Jeremy Pruitt firing Jimmy Brumbaugh could hurt the Tennessee football Volunteers.

Well, Tennessee football has itself another coaching search in Knoxville. No, it won’t be garnering the same hype that the Butch Jones – Jeremy Pruitt debacle attracted, but filling this vacancy will be incredibly important towards recruiting young talent in the future.

The search comes after Pruitt fired defensive line coach Jimmy Brumbaugh following the Vols’ 34-7 loss to the Kentucky Wildcats.
