During a recent episode of McCarron’s “The Dynasty” podcast, he shared a story about Nick Saban telling Jeremy Pruitt to watch McCarron’s house to make sure the Vols didn’t try to swoop in at the last minute.

Here’s how McCarron described the day he heard Kiffin, Tennessee assistant Lance Thompson and more Vols coaches knocking on his window (via AL.com):

Coach Saban was like, ‘hey I want you to go down, AJ had said Tennessee was starting to hit him up,’” Saban told Pruitt, per McCarron. “Lance is from down there, so go down, watch (McCarron’s) house. I want to let us know if Lance is trying to back door us and steal him away.’

When Saban found out the Vols had contacted McCarron, he called Pruitt, who insisted he was sitting outside of McCarron’s house:

No the hell you’re not,” Saban said, per McCarron. “Tennessee just left.”

Pruitt said nobody’s left the house or shown up. But Pruitt decided to go check. He knocked on the door and a “little old lady” answered, per McCarron.

That’s right — Pruitt was outside “guarding” the wrong house. It turns out McCarron lived down the street.
