Pruitt said "When I call a blitz, our guys tip toe to the quarterback. So I asked them if they see [some other unnamed team] tip toe?"
GREG FROM MURFREESBORO Question/comment: "Coach, how is it to have a national championship-winning coach out on your playing field while you’re practicing all the time? How much do you converse with him? Do you ask him for advice? I know he’s not going to tell you what to do, he’s going to wait to ask you what to do." Pruitt: "You know, me and Coach Fulmer have a really good relationship. We kind of grew up in the same kind of background. We both want the same thing. We want the Tennessee football program to be the best program in the country. We have a plan and we’re working together. It takes everybody involved. Being the head football coach, it’s very important to have the support of your administration. We definitely have that. So I think Coach Fulmer knows as good as anybody, when things were going really well at Tennessee, what was the reason. And when things have not gone the way we want it to, he probably knows the answer there. If you’re asking me if I’m going to be the head football coach at Tennessee, who would I want to be the athletic director? I would have picked Coach Fulmer." Kesling: "It’s of interesting, when Coach Fulmer took over, Coach Dickey was the AD. So Coach Fulmer could go down the hall and get a lot of advice from Coach Dickey on how to do some things, and you have that luxury with Coach Fulmer." Pruitt: "Yeah, and we do. Again, we have a great relationship. He stops by and sees me all the time. And if I have a question, I ask it. For instance, last night he just popped in the defensive staff room. And we’re just sitting there talking, actually we were watching a little tape. He probably stood there for two minutes and he was about to leave. I said, ‘Hey coach, I want to ask you a question. If we played this front or this front, what gave you the hardest time to block?’ There are lots of athletic directors that can’t answer that kind of question."
Coach: "Hey, Dave Hart, what should I do when they throw zone blocking iso play back door shoot around at us?" Dave Hart: "Well, I would build a new indoor golf training facility." *walks out and slams door*
Lulz... I could see Jones asking exactly that question... as he’s sideways peeking at a football for dummies book pretending he actually knows what those individual terms mean...
