Eli Drinkwitz knew changes needed to be made. The Tigers had just allowed 62 points and 683 yards at home against Tennessee. The Vols racked up 458 yards on the ground and the only reason they didn’t have more is because they took their foot off the gas in the second half.
The changes were almost immediate. It was announced on Sunday that defensive line coach Jethro Franklin had been fired. On Tuesday, Drinkwitz told the media there would be no depth chart for the week.
“There’s no depth chart. There’s Tuesday’s practice,” Drinkwitz told the media on Tuesday.
