Tennessee Volunteers Head Coach Josh Heupel's post-game press conference after defeating Alabama 24-7 in Neyland Stadium on the third Saturday of October.

It was announced Monday morning that Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt has been fired “for cause” after an internal investigation found alleged NCAA violations within the program, as reported by Pete Thamel of Yahoo Supports. Pruitt finished his tenure in Knoxville with a 16-19 overall record.
