An interim coach should not be able to make a long-term decision for a program three days before his tenure comes to an end. That’s what Brady Hoke did with the Tennessee football program on Wednesday when he dismissed Jauan Jennings.

According to Mike Wilson of the Knoxville News Sentinel, Jennings was dismissed after going on a profanity-laced Instagram rant criticizing the Vols coaches. He apparently said he went to practice Wednesday hoping to play against the Vanderbilt Commodores Saturday. After talking about hating Vanderbilt, he then went at the coaches, accusing them of lying and called them fake and snakes.
