My severely uneducated guess is nothing will happen until February. National signing day is Feb 3. Pruitt is due a $200,000 retention bonus on Feb 21. That gives current staff the ability to lock in what is left of this recruiting class and give the new coach time to get his behind-the-scenes staff interviews in order. If executed properly, the new staff could already be assembled in plenty of time for the actual announcement. Expect something to happen between those two dates if UTK admins are ready to pull the trigger on this regime.

When has a coach ever been fired in February? Hell, Kiffin leaving in January was DEFCON 3.

I'm not worried about him leaving from a production stand point. He made a lot of bone headed penalties in games that keep the defense on the field. If him leaving is because the players are quitting on Pruitt then I'm concerned and we need to get a new coach in here asap and stop the bleeding

Once again, I guess you just couldn't keep up. Calling our QB situation and how it would work out was not very hard to predict, you completely reading that call the wrong way isn't very hard to understand either.

I honestly cannot think of someone with worse football takes than you, including my 13 year old daughter who has never watched a football game in her life

Scholarships are renewed on an annual basis. Most likely he has been told his scholarship wasn’t going to be renewed. That is going to happen to many seniors this year.

Sure it is, it cannot have anything to do with this staff. You and Pulaski are quite the prognosticators

Sure hope so........I'm hoping that Fulmer gave Freeze the courtesy of waiting till after their bowl game on Saturday and allowing him a day (Sunday) to talk and get with his family.........now its finish up the fine print and make moves day. I still say the silence is deafening.

Freeze just signed an extension through 2026. I don’t believe and hope we are not interested in him as our coach.

I think Crouch will be moved to OLB. Also there’s Baron, Banks, and we have a couple really good edge rushers in the incoming class.

We had several great olineman coming in the last few classes as well. They have really excelled in this system. Banks is lost in pass coverage and Crouch has played very little meaningful time at lb to determine anything other than possible potential. Counting on freshman to fill key positions under Pruitt is like trying to catch a unicorn. I honestly don’t know what team you have been watching the last three seasons

The link is dead and I see nothing from any reputable sources.

Not saying it's not happening; just feels like a rumor that may or may not be true.

You can relax on this one. He’s got potential and I wish him luck, but 28 tackles and 4.5 sacks shouldn’t be hard to find in a Jack LB. these transfers are going to happen.

He is a liability in high pressure situations. I can think of multiple penalties attributed to him that were game changers. Miami would be a good spot for him.

Penciling in a Juco as a Day 1 starter is dicey. Yeah we also have Harrison and Joseph, who have yet to break through. Baron, Harrison and Joseph combined for 3 1/2 sacks. Bottom line is our pass rush just lost our 2 most productive guys, Combining for 9 of our 20 sacks. Hard for me to say they had no role next year.

Barron and Joseph were true freshman with limited snaps. Harrison on the other hand isn't recording a lot, but he is showing up in the run game clogging lanes...however you'd expect a 235 lbs guy that runs 4.6 and benches 500 lbs to have more stats...2 sacks all year..he needs better coaching. All of them do.

I just answered your question in generic terms like you asked it.

Now to be specific. A senior can return, but if the coaches don’t want him to then he can hold a clipboard at home games and sit in the dorm on away games.

Doesn’t make sense we would do that if he is a productive starter.
