UT alum Albert Haynesworth calls Tennessee football out for 'systematic racism'

Tennessee football is in the middle of a mess.

With NCAA sanctions looming, Tennessee fired head coach Jeremy Pruitt, along with nine other staff he hired, while athletic director Phillip Fulmer, the man who brought in Pruitt, retired.

The Volunteers answered by hiring UCF athletic director Danny White and UCF head coach Josh Heupel to the same roles in Knoxville. The two spent the last three years together before making the move.

Tennessee alum Albert Haynesworth, a 2002 first-round pick who spent nine seasons in the NFL, wrote a very critical rundown of his thoughts on Tennessee’s hire in a post on Facebook.
