Report: Contract Dispute Holding Up Tennessee's Pursuit Of Jeff Brohm

The Tennessee Volunteers were preparing to hire Purdue head coach Jeff Brohm, according to Jimmy Hyams of Sports Radio WNML.

However, Tennessee's negotiations with Brohm have stalled due to a contract disagreement, according to OutkickTheCoverage.com's Clay Travis.

The Tennessee Volunteers were preparing to hire Purdue head coach Jeff Brohm, according to Jimmy Hyams of Sports Radio WNML.

Tennessee reportedly turned their attention to Brohm after being turned down by Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy yesterday.

Brohm did wonders at Western Kentucky, leading them to back to back double-digit win seasons and bowl games before getting the Purdue job last offseason. In his first year with the program, Brohm has guided the Boilermakers to a bowl game for the first time since 2012.

Two-star safety Cory Trice, a Purdue commit, posted on Twitter a picture of Brohm visiting him at school this morning and says that Brohm told him he's not leaving the Boilermakers for the Vols.

Earlier this week, the Vols went through more uncertainty regarding their head coaching vacancy after going through the hiring - then un-hiring - fiasco with Ohio State defensive coordinator Greg Schiano.

Brohm is 36-16 in his four years as a head coach, reaching a bowl game every season.
