The next DC may not have a position, T-Rob might just coach the DBs as a whole. He's a safety by trade, and has been the DB coach at every previous stop but USM in 2009.
With the new rules now allowing analysts to coach during practices, I'm sure we can find someone to pick up any DB coaching slack. Not to mention the fact that Saban has historically spent a lot of his time with the CBs.

Coaches generally don’t give a shite about that. I’m telling you from experience. When you start coaching professionally, even at the high school level, you don’t think like a typical fan anymore.
Plus, coaching for your alma mater isn’t necessarily as great as you might think it is. What if things don’t work out, the fans trash you like they do CBO and CPG here, and you get fired? Kind of tarnishes the good memories from your youth. You think Mike Shula and Mike DuBose are as affectionate for Alabama as they used to be before becoming unsuccessful head coaches there? What about Scott Frost at Nebraska?
Fan love for coaches, even alumni, is extremely conditional. Wise coaches know this.

Pruitt cleared compliance yesterday.
I’m hearing Pruitts meeting with Saban was I need to be the guy I’m not a yes man.
Pruitt from my understanding refused the CO with Golding job.
Not saying OP is wrong that’s just what I’ve heard this morning.

Not sure what this means. But does Pruitt really not understand that he's not in a position to make demands if he wants to coach in college again?

Sounds good to me. I know last night there started to be more smoke with Schumann on other boards (although not from the staff of those boards), but I'm also definitely not doubting you. Sounds like it's either Pruitt or Schumann, and I'm definitely good with either one.

Precisely. He brings his own ideas, he doesn’t simply try to run a system he’s given. The merging of the two seems to be when things work best.
I’m fine with any of the Big 3 we’ve been discussing, but I see the merits of this aspect of Pruitt.

Pruitt’s 2016 and 2017 defense flourished because of the simplicity he brought to the Saban system. Guys played faster and got to highlight their natural athletic advantage.
I’m not sure why Saban seemed to learn nothing from those wildly successful units. We reverted back to cutesy blitzes that rarely work from 2018 to 2022.

That is exactly what we need. Bring in a proven guy to run it, get the hell out of his way and let him do it. Whether that's Schumann or Pruitt.

I wonder if Schumann would be open to coming back as Assistant Head Coach or some such title? If the money were right, is such a thing likely?

As in he can now be DC with no threat of a show cause?

Meaning if he’s not DC he’s not coming at all?

So Saban wanted to keep Golding and bring on Pruitt as well?
Just making sure I’m understanding everything.

I personally would doubt it. He's already co-DC, and Georgia will be able to pay him just as much as we will if we would also be bringing Pruitt on as DC. I think the only real lure to prying Schumann away from Georgia is by giving him complete DC control which he currently doesn't have in Athens.

Georgia has to pay him which is tough he's not making DC money I think it's 800k. They have a lot of guys who are going to want raises. How far can they stretch that pool? To keep monken they may have to pay 2.5 or 3 mil.

He obviously disagrees.

It would be tough for us too if we were to have to pay Pruitt upper tier DC money plus having to pay a new OC to leave their current job to come here. We'd be in a similar spot as UGA if Pruitt was coming here as DC. Plus again, I think for Schumann to leave he'd want to be moving up as a sole DC. Just my gut feeling.

To be honest, if the university is asking you to come, why not. If he truly has cleared compliance, the coaching community will hear it and more schools will pursue him as DC if we don't hire him.
I personally don't see BOTH Pruitt and Schumann coming in what ever capacity. I think it's one or the other as DC and that's it. Don't think the other would come for something less than DC.

That's what I liked about it. We have the best athletes. Just let them go beat their guy.

Correct me if I'm wrong but clearing our compliance office doesn't mean anything with regards to whether the NCAA is going to issue him a show cause does it? It just means they approved Saban to offer him a position right?

Schumann would only be here a year or two max before he is a head coach. Pruitt would be the DC to follow Schumann.

Yes. If he agreed to come in a support roll which doesn't sound likely given what Boz said.
