Jeremy Pruitt out at Tennessee/Recruiting Violation investigation

[HuskerNash]

Undoubtedly true, but does it warrant excessive mockery and dripping disdain from a national publication?

It’s somewhat deserved in this case but I see your point.

UT's not necessarily considering Freeze. ESPN just listed a bunch of coaches who they thought might be interested in the job. Freeze actually got a new deal from Liberty that runs through the 2026 season that reportedly pays him $2 million a year. IMO Freeze is absolutely nuts if he leaves for a school like Tennessee where he doesn't have previous ties. He's pretty much a god in Lynchburg, and Liberty's got more money to put into their football program than any G5 school in the country. There's no way they're ever going to be admitted into the SEC or ACC, but they do have the financial resources to compete with those schools.

Sorta like TCU and SMU combined

Yeah, but can they compete with this?

He’d leave in a second if Tennessee came calling! 4+m per? Yeah, done. Lol

I think they will get bitch slapped pretty hard. The NCAA likes to use struggling programs as their whipping boys.

You could be right. I’m not even sure what the violations even are.

How come Nebraska can't find a coach that commits violations? We have always had to pay our guys to leave, that just doesn't seem fair.

What about the rest of the staff, the assistants? Are some of them in trouble as well?

some were canned with Pruitt..

The problem with Malzahn is they just hired Kevin Steele at $800k a year, and he and Malzahn do not particularly care for each other. To get rid of Steele, Tennessee would have to eat the full $800k from what I heard today. I have to think they hired Steele with the idea that he will become the HC.

What about P.J.?
The other problem with Malzahn is he is a "retread"? Not sure if that looks flashy-although Kevin Steele doesn't ring anyones bell as a flash hire either.
