Where is this talk that he isn't going to do anything coming from? "NCAA rules allow bowl teams to practice or hold other athletic activities up to four hours per day or 20 hours per week between the end of the regular season and a bowl game. While coaches often refer to the "15 extra practices" that come with a bowl invitation, there is no specific limit to the number of practices a team can hold during bowl preparation." That's plenty of time to do the other stuff for UT.
I imagine he'll be spending a fair amount of time prepping, game planning, etc. in addition to the 20 hours of practice time per week, no? It's time that should be spent focused on Tennessee, not Alabama.
You know they love it in that shitty state. I would, if the head coach of ala[uck fay]ingbama was working on helping tennessee win a national championship.
Nobody said any of that crap. The OC job at SC sucked this season. You can convince yourself otherwise, but it why they are watching the playoffs. He might be a great hire. That doesn’t change the shitty fashion in which this was done nor does it change that the outcome was worse than each of our peers in the market, given what we know now about the choices. That’s not dooming UT. That’s damning the idiots running this.
And help widen the gap between the programs by aiding in another title? By better teaching AL players? At this point, hurting AL is the only option.
Well, ask yourself why the guy took a lateral (at best) move to UGa after winning a title at DC for FSU. Then why did Richt want him out at UGA? This story doesn’t have a pretty end.
I admit it was hyperbolic, but so is poopooing these hires right off the bat when they've shown some success.
No it isn’t. He might be a good hire. The people and process that got us here was crap. I know very well a former SEC DC. I don’t at all like what he knows.
About these staff members or what went on in this search? And good luck finding someone to argue this wasn't the biggest cluster of a search ever seen in college football.
Pruitt? How many coaches get head gigs at a big school before the age of 40? And with only 1 year as DC. He would have been 39.
