New Tennessee defensive line coach Jimmy Brumbaugh is all about the details

Jeremy Pruitt shook up his staff a bit this offseason, getting some new blood into Knoxville. Tracy Rocker, Kevin Sherrer and Chris Rumph each departed Pruitt’s staff, offering the third-year head coach a chance to reshape.

One of his first calls was to Colorado defensive line coach Jimmy Brumbaugh, a former defensive lineman himself who played at Auburn. Brumbaugh was quickly announced as Rocker’s replacement, and according to Tennessee defensive tackle Matthew Butler, he hit the ground running.

During media availability on Thursday, Butler shared a story of just how quickly Brumbaugh went to work — and how meticulous he was.
