A Tennessee football season like this one is probably going to require some scapegoats.

The Vols (2-4) are in danger of enduring their first five-game losing streak since they started the 1988 season 0-6. Already, coach Jeremy Pruitt has fired one assistant. He dismissed defensive line coach Jimmy Brumbaugh on Oct. 18. 

That might not be enough to quiet frustrations if Tennessee continues on a downward spiral in its third season under Pruitt.
