Ex-Tennessee Vols assistant Joe Osovet breaks silence on allegations behind firing

Former Heritage High School (Maryville, TN) head football coach and Tennessee Volunteers tight end coach Joe Osovet is breaking his silence after being fired from his position at the Blount County school on Oct. 20. A report received by the Heritage High School administration stated that Osovet had attempted to influence the team's athletic trainers to circumvent the concussion protocol during a game against Carter on Sept. 25. A week later, Osovet was placed on administrative leave.
