Summary
GoVols247’s Wes Rucker went into Fort Rucker Studio to briefly discuss some recent news before giving way to the main course of this episode — a lengthy discussion with Tennessee football coach Jeremy Pruitt about how he and his program are handling this unusual quarantine period and an uncertain future that will (at some point) follow it.
Pruitt recently sat down for a half-hour to discuss where things stand for him, his program and the rest of the college football world at the moment, and he offered some candid remarks about the uncertainties facing everyone and football’s proper place in the world in a time like the present.
Tennessee’s coach also offered some interesting insights into his daily life these days, and how different things have been with him working from home in a house full of young children.
The next GoVols247 Podcast episode will be released Wednesday, unless major breaking news occurs before that point.
