New York Giants officially announce the hire of Jeremy Pruitt as defensive assistant

Jeremy Pruitt will be coaching defense this fall, but not at the college level. Following an investigation into his staff’s recruiting, Pruitt is untouchable now thanks to some likely incoming NCAA penalties. However, the NFL is fair game — and it didn’t take Pruitt long to find work.

The now former Tennessee head coach has joined the staff of the New York Giants, officially announced today as a senior defensive assistant. Head coach Joe Judge made things official today.

“Jeremy’s going to work with all levels of the defense, the back end, the linebackers and the front,” Judge said via Giants.
