Many things undid Butch Jones as head coach for Tennessee football. One of the most prominent things fans blamed was his conditioning. After two years of numerous injuries depleting the Vols, everybody put the issue more on him than bad luck.
But we can’t forget that he did hire Rock Gullickson back in 2017. And Gullickson came highly acclaimed. So was it all on the strength coach? Was it the way the team practiced? Was it bad luck?
Whatever it was, Jeremy Pruitt now has more pressure on him. He replaced Gullickson with Craig Fitzgerald.
