When Jeremy Pruitt took over as head coach of the Tennessee football program over two years ago, he was hired by a former UT player and coach in Phillip Fulmer, who is now the Vols’ athletic director. His first year on the job, he had one former player on the staff, Terry Fair.
Fast-forward to 2020. Pruitt just hired Jay Graham to replace David Johnson as the Vols’ running backs coach and to likely become their special teams coordinator with Kevin Sherrer also leaving. With Graham, he has two former players on staff and three former UT coaches on his staff.
