The University of Tennessee has parted ways with third-year head coach Jeremy Pruitt.
Pruitt was 16-19 (10-16 SEC) in three seasons at Tennessee. UT announced Pruitt’s firing with cause Monday.
Following the announcement of Pruitt’s departure, Tennessee suffered a decommitment from its 2021 recruiting class.
