Despite Tennessee’s slow start under Pruitt, there’s no doubt at all that the Volunteers are headed in the right direction under his leadership.
Prior to Pruitt arriving in Knoxville, Butch Jones was the head coach, and Tennessee’s football program was descending into utter chaos.
It was painful to watch the Volunteers play.
With Pruitt in control, the Volunteers are absolutely trending in the correct direction. The man knows how to recruit and they ended the 2019 season on a strong not after showing vast improvement.
For right now, there’s no doubt at all that he’s the man for the job.
Now, we’ll have to see if he can keep taking strides forward. Fans should certainly feel good right now.
