Tennessee practiced for the sixth time during fall training camp on Tuesday.
Third-year defensive line coach Rodney Garner met with media following practice. He discussed the growth of the Vols’ defensive line group since arriving at Tennessee.
“Along the lines of changing the culture of the room, I do feel like we are moving the room in the right direction,” Garner said. “Now, we have peers holding each other accountable. That’s what you want. If you’re ever going to have a championship caliber program, you have to have the leadership coming from within.
“Now, you’re seeing guys starting to hold each other more accountable. It’s not just the coaches where they’re sitting there saying, ‘That’s not our standard, that’s not how we do things.’ I think if we can keep moving in that direction, then we’ll be able to achieve better results.”
