One thing that rally concerns me is ...since UT is firing Pruitt for cause they will refer the violations to the NCAA. This will make it almost impossible to hire a name coach while under a NCAA cloud. And the NCAA has a habit of stringing NCAA investigations out for months and sometimes years.

Tennessee also fired assistant coaches Brian Niedermeyer and Shelton Felton for cause on Monday, along with seven members of the football program’s recruiting and support staff.

.....................

Plowman said Fulmer is stepping down because he wanted the next athletics director to have the opportunity to hire the football coach. Fulmer is under contact through 2023 after receiving a two-year contract extension in May.
Phillip, again, I think he’s demonstrating why he’s a legend at UT,” Plowman said. “He loves this university, and he will serve this university in whatever way we ask him to. I’m grateful to him and his family — just the way they’ve embraced UT forever.

“I really, really, really want to underscore that there’s nothing about this that indicated Phillip knew about anything. None of this had anything to do with him.”

Wake me up if there’s ever any good news associated with this dismal football program again.

Meanwhile — thank God for hoops.  Wrote this on another site:

“I love how this team beats the crap out of you, without looking really spectacular.  No flash.  Defense.  Sharing the ball.  Relentless.  Easily 8, 9 guys — maybe more — who can hurt you in a variety of ways.

They’re like a cobra.  They just slowly squeeze the life out of you.

If you want to beat this team, you’d better shoot freakishly good from three.  And hope we can’t hit anything.

And this group has only played together 11 times.  If they can stay healthy, and keep their heads on straight, by the end of the season…”

Lets see if UT is smart enough to offer the AD job to David Blackburn this time who they should have hired instead of Fulmer.  The bigger question, would he take it if offered after they way he was shunned and shown no respect by Tennessee by hiring Fulmer who had zero experience as an AD while Blackburn was an experienced AD.

I heard Chris Low on Finebaum mention some dick weed for AD that had ties to Alabama.   :sign0065:

I heard an interesting name come up this afternoon for AD...Charles Davis. Don't know if he would be interested or not but he would certainly check all of the requirements,

I suspect the search has gone on for a few days and they have someone in mind.

I've heard his name mentioned before probably be another good choice.  Certainly a Tennessee man and bleeds orange.

I keep hearing Hugh Freeze for HC he may be a great coach but we don't need someone who has already been in trouble with the NCAA when were looking at violations now.

Based on how the press conference today, I doubt the administration would allow Freeze to be hired
