The college football landscape is full of coaches that were very good assistants and good recruiters that failed as a head coach. As previously noted, Pruitt has never been a head coach anywhere. Odds are against being successful in your first ever head coaching position when you're doing it in the SEC. Looks like Kirby may be one of the exceptions, but I am pretty sure he never worked high school at all but went directly into the college coaching ranks.

True. Kirby also has a few key advantages. He worked a long time under Saban, learned "The Process" well and is striving to duplicate it. He inherited a loaded roster and pretty good recruiting class at a program that was already doing pretty well. GA produces 40+ 4-5* HS players per year and GT is no threat to get them. The other big SEC East programs (UF, UT, SC) were "down" when Kirby went to UGA.

He is probably just a fallback guy. In case we have spots open.

Prattville area baws, it looks like we may have a kid in our backyard that's about to burst on the scene:



John Garcia says he worked out for Troy yesterday and they offered him on the spot.

ETA: Next year's in-state OL class may be the best of all time with Quick, Webb, Kight and now this kid joining the mix.

I don't listen to country music so I didn't know there was an actual singer named Clay Walker out there.

From that KK guy on the Auburn board regarding Malik Langham:

quote:

So, got my wires crossed slightly on Langham info from the other day. 

Apparently HIS HC is a huge Arkansas fan. The guy who I got the info from is the HC at another school in Huntsville but is very close with the other coach and Langham. 

Langham's coach has tried to sway him away from Bama saying things like "you're not a good fit there" and it worked the opposite way. It motivated Malik to want to earn an offer from Bama. Weird, I know.


frick that coach.

No clue.

But how crazy is it that the state of Alabama has two 6'7" OTs in the Class of 2019 less than 75 miles apart?

Hell, add in Pierce Quick and we've got three OTs next year above 6'6" within a 90 mile radius.

How is he not a good fit? The big athletic guys thrive for us on defense. They all go to the NFL too. Can any of you guys remember a 3-4 end that we had that didn't at least make it to the NFL? They may not produce but all you can ask for is the chance.

He doesn't fit because his coach is an Arkansas fan who doesn't want to see him at Alabama.
