Robert Neyland Jr. happy with Fulmer's choice in Pruitt

[Titans Fan]

Quote from Neyland Jr. on his Dad:

“He was a hard-nosed coach,” Neyland Jr. said of the General. “He emphasized being tough and would say frequently before we went out on the field that ‘resolution and determination – that’s what’s going to win for you today’.

“He was tough and firm and by and large his players respected him and liked him.”

That's really cool that the General's son backs Coach Pruitt

Greatest coach of all time imo

This is a cool article. Thanks for it, Titans.

I didn't realize that the General's son was still so closely following the program. Really happy to hear that he is.

I had the opportunity to meet and talk with Robert Jr. a long time ago. He was working at a bank client of mine in Kingsport in a very responsible job. Nice guy!

He told me that his Dad didn't play him much because he didn't want to be accused of favoritism. I have always heard that Robert Jr. was a really good player who would have made headlines somewhere else. He follows the Vols closely and knows a lot about football.
