    Saturday was coaching malpractice, but also indicative of the festering rot left behind from the previous regime. We had been waiting on the mass exodus of Butch recruits, but we never saw one. This disastrous season will be the necessary cleansing. The most responsible course of action will be to let Pruitt ride this one out, get the young guys on the field, and get whatever recruits he possibly can.

    I'm slowly letting myself fall into this VN logic. Assuming it will fade once we get throttled by BYU.

    Inspired by the following tweets and various rumors that players are out on Pruitt.

    I'd rather lose with Pruitt's players. We need them to develop. Too many upperclassmen who aren't going to make a positive impact.

    With players being dismissed (disgruntled) we can look forward to future accusations muddying the water looking for some childish payback that the media will run with I'm sure. It should blow over in time, wins cure many things.

    Is it true that Pruitt has been ending his press conferences with "Oh well... Roll Tide!!!"

    I think that this is important, but I’d like to see this information - who is a Butch v. Pruitt player - as it relates to both the 2-deep and the number of snaps last Saturday.

    My theory is that there are more of Pruitt’s players, but we’re still more heavily reliant on Butch’s.

    Also, that first class is only somewhat ‘his guys’.

    That's the real kick in the nuts on the 25 signing rule.

    Basically keeps you from coming in and changing a culture right off the bat.

    There is only 6 players that actually give a damn from Butch's list.

    not taking up for Pruitt. They didn't prepare, watch film, anticipate or adjust. Pathetic effort. Missing our best DL, lb and db in the game showed to be a bigger problem than expected too. Shit happens though. It's how you respond. That said, none of it matters. Until JG and Kesling are gone, this is what we will be dealing with.

    He's about de-Butched the defense, the offense will be de-Butched nearly all the way by spring of 2020

    I think Jennings is a pruitt guy. hear me out: he was kicked off the team, and then brought back by Pruitt and fulmer.

    Pruitt guy. it's science.

    Butch doesn't deserve Jennings.

    I agree and Pruitt has done nothing but speak highly of him, saying he wants 11 of him
