(This is the first of a series of reports in which coaches who are promised anonymity for their responses give their assessments of Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt and the state of UT’s football program)
A coach with extensive SEC experience has no doubt Jeremy Pruitt will have success at Tennessee – and soon.
“To me, Jeremy is the best defensive mind in the SEC,” said the coach, who is still in the SEC.
That’s strong praise, especially with Alabama’s Nick Saban – Pruitt’s most recent boss – considered a defensive guru and another Saban protégé, Georgia’s Kirby Smart, known for his defensive prowess as well.
