He was Alabama's DB coach all of two years. And the DC at FSU all of one season. But yeah, it's the lack of his presence that led to a drop off. It could never be losing great players off of title teams. And of course neither had great defenses before Pruitt.


Bama always has 5 star talent all over the field.

FSU lost more players to the NFL before 2013 than they did before 2014. The opposite would need to be true for your point to have merit.

I can't believe you actually think that Pruitt was the reason for our great DB play during the title years. That is hilariously delusional. Last year we had two CBs coming off/suffering through injuries, but I guess if Pruitt were here they'd magically have been healed. During the title years we had starters who were high draft picks, but I guess that is because of Pruitt, too.

Interesting that the same Pruitt who can transform teams cannot stop a struggling UF from running all over his defense. What happened that game? Did Pruitt forget how to coach?

This is a lazy answer. Yes, Alabama recruits very well. But there are key misses in recruiting from 2011-2013 that hit the secondary hard. Guys that didn't pan out and others that didn't develop as expected. That's why the secondary, while loaded with five stars now, is very young.
