    Not sure.

    The biggest difference here is with Dooley and Butch, the feeling was they would both fail.

    With this guy, I think it's a wait and see. He may or may not succeed. I don't think there's anyway to know this point.

    It’s a typical Tennessee hire

    After a little homework I think Pruitt is a home run. He's exactly what we need.

    Utterly stupid and underwhelming.

    He's much better hire than Dooley and Butch.

    Will he win big? Idk.

    But we should have a good defense and awesome recruiting.

    Nah, he'll definitely fail.

    He’s a great DC. Not sure how we know if he’s a home run.

    If history is any indication, he won't beat Alabama. None of Saban's assistants do.

    It depends on his staff. If he raids Bama, UGA and Auburn, like he's selling, yeah, he'll win here.

    If he's full of shit on that, he's screwed

    Not a huge fan. Bammer thru and thru, first strike.

    Second strike is all his good stats and shit as a DC have come on a team with elite talent. Not convinced he can recruit that well or make a not elite defense work.

    He might work out. But the whole point of this coaching search was to hire some one you know, or have very high confidence in, of them working out and winning big.

    This is just another Saban disciple middling low money (that we will over pay) hire. Barf. That is a bammer on top of it. Double barf. And IF he is very successful, he's going to Bama when Saban leaves.

    [uck fay] everything.

    Had he been a HC before with a losing record I'd agree. Just don't think there's anyway to know at this point for sure.

    Yep. I have concerns with Pruitt, but I can talk myself into him being successful in a way I couldn’t with Butch or Dooley. He’s not a great hire, but he’s not a doomed hire either. Still would’ve taken Brohm over him in a heartbeat, and probably Leach too
