Emmanuel has added some bulk. And runs like a gazelle, always loved his attitude. Hope he a good season.

get pruitt back here as an analyst and pay him like a coach

My understanding is that guy is completely blackballed from CFB in any role for close to a decade.

Whoever he pissed off at the NCAA they got after him like an angry ex wife in a divorce settlement.

Fulmer screwed him over like he did Ronnie Cottrell and Dubose back in the day. Not saying that Pruitt is totally clean but he should have known better when he took the Tennessee job and Fulmer was their AD.

Yup, one of the dumbest career moves of all time. He was well on his way to being the next Kirby Smart but he couldn't wait for it. He ate the fruit from the forbidden tree.

That’s correct. He is untouchable right now.

Yep. I know Pruitt is kind of an idiot savant, but the man is a Gump from a Gump family and still went to work for Fulmer. It never made sense. Seriously one of the dumbest career moves ever made.

That Bama ship has sailed for Pruitt. I don’t think Byrne will allow it to happen now that Saban is retired

His show cause was 6 years, which expires in June, 2029.

The kicker is that he has an additional measure that suspends him from ALL activities for the first year of employment if hired into an Athletics related function.

So, unless a school wants to dole out a free annual salary before then assuming risk of his association with any future violations while on staff until 2029, he's toxic.

just sue them. They are losing every case, and the stuff he did that got him punished is happening out in the open at every program in the country

This. Punishing someone for something that is essentially fully legal today is asinine and proves nothing

This video right here is enough to settle the white helmet debate. It would look so bad.

It’s exciting to see the ball snapped correctly, but it also feels “different” not seeing the ball snapped to Milroe’s ankles or 5 feet over his head.

What's milro going to do with all that extra time he used to use just finding the errant snap.

I know it’s not the same as actual game time but…

I know we always say, “run the ball!”, but I think we really need to. Defenses are not built to stop a power running game anymore. LB’s are faster, but smaller and there seems to be a dearth of dominant DL’s lately. Some D1 school is going to commit to it and then the pendulum will swing back. Football is faddish and a copycat sport. I would like for us to start the trend. Physical running was the key to beating UGA last year. If it works against that D, it will work against any team, in any weather and it will travel.

The second pass in that clip could get a slot receiver killed by the MLB.

Sorry, I still would like to see the white helmets from time to time.

If what he did was so bad why wasn't the school punished more harshly? It doesn't make sense to me
