Sources report hourly that a decision is imminent, but there is no rushing the Tennessee football head coaching search. Three elite Southeastern Conference defensive coordinators are now the focus of the latest speculation. All have great defensive resumes and have worked in elite college programs. But there are differences in the trio Tennessee Athletic Director Phil Fulmer will consider.
Jeremy Pruitt
Jeremy Pruitt, Alabama’s current defensive coordinator, is receiving a second interview. Pruitt’s resume includes experience as a high school coach and deep ties to the Alabama high school football community.
Pruitt played for and coached for his dad, Dale Pruitt, at Plainville High School in Alabama.
