re: Pruitt has told people that he will be the next DC at Alabama.

They just hit x Bama coach Mark Gottfried with a three year show cause 2 weeks ago.

My point was that if Alabama simply hires Pruitt before the NCAA can levy sanctions on the Tennessee hatchet job, the NCAA will not show-cause him because they don't want to fight blue blood schools and major conferences too much right now. The NCAA is trying to thread the needle such that they're still around in a meaningful capacity in a decade. They're not going to poke the bear.

With that in mind, Gottfried is expired as relevant coaching talent and was jobless at any rate.
