Vols react to Jeremy Pruitt's Alabama roots, seeing Butch Jones with Tide

Tuscaloosa to Knoxville.

Knoxville to Tuscaloosa.

The circuit was active this offseason with a volume of transactions not quickly associated with a rivalry like Alabama and Tennessee.

The Vols got Alabama's defensive coordinator, Jeremy Pruitt, staffer Chris Weinke, and more recently, Tide offensive lineman transfer Brandon Kennedy.

In unrelated moves, Alabama hired former Vol player personnel director Bob Welton for the same job. Oh, and former Tennessee head coach Butch Jones is now an analyst on the Crimson Tide staff.

A few players on both sides of that dynamic were asked about the comings and goings at last week's SEC Media Days in Atlanta.
