Wouldn’t Saban immediately promote Tosh?

Some of them also think Cochran would go with Pruitt.


If Cochran didn't go with Smart, no way he'd go with Pruitt.

Definitely not, Smart is one of his closest friends and he chose the outrageous salary over him.

Would be interesting to see with DC, would Saban give Tosh the title outright or hire another Co-DC? Or just hire an ILB Coach?

Vol buddy just texted me saying they are hiring Pruitt as well.

Hard to take them serious though

If you're going to hire a coordinator, why not hire Steele who has experience as a HC?

Probably not hiring Steele BECAUSE of his experience as a head coach. It wasn't pretty at Baylor. Hard selling 9-36 to a fan base.

They can have Pruitt.

They aren't getting Tosh though.

Here’s their wish list:

quote:

OC- Tee Martin (Tennessee connection) QB- Randy Sanders (FSU connection) RB- Jay Graham (FSU connection) WR- Jimmie Doughtery (former UCLA/Washington wide receivers coach) TE/ST- John Lilly (Georgia connection) OL- Mario Cristobal (Alabama connection) DC- Marion Hobby (Tennessee connection) DL- Chris Rumph (Alabama connection) AHC/LB- Tosh Lupoi (Alabama connection) DB- Terry Fair (Tennessee connection


I would be surprised if they hire JP, and I’d be shocked id he got assistants from Bama to make a lateral move (not even) to UT.

Steele, and the Ga DC have already had 2 interviews. Phil Savage said he thinks it will be someone that will listen to Fulmer and let Fulmer mentor the head coach. Not sure that Pruitt would allow someone to tell him what to do. He is too head strong. Tee Martin would be perfect if Fulmer wants to control the head coach.

Their strategy, along with Auburn's, is to gut Bama's coaching staff

Must be.

Teams have been trying it for years.

Welp, they seem to be down to a choice of the only two willing take the the job, Pruitt & Tucker.

GMAC was just on wjox, and he thinks it will be Kevin Steele with T Martin OC. (maybe T Martin coach in waiting in Fulmers mind).

The last thing we really need is another coach to leave...especially in this recruiting year

If the Vols hire Pruitt, it will be a mistake. I really don't believe he is ready for a big job like that. This will be a disaster for them. I'm shocked
