Tennessee (2-6, 2-6 SEC) plays at Vanderbilt (0-8, 0-8 SEC) Saturday (4 p.m. EST, SEC Network).
The Vols have two regular season games remaining.
With the regular season coming to a close, the process in which programs begin to evaluate their coaching staff in preparation to make any changes takes place.
South Carolina concluded its regular season Saturday and hired Shane Beamer as its head coach.
Mike Bobo served as interim head coach, as well as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the Gamecocks in 2020.
Bobo has a history with third-year Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt. He coached alongside Pruitt at Georgia.
Valdosta head coach Rush Propst, Pruitt’s former boss at Hoover High School, discussed Tennessee’s coaching staff and the possibility that there will be changes following the 2020 season.
“I just think that he needs to make some adjustments to his staff,” Propst said of Pruitt and UT on the show “Tennessee Two-A-Days.” “I think he will. I think he will look at it and make some decisions. He’s got to decide what he wants to do, what philosophy, what kind of offense do I want be, he knows what he wants to do defensively, that’s not going to change.”
Propst discussed Bobo and how he relates to Pruitt’s thought process of what he wants to do offensively.
“I really deep down think that is what Jeremy wants to do, really right now,” Propst said. “Jeremy is big about wanting to protect his defense, not letting them play a bunch of snaps, sometimes a tempo offense can score real quick or three and out, your defense has to play to that.
“Now, with that being said, Mike is smart, a run-combo guy, where he will call two runs and check at the line. He is a very good play caller.”
