I’m not so sure. I thought he was an upgrade over Kirby as far as defensive scheming and play calling goes. I think Kirby and Pruitt are both better than Golding.

I think he was a very good DC and I loved his aggressive schemes. No one here thought he was ready to be head coach at an SEC school.

I'm not an insider or anything but from the few I do know around the program coach Saban loves Jeremy Pruitt. He's a fantastic defensive coordinator and position coach.

In the post spread era Pruitt’s “If you ain’t first you're last” approach to defense and use of smaller, faster players is more productive than Kirby.

I’m not sure Pruitt was as good at talent identification or development compared to Smart however.
