Jeremy Pruitt Announces 2 Tennessee Players Have Already Left the Program

After a crushing loss on Saturday, the Tennessee Volunteers football team has been surrounded with drama this week.

Head coach Jeremy Pruitt irked fans with a lack of emotion in his post game interview after a terrible loss against Georgia State.

Extending the drama, Pruitt announced on Wednesday that two of his players, Jordan Murphy and Terrell Bailey, have left the team.

Per Jeremy Pruitt in the SEC Coaches Teleconference, Jordan Murphy and Terrell Bailey have let the team. It was their decision, Pruitt said. Murphy upset a lot of fans this week after tweeting a joke about losing to Georgia State.

Murphy is a junior wideout that missed Saturday's game with an illness. Last season, the speedy slot receiver caught 11 passes for 155 yards.

Despite missing Saturday's game, Murphy took to Twitter to laugh at the embarrassing loss.

The tweet read, "Man y'all can't tell me this ain't funny," and was soon deleted.

The sophomore cornerback Bailey was a 3-star signee from New Orleans and has not played much with the Vols.

Pruitt said that it was the players' own decision to leave the team. However, it seems that fed-up Tennessee fans won't miss a player who doesn't take losing seriously.
