It was revealed earlier this week that Tennessee outreach coordinator Antone Davis was resigning his post due to what he said was “constant intimidation, bullying and mental abuse’’ suffered at the hands of coach Butch Jones.

Davis was an All-American offensive lineman during his time at Tennessee, and was the No. 8 overall pick in the 1991 NFL Draft.

In the resignation email obtained by SportsRadioWNML.com, Davis said he regrets that others may be forced to endure the hostile work environment he did:

“I want you to know that I am not leaving Tennessee because I want to,’’ Davis wrote in the email. “I am leaving because I must. My biggest regret and fear is that I am leaving behind student-athletes and co-workers that may be subjected to the same treatment I have received.’’

Davis added that he regrets that things were allowed to go on for so long, a statement that seems to indict AD John Currie:

“In closing, I deeply regret that things have been allowed to transpire, causing a high level of anxiety and other health issues thus creating my need to resign.’’

If what Davis says is true, the Vols may not have heard the last from him. If he can prove that intimidation and bullying occurred, lawsuits may be forthcoming.
