Maybe Pruitt was just thinking of his seniors and wanted to share some words with them.
Or maybe he was taking advantage of a great moment to motivate his squad.
Or maybe he had a genuine reflective moment of his own while walking the Vol Walk for his last home game of his first season as a HC at one of the most presitigious and cultured schools in CFB history, and he wanted to share his emotions with his team and make sure they understand just how special it is to be playing CFB for the University of Tennessee on a Saturday in November.
Regardless, I bet whatever he tells the media about it will be incredibly disappointing for those with a vying interest.
