Jeremy Pruitt fired former UK coach Jimmy Brumbaugh during Cats’ win vs. Vols

After Kentucky demolished Tennessee 34-7 in Knoxville last Saturday (it really never gets old saying that), defensive line coach and co-defensive coordinator Jimmy Brumbaugh was fired.

Brumbaugh, as you may know, if a former Kentucky assistant who was the school’s defense line coach from 2013-16. He was in his first season with the Vols, but head coach Jeremy Pruitt apparently thought Brumbaugh wasn’t cutting it after just four games.

Apparently, Pruitt didn’t even wait until the fourth game was over to fire the former Kentucky coach.

According to KSR, Pruitt fired Brumbaugh during the game.
