I think the big thing for our guys is the meetings, Pruitt said after Tuesdays practice at Haslam Field. I think the meetings are a little different than what theyre accustomed to.
Pruitt chose his words carefully he, like most coaches, will do anything to avoid publicly criticizing a peer but he didnt deny that players have told him the lengths of meetings and responsibilities of players in those meetings are different from the past.
I just think that maybe and all Im going from is feedback from the players is its a little bit different from an organizational standpoint, possibly a little longer, Pruitt said. We do a lot. We cover a lot of details, especially from a defensive standpoint. I know our offense does, too, and then special teams.
And Im not saying somebody else didnt. What Im saying is its a lot of information in one meeting. Sometimes it might be too much if youre not used to it. What happens is, is you get a lot of guys that are fired up, and they want to do their best, theyre really locked in to trying to get it.
But sometimes they cant figure out exactly what they need to be getting. Theyre trying to listen to everything instead of exactly their part of the picture.
I do think the guys are trying hard to grasp it,
