I wouldn't automatically hand the team over to Pruitt but I like what he's done so far with his time here.

Like it or not, Kirby Smart would be on that list as well.

I think #1-#3 are unrealistic. Fuentes and Hermann will get scooped up before UGA has the balls to make move.

The wildcard IMO is Houston Texans HC, Bill O’Brien. He is in a no-win situation at the current moment, no franchise QB. He spent 7 years as an assistant at GA Tech, so he understands the State of Georgia expectations. Certainly a long shot

Yeah 1-3 seem like unrealistic gets. I like Fuentes and would be willing to roll the dice with Kirby. What about Fedora or Mark Stoops?

I'm going to respectfully disagree. I don't get the Kirby Smart love. He's not the type of guy you hire after firing a coach that's been there for 15 years. He needs to prove himself at a smaller school before he can be remotely considered a candidate at UGA.

Again, I hate using the liberal agenda "Forward" but he would not be moving forward. Get a college guy with some creativity. Put him to work with the talent that's in place at this time and UGA would be a NC contender.

Everyone said the same thing about CJP. Why would he leave all that talent in Tallahassee to come to Athens? There's no way that guy would ever consider UGA and the SEC when he can win the ACC year in and out... Remember? UGA is a BRAND. Bigger than TCU, Stanford, and Baylor. I absolutely believe one if not all those coaches would come to UGA. You guys gotta stop thinking like this. This is part of the problem.

It won't be stupid when the time comes for him to step down or be fired. It's gonna happen Spiff. You need to prepare yourself bud.

I think Bob Stoops would listen. Oklahoma and Stoops seem to have had a good long marriage and both wouldn't fight too hard to stay together.

I think Fedora would be a solid hire. At face value, he wouldn’t set the world on fire per se, but he has changed the landscape at UNC.

Umm... No. Sorry, I can't add him to the list. He's a guy that refuses run one of the most talented RB's in the nation in Elijah Hood.
