Pruitt: My Job is to Coach

Following Tennessee’s 30-17 loss to Auburn — the team’s fifth straight, all by double-digit margins— Pruitt was asked if he had a message to the fans regarding the direction of the football program.

“That ain’t my job, guys. My job is to coach. If you want to ask me a football question, ask me a football question.”

In the past, Pruitt has acknowledged he knows the fanbase is unhappy, and he basically said he shared that sentiment and understood.

But last night, he wasn’t having it. And I get that — to an extent.
