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.

Did Pruitt recruit Cam Robinson and not suspend him to? The dude who was caught red handed with drugs and a stolen gun.

Who did he recruit to FSU that was a thug? I only remember him bringing in Demarcus Walker and I think Jalen Ramsey.

This is a pretty stupid statement to make in support of your case. Of course he was on the cusp of being fired at UGA when Saban hired him. You may have missed it, but Mark Richt got fired, and when that happens the assistants get released too.

Saban hired him immediately because had he waited, Pruitt would have been working somewhere else in rapid fashion.
