Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt spoke to the media in the Radio Room on Tuesday at SEC Football Media Days.

He covered a lot of different topics including how he feels about this year’s team.

“I’ve been coaching since, I don’t know my math’s not very good, since 1997. I’m as excited about this football team as any I’ve ever been around. It’s not about how many games we’re going to win or anything like that. I know that’s how you’re measured, but it’s just about being around people and how they go to work.”
