He's outlasted Joe Moorehead, Matt Luke, Chad Morris and Willie Taggart. Chip Kelly has been a trainwreck so far at UCLA. I believe he's done a better job than Jimbo Fisher. Billy Napier and Mario Cristobal look like damn good hires so far. I think I would put Pruitt here, as of today. Dan Mullen has won a bunch at UF, he looks like the best hire so far
This is for @chavisut Entering the 2020 season, Mullen was 21-5 as Florida's head coach. He had four wins against teams with 9 or more wins.
Pruitt has shifted the conversation from Tennessee worrying about beating vandy to competing for the east again. We're still a long shot but it's not like a few years ago where we had no business being in the conversation. Shit, we've got what an 8 game win streak right now? And recruiting is going pretty strong. Looks like Heavy knew what he was doing, he hired a football coach.
I really feel like fulmer focused on finding a football coach because he knew he could help him cover all the bullshit aspects of being a head coach in this league. Fulmer liked the kissing the babies side of the job better anyway. Just my opinion of course.
Fulmer didn't at first, but he had Dickey to cover his ass too. He wanted to be the Dickey to a good coach.
Does anyone ever get all the facts in these stories of coaches failures? All most of us hear are partial facts and speculation.
Often problems can be tracked to qb. Coaches have a qb who makes them look good? Or a qb who who loses games or misses opportunities.
Or, in Jimbo's case, a qb that felt rules didn't apply to him and he ran rampant while everyone wondered if he would ever get punished
