Wells has already been disciplined. Butch Jones  is "comfortable" with Wells as his offensive line coach.

Wells received a six-month sentence, to be served at Knoxville County Detention Facility, but that sentence was suspended for time served.

In an effort to lay indisputable claim to the famous "Phil Fulmer Cup", named for its long time former player and HC, the University of Tennessee has announced today that henceforth any staff or athletic department member arrested and/or convicted of either a misdemeanor or felony will be awarded additional points toward the award. Guidelines are as such: All offenses charged but not resulting in conviction will result in 500 points (misdemeanor)/1,000 points for felonies. All such arrests resulting in actual conviction(s) will be awarded double the above levels; guilty verdicts leading in jail/prison time will mean triple points.
