Tennessee fans immediately took to his no-nonsense, simple man attitude. And man — that’s exactly what this program needed. The Vols are now free from Butch Jones, who was terrible on the field and even worse at the podium. Pruitt has been recruiting like a maniac so far and currently has Tennessee in the top ten in the 2019 class rankings. He’s won the offseason, now he just needs to some some sort of pulse on the field to rebound from a 4-8 season.
I think there’s long-term confidence in Pruitt, simply based on recruiting. He’s already improved this program and filled a few needs.
