Episode 75: Jeremy Pruitt Time in Tennessee

GoVols247's Wes Rucker and Patrick Brown went into Fort Rucker Studio to break down the hire of Alabama defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt as the 26th head football coach at the University of Tennessee. And it took the Vols nearly 26 days — and two athletic directors — after the firing of Butch Jones to end a wild search with Pruitt, a 43-year-old coach and recruiter with a staggeringly impressive resume. Pruitt, an Alabama native and former Alabama player, has always seen things from the South side of The Third Saturday in October rivalry, but he sure looked happy in orange Thursday night at Neyland Stadium. What does the Pruitt hire mean for Tennessee? How should fans feel about the way this search ended, and what should the expectations be for this staff going forward? And who will be on this staff? There are so many questions, and we tried to tackle all of them in our first of many Jeremy Pruitt podcast episodes in the coming weeks and months.
