[CNCVol88]

He is not a polished speaker, but he says the things you want to hear from a coach.

Ill take this over leadership reps any day of the week.

 

[A-RodWiLks]

Thats what I am thinking

I was big on Brohm and on Leach...but I think Pruitt may have been the best fit for us at the end of the day. Excited to see what he can do here.

He may not be "polished" but he comes across as very sincere.

 

[Freak]

I like that he's talking about the entire organization and everyone buying in.

 

[TNHopeful505]

This guy is definitely winning the press conference.

 

[rjd970]

I like that he's talking about the entire organization and everyone buying in.

I think this gets overlooked more than anything. It's extremely important. Fulmer has said that is what helped him so much, everybody from the top down was on the same page with the same goal and how to get there.

 

[BarbaricYawp]

I'm all in.

 

[Achilles]

He sure does like that mic doesn't he? Lol, I noticed he did the same thing in some of his other interviews.

 

[Russdaddy2027]

Dominate Border States thats a T Shirt!

 

[Freak]

I think he nailed it, except for maybe the awkward story about his dad taking off his belt and dragging him to the barn. lol

 

[volmark]

Im old but i think this deserves my first ever meme attempt

 

[Freak]

Fulmer looks comfortable and happy to be back helping Tennessee. He seems very pleased with the hire.

 

[big harry]

Gonna have to get rid of the Sabanesque 'aight' tick. Driving me nutts already...aight?

 

[TNHopeful505]

He said "mental toughness," do not want.

 

[Russdaddy2027]

Gonna have to get rid of the Sabanesque 'aight' tick. Driving me nutts already...aight?

nope it distinguishes him and will now be a UT t-shirt

 

[Freak]

Fulmer: "I like my chances with this coach."

 

[Volswin98]

Last question was absolutely stupid. Do you think you can get this team there? What in the he:: is he supposed to say???? That was butch jones of journalist.

 

[Orangeblood98']

sounds like a football coach...very different from my first impression of butch who sounded like someone who desperately wanted to be a football coach

Totally agree. You nailed it

 

[checkerboards09]

We couldnt afford a better mic?

No, Butch took all our money.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

His dad coached at Marion County High School in Jasper for a year. His dad is a heck of a coach too.

His dad coaches at a high school about 2 miles from my house! Know the guy through football training. The pedigree is top notch

 

[TNHopeful505]

Last question was absolutely stupid. Do you think you can get this team there? What in the he:: is he supposed to say???? That was butch jones of journalist.

I just wanted him to say "He!! yeah, we can get there!"

 

[Freak]

Yeah, that was a terrible question and wordy, the way it was asked.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

And for anyone wondering, it's Albertville High School.

 

[Voltrapnbama]

Yeah, that was a terrible question and wordy, the way it was asked.

Well Pruitt handled it well all while calling him an idiot while answering

 

[k-town_king]

haha, yeah, could do without that!

Yea lets get some cornball with perfect grammar kids don't connect with.

Who cares if he says "aight"? I'm sure most recruits do too. We need a coach not an English professor.

Great presser.
