"Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt has quickly moved on from defensive line coach and co-defensive coordinator Jimmy Brumbaugh. Sources tell Volquest that the first year Vols assistant was relieved of his duties on Sunday following Tennessee's 34-7 loss to Kentucky. "

His development of JG was unacceptable.

Wondering if it's something to this than just coaching.....Just hired him on a 2 year contract at $625,000 per year. Didn't have a Spring....limited camp and fire him after 4 games? Doesn't add up. And we've got some good DL committed....Hope this doesn't effect those.

Pruitt sticking with JG so long reminds me of Fulmer keeping Sanders as OC until the heat got so strong that his own job was in trouble. This right here makes no sense firing the DL coach. Just when you think we have a good coach..

So when is Chris Weinke's ass going to be headed out the door?
If it's position performance based, then it's hypocritical of Poot to fire Brumbaugh but not Weinke.

Obviously Brumbaugh's exit had nothing to do with the offense, but.. it's a bad look. I don't know what Brumbaugh could've done to get axed 4 games into the season.
I get the impression Pruitt doesn't care if something's a bad look or not. He's too hard headed to care what people think.

Pruitt has been complaining about the DL since the start of fall camp There has clearly been a disconnect between the HC and the DL coach Also, Brumbaugh was Ansley's hire, they had worked together before I guess Pruitt decided to cut bait now vs the end of the season, though I thought the change would have been better after next week's game, with the open date We also don't know if there was a triggering event either Saturday, post game or during the meetings yesterday. All that known is he was gone before practice last night

Hopefully it allows Pruitt to go after Tosh Lupoi at the end of the season. He is an excellent recruiter, worked with him at Alabama, and currently maybe in a no win situation with the Atlanta Falcons as their DL coach.

Well...at least Pruitt is not afraid to make changes in his staff like Fulmer was. Although Will Friend may be an exception.
On Brumbaugh, maybe part of it is that Pruitt wants more say in the defense again and thus ejected the "co-DC" with whom he may have had philosophical issues. It does seem odd though.

Our DBs have not improved....they can't cover a 1 legged grandmother....That's Pruitt's and Ansley's baby. So let's fire the DL coach 4 games in.
The next time JG throws a INT.....the kicking coach better watch his back.

Maybe Pruitt needs to go. Seems petty of him to fire DC. DC didn't cause them to score only 7 against KY.

Fire Pruitt, then what? You'll be screaming about why whoever bargain bin coach we hire can't beat UGA, UF, and BAMA next year.

Or perhaps he's not afraid to throw his coaches under the bus. Or does he have no responsibility for their sad play? Losing to UK like that is a big no-no as far as career enhancements go. But I will go out on a limb and say wont lose to Bama by that much. Just a feeling.

Throw them under the bus, fire them, whateer. Not much difference really, is there? Actually a coach known for that is Johnny Majors. He fired assistants left and right, and from I have heard could not get along with them either. My opinion is that Fulmer, having survived Majors longer than most, went 180 deg the opposite direction, which was also a mistake. You have to have balance about it like everything else.
