Tennessee fires former UK assistant after losing to UK

After a promising 2-0 start, the Tennessee Volunteers are reeling a bit.

Saturday was a demolition by the Kentucky Wildcats, who scored their biggest margin of victory in a road win over a ranked team in beating the Vols 34-7. Now, they’re attempting to shake things up by firing a coach.

Ironically, it’s a former Kentucky assistant.

Late Sunday night, Rivals’ Austin Price reported that defensive line coach and co-defensive coordinator Jimmy Brumbaugh had been let go by Tennessee. This was his first year in Knoxville, where he watched Kentucky lay waste to his Vols Saturday.
