Episode 142: Vols OC search continues

GoVols247's Wes Rucker, Patrick Brown and Ryan Callahan went into Fort Rucker Studio to break down the latest on two pressing issues — the search for a new offensive coordinator, and all things recruiting — for the Tennessee football program. It’s now been a week-and-a-half since Tennessee offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tyson Helton left to become the head coach at Western Kentucky, and Pruitt is still going through the process of finding a replacement. He’s not moving as quickly as many Tennessee fans would prefer, but he remains in no hurry to make a hire and is confident that his due-diligence process will end the right way. Who would be the ideal fit to replace Helton? It’s a fair question, and we debate that question in this episode. We also discuss all things Hugh Freeze, because that’s very clearly a pressing issue with a significant portion of Tennessee’s fan base. The offensive coordinator search has been far from the only thing on Pruitt’s mind these days, though. With the early signing period getting closer and closer on the horizon, and a critical visiting period open, Pruitt and his staff are hitting the trail hard. The Vols are very much in play with some of the nation’s top prospects, and we have updates on some of those prospects in this episode.
