Tennessee is on track to have one of the worst seasons in its football history. Losing more than eight games in a season has rarely happened at UT. LSU and Vanderbilt both have a good chance of giving UT only a four win season.

I thought they would wait until the end of the season.
I wonder if they worked out a deal on his large buyout.

I think the suits are trying to save face and avoid the embarrassment of an empty Vols stadium.

I wouldn't be surprised if he had to move and get some protection.
My godfather was the Director of Bands at the University of Georgia for many years. When he decided the band wouldn't play 'Dixie' after every touchdown, and changed the name from the Dixie Redcoat Band to just the Redcoat Band, he had to have a couple of State Troopers accompany him ''Tween the Hedges'.

I didn’t think Orgeron would survive this season but now it looks like he will get another year.

The Gators are right there with Tennessee. I thoroughly expect us to lose to UAB this week.

Arkansas almost suffered the most embarrassing loss in NCAA history against Coastal Carolina.

Arkansas almost suffered the most embarrassing loss in NCAA history against Coastal Carolina.Haha! I know. I remember telling the wife: "You're not gonna believe who Arkansas almost lost to this time. Coastal Carolina.
She looked at me quizzically and asked "Who?"
"Exactly," I said.

this is the result when ghetto rats are brought in to play.
physical ability yes, but brains? No.
Personally, the NFL damaged all of football and these players will soon be playing in the NFL.
The Coach happened to be in a profession that has cut its' own throat. He's collateral damage. Sucks for him.

$8 million buyout, he won’t be hurting for money.

Long overdue. Today is the first time I’ve been excited about Tennessee football in a long time.

I am not sure why but for at least a month or more, the Vol fans seem to be obsessed with Jay Gruden as their new coach.
