    I am told that Mississippi State defensive coordinator, Zach Arnett is set to interview with coach Sark today.

    Could not confirm if the interview will be held on Zoom or in person but was able to confirm that they are set to speak today.

    As I mentioned earlier this week, still believe Golding and Pruitt are in the mix, as well.

    It does appear that Sark is making this a legitimate search instead of the “business as usual” and “hire who you know” type deal.

    Don't see any recent flights out of Starkville so it must be zoom. Did see a flight from Birmingham and Baton Rouge though.

    Yeah, it’s pretty clear Tennessee just wants save that money. Hopefully that means an offer from us leads to Pruitt being off the hook since it would offset his buyout.

    Actually just read there is no offset clause so Tennessee will fight until the end to not pay any more than necessary

    Insight on Jeremy Pruitt’s situation at Tennessee from a somewhat reputable “insider” on their 247 page:

    I believe Pruitt will be presented with all the findings of the investigation tomorrow. I believe he will be asked some tough questions. I believe if he lies or tries to cover anything up he will be fired with cause. If he tells the truth I believe he could still be fired or have a small chance of coming back depending on how severe those violations are. Based on things that I’ve heard, I do not believe he will survive this. I do not expect him to be fired right away unless he is ready to negotiate a buyout after the interview. There’s a lot of unknowns on how this meeting will go. What exactly do they present to him? How severe are the violations? How does he react? Does he lie? Etc.

    I know I have been wrong on the timeline several times. That is because every time they get close to being done with this thing something new pops up and they have to follow up and look into it. There’s a reason they are interviewing Pruitt last. I do believe this is going to be wrapped up after tomorrow and a decision will be made no later than Sunday. Team meeting is Monday which is on par for starting the semester. I can’t imagine they let Pruitt do that meeting and fire him afterwards.

    In the event he is fired, I believe Steele will be the interim coach. Yes Pruitt wanted him here and yes Pruitt hired him. Steele also understands the situation and what he was coming into as Chris Lowe explained today on the radio. Fulmer has done a phenomenal job holding this together with current players. Once this is all over I may go into more detail on some things. As of today based on what I think I know and have been told, I believe Pruitt has a 10% chance of surviving this. Nothing would shock me because it’s Tennessee. I think at this point with how badly Pruitt has been knee capped this offseason and how badly relationships have been damaged, it is best for Pruitt and the University to part ways. That’s JMO. Take it for what it’s worth. I can only tell you my opinion based off what I know. I’m ready for this to be over as I’m sure everyone is. Go Vols!

    I think that the investigation is an internal one just so they can find enough to fire him without paying the buyout. Since he is only making 3.8/year would an offer from Texas in the 2.5 range be enough for Tennessee to pay the remainder and not report any findings to the NCAA?

    I am told that Alabama tight end coach Jeff Banks remains an option for a similar role at Texas.

    Banks is considered one of the Tide’s best recruiters, and has also spent time at Texas A&M.

     

    This and the fact that his girl made drastic changes to her social media including following Sark.. Also we have heard no other names for TE since the start

     would think we would know by now if Ash has been let go? 

    They are keeping Ash on until they have a DC lined up. No reason to fire him and pay his buyout until you have too and hope he gets tired of waiting and accepts another job.
