UT.

 

[FiremedicVOL127]

But he wouldn't take a pay cut here to help balance the books in the middle of a unprecedented season where revenue from a normal season took a major hit....... Aidios amigos.....

I like your theory better!

Will Friend got paid what the market thinks he is worth, not what his college roommate and best friend wanted to give him.

TN is playing hardball now. about time

All talk no action.

That's a friend for you!

Coulda hired a Hugh School Coach until the right guy was available-----------------------

I wouldn't waste my breath man. Plenty here who have no clue what Fulmer inherited. That post-crisis hire is a mulligan. Now that extension during the season. That's another story.

Will take more than that to get either, and Flood might be Sarkisian's choice for OC.

What is Fulmer doing to fix the same mess 3 years later? Nothing. If he can’t fix it then he needs to get out so we can hire someone who can.

He was going to get fired

 

[FLVOL_79]

$800,000 to be terrible at his job. Dang, I should get into coaching football.
