Jeremy Pruitt

Interviewing former Tennessee HC and Alabama and Georgia assistant Jeremy Pruitt.

Tennessee football is well-positioned for the future under coach Josh Heupel – at least according to the coach Heupel replaced. Jeremy Pruitt believes in Heupel's Vols, so much so that he labeled Tennessee and Kentucky as his two breakout teams in the SEC for the 2022 season during a recent appearance on the "Crain & Company" podcast. On this edition of "The Volunteer State," Blake Toppmeyer of the USA TODAY Network and the News Sentinel's John Adams review Pruitt's comments and debate whether Pruitt might be a better analyst than he was a coach.
