All this talk of firing CJP is wishful thinking at best. The reality is the university cannot afford to fire him.
Tennessee awarded Pruitt a two-year contract extension in September, and he’s set to earn a retention bonus and a raise in 2021. He’s under contract through Jan. 31, 2026. If Tennessee were to fire Pruitt after this season, he would be owed a buyout of nearly $13 million, with no obligation to mitigate the damages.
Keep in mind the university is still paying severance to Butch Jones, who was fired in 2017, through the end of February 2021.
What really stands out is CJP has the university by the balls with the "no obligation to mitigate damages" clause. If he were fired he could essentially go to a rival most likely Bama and get a lowball salary and the university would be paying him to coach against us.
Cant make this crap up...….SMH!!!!
