Flea'd from TOS:

“Temperatures in the mid-30s didn't chase Tennessee indoors on Wednesday as the Vols were outside at Haslam Field instead of on the indoor field inside the Anderson Training Center. Again, this is a departure past coaching regimes. The Vols would stay indoors for practice if the temperature neared 40 degrees when Butch Jones was the coach despite his coaching past including stops at Central Michigan and Cincinnati.
Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt is old school, though, and his dad is a long-time high school coach who never had access to an indoor practice facility to use for those late-season playoff practices. Thus Pruitt had the Vols outside in the cold.”

I like.

There's an old saying in the Army: Train as you'll fight, because you'll fight like you trained. Butch letting them run for cover during practices sheds some light on why his teams were so soft

All men dream: but not equally.
Those who Dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds
Wake in the day to find that it was vanity; but the
Dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they
May act their dream with open eyes, to make it Possible.
This I did.
—T. E. Lawrence,
The Seven Pillars of Wisdom
