Breathe easy, Vol Nation. We actually have a sense of direction on Rocky Top these days.
The Vols finally solved their Bigfoot-esque mystery of who was going to become the next head coach of the football program. After just six short days of AD Phillip Fulmer’s reign, the Vols hired Alabama defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt, making him the 26th head coach in program history.
Even though the majority of Pruitt’s lineage derives from the state of Alabama, this move has Fulmer’s fingerprints all over it. Pruitt is a tough, defensive-minded coach with an excellent track record when it comes to the recruiting process.
