According to Swain, Tennessee now leads for To'oto'o. One of the biggest reasons, according to Price, is Pruitt and company showed him video of Mack Wilson in 2017 while being coached by Pruitt and then 2018 video of Mack Wilson under Alabama's current staff. That's swinging a big stick there
How I imagine the meeting went: Pruitt: This is you coached by us: Badass alpha wolf aightn't takin no gruff from nobody nohow. This is you coached by TSDS: Dumbass look on your face aight? Even the damn worthless lapdog has stock written across it.
Helicopter Richard. Watch out Saban... you’re short enough that mofo might knock you out swingin’ around like it’s doing.
They used videos of guys going through spring practice from day one to the end as recruiting tools too for the 2019 class. I thought that was pretty badass too. "Look how much better Butch's recruits look with a little bit of coaching, imagine coming here and getting 4 years' worth"
I bet, on a certain level, Saban appreciates and respects Pruitt’s cojones and lack of give a damn here... Pruitt seems to have all the swagger of Kiffin but without the yapping. He’s low key sticking it to the rest of the SEC right now and for a program that hasn’t been appreciably better than a .500 club the past several years, that’s ballsy. I like it.
He was pretty shitty all year with his run fits and got lost in coverage on slots and TEs over and over again against Clemson.
He's much drier than Kiffin, which I appreciate... But I do like me some good Kiffin yapping from time to time.
