Dude is a top 10 recruiter in the Southeast region of the US. 3 Rings. 4 years Under Saban, 1 Ring as D.C. At FSU, 2 Rings as secondary coach at Bama.

Dude has Head coach written all over him. Players love him. He's only 43. Ole Miss is in the middle of a shite storm, no high profile coach will want to take over there.

Take a shot on the young gun with limitless potential while your program is in turmoil. Worst case scenario, he adds a couple top 20 recruiting classes for the next head coach 3 years down the road. Best case scenario he's a great head coach. What does Ole Miss really have to lose?

And again I will ask,

Why would he want this job? He can wait and be a head coach at a place where he actually has a chance.

Not the real question. The question is "What does the head coach hired at Ole Miss have to lose?"

Not a smart career move for Pruitt.

He's not going to do that with only 15 scholarships to hand out

Why would any decent coach go to a school that has sanctions currently and even more on the horizon?

Plus their administration is clearly a shite show and grossly incompetent. Even if the NCAA does nothing else, who wants to work for Bjork after all this mess? Oh and Nutt still has a lawsuit against them.

Ole Miss isn't the easiest place to win, either. OM has been cheating their asses off and Freeze finished with a record of 1-3 vs Bielema including a 30-0 beatdown.

That's my deal. Why go to a place where you can't win and the boosters appear to be more out of control than any other SEC School. I do agree that they have money, but that's not going to get an established guy.

He will have Power 5 job offers from all over, much like Kirby Smart did. Why in the world would he choose to go to Ole Miss under those circumstances?

Pruitt did it at FSU and Georgia as well. He's proven he can field a defense on his own.

He was solid on MTV's Two-A-Days.

5 year contract 4.5 million per guaranteed..Rebs will have to offer something like that and I don't see a lot of young coaches turning it down. If it doesn't work out for them they can always say it was impossible to begin with and walk away loaded..

Don't get your hopes up on something like that happening. I expect the hire to be similar to Bama's hiring of Mike Shula. Someone "safe" who you can get on the cheap to make it through some tough years without screwing up worse - and then throw big money at the next guy once the sanctions are lifted.

Did you see the defensive talent he had at FSU?

That wasn't the point anyway. Pruitt may be awesome but Alabama doesn't need him at all.

He would fit in perfect with the current culture there

... well he certainly knows where the dead bodies are buried.

However, they'd be better off nabbing Saban for twenty-five a year. He'd tell the NCAA to f'OFF because we know about programs everywhere, the REC lawyers would follow suit to save muh-championships, then OM could get back to business as usual. And Nick, he'd achieve immortality every where, with one just Christian sacrificed to the cause of Reb football.

Coaches who are serious about their careers aren't going to want their names affiliated with Ole Miss, regardless of salary.

This is one of the many reasons why beating Bama twice and going to the Sugar Bowl are comical reasons for justifying what's happened.

They'll have to find a coach who's in the twilight of his career who (a) can be convinced to move to that state, and (b) is willing to take punch upon punch to the chin, with zero opportunity to swing back.

Ole Miss is going to be horrible for the next 4-6 years. Whoever goes there may never be a HC again. Think Mike Shula at Alabama 2003-2006. This will be a career killer. Heck, USC hasn't fully recovered from their sanctions and it's been how many years and coaches later?
