Just cause? Right- a just cause to save $12 million. If he was winning, everything disappears.

They are going to higher Hugh Freeze. Who better to help an institution recover from a cheating scandal than a coach who was run out of the SEC for a cheating scandal?

Testifying
Remember, TN a few years ago canned Surly's old AD after he tried to hire Schiano. LOL.

What a mess.

The Athletic has a couple good stories on the job and the firing today. Basically Peyton is coming in on the search committee, and the plan is to have the intern guy run the program until the new AD is hired.
From there they mentioned Freeze, but they would have to get an OK from the SEC to hire him, the guy at Coastal, the coach at Cincinnati and a few others.

They also pointed out that this is a difficult time of the year to be hiring a new coach, and that no one is going to take the job without the AD being hired first. So it may be a while before they hire anyone.

Are you clowning Freeze or is this legit? Because nothing would surprise me at U Tenn. Who would even raise an eyebrow when they hire Art Briles...?

I see they're floating Bill O'Brien. I thought he was going to be Saban's OC after Seven Win Sark went to UT. If you're O'Brien, what do you do if Tennessee wants you?

Not exactly sure.
To heck with it, I will take it on. Even give them a deal. 7 years for $14MM guaranteed. I just feel bad for them.

Alabama OC has been turned into pretty high level HC jobs the past few years. You're going to be way behind the 8 ball at UT
