TENNESSEE
Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt learned from Nick Saban — a great mentor in nearly every aspect of being a coach.
Now, it’s clear he’s taken Saban’s penchant for “ass chewings” to heart, and the target of his first Tennessee rant was sophomore LB Deandre Johnson.
As you can see in the video below, Pruitt got up in Johnson’s face during the first quarter of Saturday’s game against UTEP:
Deandre Johnson was definitely hearing everything Jeremy Pruitt had to say after that blunder. #Vols pic.twitter.com/2VGDzwWVog

What did Johnson do to earn such an ass chewing? He was the 12th man on the field during a key play, drawing a penalty flag.
It’s clear that Pruitt will tolerate physical mistakes (as long as they’re made with max effort), but he has much less patience for mental errors. Johnson likely won’t make this mistake again.
That is not what Nick Saban does. He teaches you a lesson, does hang around to argue with you and definitely doesn’t grab his players. Nick is professional, Pruitt looked unhinged and as if he was not teaching a lessons but was blowing off steam…not Nick Saban.
Doesn’t hang around to argue
Saban absolutely did that in his first year at Bama. He inherited a team just as bad as TN currently is. You don’t go from what they were to what they are without hard intense coaching he needs to be toeing the line now so he doesn’t have to later.
Hey Dr Evil it is not # 13 that told you to take the suckiest job in the conference. Why take it out on him. Loser!!!!
You mad bro?
Come on Justin Rhine you’re better then that.
