Jeremy Pruitt found Craig Fitzgerald’s replacement for the Tennessee football Volunteers.

One question surrounding the Tennessee football program has been solved. The Vols have promoted A.J. Artis to strength and conditioning coach as Craig Fitzgerald’s replacement, according to UTSports.

Artis’ official title will be director of football sports performance. He has effectively been running the program for the past two months, ever since Fitzgerald, who had been running the program since Jeremy Pruitt first arrived in 2018, left to take a similar position with the New York Giants.
