On Tuesday, former Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray questioned whether new Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt had the personality to lead a major college program and said he treated Mark Richt poorly while on his staff at Georgia.
On Wednesday, Pruitt responded.
"Fifteen years ago I was a kindergarten teacher, and now I'm the head coach at Tennessee," he told reporters at SEC media days, per Alex Scarborough of ESPN.com. "You probably don't make that ascension without knowing how to treat people."
Murray didn't pull any punches when discussing Pruitt during an interview on 102.
