How do you guys feel about Mr. Pruitt and his potential as a head coach one day? I know when he went to UGA he was being viewed a potential big time coach one day. Really surprised USCe didn't choose him over Muschamp.

He comes across way too dumb to ever be a big time college football coach.

Pruitt was the man who pushed Richt to hire Rob Sale (OL coach) and Mark Hocke (S&C coach) last year. They were both complete failures, so I would question Pruitt's decision making on coaching hires.

I am not, not at all
Pruitt is a loose cannon
YES - I was ready for a change & glad we replaced Richt
BUT; he undermined Richt during the season
he left FSU after a very short stint
the guy is an arse & is not a leader, or rather, he has no business being "the guy"

I have a lot of respect for his coaching and recruiting abilities. Yeah, he will be a head coach at some point. And sooner rather than later, imo.

HC? I don't know...tough to say really. But he's an oustanding DC that's for sure.
I'm sure bowl will be here any minute to tell you how much he hates the guy, also did you know they were at hoover at the same time?

He can be pretty abrasive with the rest of the staff. He did a great job as DC, but I'm not sure hwo that would translate as a HC. Gut feeling is he would struggle. He would be very difficult to work with and/or for.

The guy knows football and recruits his arse off.
Not sure I'd want him being the face of my program though, PR wise. At least not until he's a little more seasoned.

Never liked him when he was at Alabama before, or at FSU, or Ga. One reason is he recruits complete thugs of questionable character wherever he goes. The famous Alabama foursome who assaulted those students etc., were ALL recruited by Pruitt. Same thing at FSU. And then he had problems at Ga.
He was a high school coach known for chasing wool, and that continued through his career. Frankly he reminded me of Barry Switzer, no moral compass. Plus he thinks a bit to highly of himself and seems to cause internal descension within an organization. The reason is his unbridled ego and desire to promote himself regardless of team dynamics. In short I never thought of him as a good team player. He was on the cusp of being fired at Ga when Saban threw him a life line.
I was not pleased when he was hired this time...but maybe I'm wrong and old fashioned. Personally I would not want him to be the face of my major college football program.

He's played and coached at Alabama. If he was to get a major head coaching job and have success, he would be a prime candidate at UA one day.

This will be the GOAT coaching changes board season

Maybe at Hoover, AL (Hoover High School)

He can be a good assistant, but I wouldn't want him as the face of my program.

He's a dickhead who's a great coach. I'm not sure he'll be a good head coach because of his personality. He'll stab the wrong person in the back at some point.

If you ask me, I think he's one of the best DC's in the country and he's a great recruiter/evaluator. That being said, he needs to be handled by a strict HC who commands respect, such as Saban. Richt couldn't control him and he rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. I do not know how he would do as a HC, but I would not risk hiring if I was a P5 school until he had cut his teeth elsewhere.
