Jeremy Pruitt, his staff and student-athletes have endured going through a football season that has been unparalleled due to COVID-19.
The Vols have one game remaining in a 10-game, SEC-only regular season.
Tennessee (3-6, 3-6 SEC) hosts No. 5 Texas A&M (7-1, 7-1 SEC) Saturday at Neyland Stadium. Kickoff is slated for noon EST. ESPN will televise the matchup.
The Rock, a staple on the University of Tennessee’s campus for free speech with paintings, displayed the words “Fire Pruitt Save UT Football Choose Joy” on Sunday.
The message was displayed on the University of Tennessee’s campus until 9:15 a.m. EST Monday morning.
Former Tennessee defensive lineman Daniel Hood (2009-13) discussed the University of Tennessee program, its current state and ways to avoid situations such as The Rock having a message being displayed for an extended period of time on campus.
“UT needs to stop trying to act like they have it all figured out,” Hood told Vols Wire. “Go spend whatever amount it cost to bring Jocko and Leif in and let them take control for three months.”
Jocko Willink and Leif Babin are former Navy SEAL commanders and have worked with more than 400 businesses since founding their leadership consulting firm.
