Tennessee has fired head coach Jeremy Pruitt for alleged NCAA violations during his tenure.

The news was first reported by Yahoo Sports’ Pete Thamel who also said AD Phillip Fulmer’s future will also be addressed.

Pruitt was 16-19 in three seasons with the Volunteers. He received a contract extension less than four months ago with his deal originally supposed to run through 2026.
