With the report coming out on Wednesday that Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt is likely not making a hire at offensive coordinator till after the early signing period in recruiting, it’s time to reset the list of candidates once again.

Pruitt is likely looking for a proven recruiter and someone who has a strong history of proven play-calling. Whether that’s someone already working for an SEC or Power Five school or an NFL coach, that remains to be seen.
Here’s an updated look at who Tennessee is likely to target once they resume their search for an offensive coordinator.
