KNOXVILLE — The final week of the regular season has kicked off.
Ahead of the Tennessee-Vanderbilt contest in Week 14, Jeremy Pruitt discussed what he is thankful for with Thanksgiving taking place before the in-state matchup.
“Number one, I am thankful for my family,” Pruitt said. “My wife, my kids, my mom, my dad, my brothers and sisters. I think we all are. I am thankful for having an opportunity to work for the University of Tennessee. I am thankful for these players that we have a chance to be around every day and what a blessing they are to us. I am thankful for the men that I work with. There are lots of things to be thankful for.
“This is probably my favorite holiday just because of that. I think we get caught up sometimes in the wins and losses. I realize that is what we get paid to do, but the opportunity to work with the men in this profession, to be around the student-athletes and everybody that touches the student-athletes and watch them grow over a period of time, it is why I wanted to get into coaching football, so I could be a part of something like this. So, I am thankful to have an opportunity to do it at a wonderful university that football is so important to.”
Tennessee and Vanderbilt will kickoff at 4 p.m. ET and will be televised by the SEC Network.
