According to him, it became known amongst the players that after the Notre Dame game, the head coach was going to be fired during the BYE week no matter what. Thus, the players gave the effort they gave against Notre Dame. Also, the AD is completely checked out and is going to be replaced. Interesting info, and I’m really glad Tennessee isn’t in that kind of turmoil anymore. Oh, and good job by @Eric_Cain

ABJR said:I doubt their offense will change much considering their interim coach was the OC already calling plays.Either way I think it’s bad for TN to face a basically new unscouted team in 2 weeks. We won’t know what to expect so I feel like that levels the playing field a little bit. Petrino is a very good coach who could give us problems.

ABJR said:Where did this idea that Petrino is a “very good” coach come from? Many people have been saying that the last couple days, and it’s simply not true. We need to stop engaging in groupthink. Since 2011, his record as a HC is 2013: 8-5 2014: 9-4 2015: 8-5 (w Heisman winning QB) 2016: 9-4 (w Heisman winning QB) 2017: 2-8 2020: 5-5 (FCS) 2021: 8-4 (FCS) 2022: 5-6 (FCS) thats like a Butch Jones/Kevin Sumlin career. Not that of a “very good” coach. The last time he was anything that remotely resembled a “very good” coach, I was a freshman in high school.

VFL1995 said:Agreed. If Petrino was a very good HC, he would’ve already been coaching somewhere else. He was relegated to being the OC for a hot seat head coach for a reason. Also, he was already running the offense. Now he has less time to devote to just the offense. He’s not a defensive coach and he immediately fired half of the defensive staff. No way they’re able to put together and execute a good game plan in 2 weeks.Where did this idea that Petrino is a “very good” coach come from?

Because the offense is not unscouted in any sense, and there is plenty of film now on all the players.Either way I think it’s bad for TN to face a basically new unscouted team in 2 weeks.

TSH said:Two things here: 1.) It's hard for me to believe that Pittman was going to be fired regardless of the outcome of the Notre Dame game. It sounds like they already had their minds made up long before last Saturday. So why did they even let him start the season as the head coach? Makes no sense. 2.) Petrino being hired as OC has always had a stench to it. Nobody can convince me that it was all Pittman's idea to bring him back. There are obviously influential people in the Arkansas brass who want Petrino back as head coach. If that's what happens, then they will get what they deserve.The interview of John Nebors of Locked on Razorbacks.
