Thought this was a great read. Shows not only a man who takes responsibility for how his team performs, but critiques himself as much as he critiques his players. Mods can merge if necessary.
Pruitt: Lukewarm player relationships were my fault
Off 247--Wes Rucker
HOOVER, Ala. — Jeremy Pruitt wasn’t kidding when he said he started his first offseason at Tennessee with a good, long look in the mirror.
He was awfully candid when disclosing the outcome, as well.
Tennessee’s head coach said in a side room during his Tuesday appearance at SEC Media Days that his well-intentioned focus on the long term didn’t help the short-term situation last season.
Pruitt blamed himself for the Vols’ 5-7 performance in his first season as a head coach and said things could have — and perhaps should have — would better if he’d kept his focus on the same place he’d always had it as an assistant coach. On his players.
