Social media trolls Tennessee following Vols blowout loss to Alabama

Jeremy Pruitt entered Saturday with hopes of being the first former Nick Saban assistant to get a win over the old boss as a head coach. Pruitt’s Volunteers, however, did not come through as Alabama thumped Tennessee 48-17 in Knoxville.

After starting 2-0 in 2020, UT is now 2-3 on the year with back-to-back losses to Georgia, Kentucky and Alabama. Over in the Big Ten, Greg Schiano is back as Rutgers’ head coach. The Scarlet Knights start Schiano’s second run 1-0 with Rutgers’ 38-27 win over Michigan State.

Schiano and Pruitt are getting mentioned in a lot of the same tweets trolling Tennessee.

Hey Tennessee fans. Greg Schiano is a better coach than Jeremy Pruitt. Love you, bye.

Remember when Tennessee fans rioted because Greg Schiano was going to be their next head coach? At least they get to enjoy the Jeremy Pruitt experience!

I honestly don’t want to hear it with the “Fire Pruitt” crowd at the moment. Why? Because you got Pruitt hired. You mobbed up and ran off a potential coach in Greg Schiano over allegations that he knew something about Sandusky. But look, Rutgers look good and y’all still trash.

Tennessee fans going nuts over Pruitt. Could've had Greg Schiano. But no.. didnt want him . Schiano lead Rutgers to a 38-27 win at Michigan State in his first game back today. Oh well.
