Jeremy Pruitt at UGA:

"His 2014 defensive unit finished 17th nationally in total defense, and finished in the top ten in turnover margin and passing yards allowed. Pruitt's 2015 unit at Georgia finished the season ranked seventh nationally in total defense, and led the nation in fewest passing yards allowed per game."

In 2015, he was coaching across from, possibly, the worst hire of Mark Richt's tenure. I say possibly, but Brian Schottenheimer was fricking garbage.

Pruitt took over a defense that Grantham had left in shambles in 2014. He improved that squad by leaps and bounds over the previous season. Chicken shite to chicken salad.

He's boarderline special needs

I've acknowledged this, which is why I qualified my comment with "if", but you knew that.

I suspect that some here may hold a deep grudge against Pruitt for how he bucked against Richt.

frick, man, somebody needed to.

I stand by the quoted comment.

Grantham still better. Unless you want to compare a guy's best year against another guy's worst year, which is what we call cheery [sic] picking.

Check Pruitts stats vs ranked opponents.
He basically played the world's softest schedule in 2015. 10 win season and all of them were arse.

Pass numbers always look great for a defense that can't stop the run (and a defense that plays against gus malzahn, Paul Johnson, and Georgia southern in the same year).
