LSU fans, if Coach O gets the boot, would y'all be interested in Jeremy Pruitt?

Stud DC. Future stud HC IMO. Why not Pruitt? I may have missed it but I haven't seen him as a potential candidate.

Coach O isn't going anywhere, unfortunately. But I like Pruitt. I don't know much about him though beyond his time at FSU and his year and a half at Bama.

He did a pretty good job when he was here as well. I think he would be a homerun. And he is a great recruiter

Was a walk-on DB at BAMA. Coached at Hoover High and BAMA early on.

If Alleva tried to walk into Pruitt's film room, he'd beat the shite out of him, throw him in the trunk, drive to nearest Sonic, drag him out, and beat the shite out of him again.
I'm only half-kidding.

Does anyone else remember when Pruitt drove to Richt's house and bucked up on him over an argument with the OC?
Pruitt isn't stable enough to be a HC but is good DC.

Don't know if that dude can handle the microscope of being a big time sec coach. Hopefully he's made some changes in his personal
life in the last few years.

Pruitt also got us an IPF.

In fairness Pruitt is single handedly responsible for UGA having IPF now.

He'd have a John L. moment in his first season.

news flash ! Coach O ain't going nowhere.

Big O has 12 million reasons to not go anywhere. Alleva doesn't have the balls to admit he fricked up. LSU is stuck for at least another season, maybe two.

So you're saying he wouldn't drive him to Sonic?

LSU won't take Pruitt.
They play Florida every year.
Who knew 3 plays with an awful quarterback could be so dominant.
If they had any other cross-divisional rival.... maybe.

I'm thinking about this more, Pruitt would definitely be an upgrade over O.
He's a better defensive coach, a great recruiter, and a better snake oil salesman. With a hotshot OC, LSU could be very successful with Pruitt.
But he's sabanesque in that the AD can basically frick off, and he has no problem making issues public and calling you out to the media, because he holds the buyout, and he doesn't give a shite about public image, other than what recruits think.
He is a true a-hole. He's a younger, more hard-headed, more experienced and more decorated Nick Saban.
Difficult to work with, dictator-style, a-hole, rubs people the wrong way, but gets results. Sound familiar?
LSU should move on this.
SOMEBODY will hire Pruitt as a head coach, soon.
It will happen.
Is LSU going to let this opportunity slip away?
He has worked closely with Saban as both assistant and DC.
He has worked closely with Jimbo as DC.
He has worked closely with Richt as DC.
Lights out recruiter.
Is Alleva capable of making a good hire, and stepping back?
Or is Alleva going down with the ship? Alleva doesn't strike me as the kind of man that goes down with the ship.
I think Pruitt is LSU's next head coach.
I'm glad OP made this thread. The more I think about it, the more it makes sense.

Decent coach, I'm not a fan of coordinator to HC though... the established programs can get a HC that has shown success as a HC, no need to take the risk of a coordinator.
Coordinators certainly could make good HCs, plenty of examples, but it's a risk and an entirely different animal than being a HC. Not a risk that one has to take, so why take it?

Because what are your alternatives right now?

I don't think it's really any more of a risk than hiring a smaller school, up and coming HC. Major programs are a totally different deal than group of 5 schools. The success rate of those coaches isn't markedly better than major program coordinators, at least anecdotally.
Jeremy Pruitt is a risk because he's Jeremy Pruitt, not because he's a coordinator.

After Carolina struck out on German and Smart, the idea of Pruitt was floated for a few days. Kind of a nut, and similar to Bud Foster or Mickey Andrews in that DC was the likely terminus for his career. The general consensus was that Pruitt didn't have the demeanor to be a HC.
So we hired another guy who has proven not to have the demeanor to be HC.
