Former Tennessee WR Jayson Swain names 3 AD candidates Vols should consider

Published:
The Tennessee Volunteers experienced a massive shakeup in the athletics department on Monday, with football coach Jeremy Pruitt being fired for cause and AD Phillip Fulmer also leaving.
Now, the Vols will likely need to get a new athletic director in place before a football coach can be hired (although anything is possible on Rocky Top).
On Monday after the news broke, former Tennessee WR (and current radio host) Jayson Swain named 3 candidates he thinks the Vols should consider for their open AD job:
Here's who I think SHOULD be the top choices to be #Tennessee next athletic director in no order. All three guys are MORE than qualified and knows #Tennessee.
Gerald Harrison – Austin Peay
Mark Ingram – UAB
Jon Gilbert – East Carolina— Jayson Swain (@SwainEvent) January 18, 2021
Whoever is hired as the Vols’ next AD will be counted on to right the ship when it comes to the football program. That will start immediately with the hiring of a new head coach.
Will the Vols hire 1 of the 3 candidates Swain mentioned, or look elsewhere? We’ll find out soon enough!
