Manager Naylor and Tennessee Part Company Thursday, May 11th, 2017 Some choice words were used at the Tennessee Volunteers press confrence informing the public manager Jimmy Naylor was fired today. The owner was quoted as saying, "Maybe I didn't want to admit that I made a mistake. To be quite frank with you, I'm firing him for cause now, I'm not firing him for anything else other than cause. I reached a point where I felt the best thing to do was to make a change. It hurts because I picked the guy. I picked the wrong guy. This is regretful, but I thought it was best for the Volunteers. And I wanted to make it work, because I want the Volunteers to do great. Someone said to me the other day, a newspaperman, 'Why don't you tell us your side of the story? Why don't you tell us what's happening?' And I said to him, Look, I don't want to win in the press, I want to win on the field." And with that the press conference ended. |
