SEC Country: 5 SEC assistants who could be head coaching candidates after 2017
Jeremy Pruitt, Alabama defensive coordinator
Matt Canada, LSU offensive coordinator
Dave Aranda, LSU defensive coordinator
Larry Scott, Tennessee offensive coordinator
Chip Lindsey, Auburn offensive coordinator
Jeremy Pruitt, Alabama defensive coordinator
quote:
In his last three coaching stops, Pruitt has overseen some of the best defenses in the country. His 2013 Florida State defense gave up just 12.1 points per game, tops in the country. His second year at Georgia, the Bulldogs had a top-10 unit in pass defense and total defense. And last year’s Alabama defense may have been the best of the Nick Saban era.
Matt Canada, LSU offensive coordinator
quote:
His resume isn’t perfect. He’s barely a year removed from getting fired at N.C. State after the 2015 season. Teams will need more evidence than one good year at Pitt to be willing to hand him control of an entire program. However, if LSU makes major progress on offense in 2017, Group of 5 programs could be lining up to interview him at the end of the year.
Dave Aranda, LSU defensive coordinator
quote:
Aranda took one of the nation’s best defenses and made it even better in 2016. At 40 years old, he could be the face of a program for a long time. It’s just a matter of who comes calling and whether he listens to those overtures. Next offseason will reveal a lot about how high his stock is, and what his long-term ambitions are.
Larry Scott, Tennessee offensive coordinator
quote:
Scott already has head coaching experience. He was 4-2 as the interim boss at Miami (Fla.) in 2015, and he was reportedly up for the FAU job this offseason. Most of his coaching experience is in Florida, and he has good recruiting connections in the state. One of the smaller programs in the state could be very interested if an opening arises. But he would need Lane Kiffin (FAU), Butch Davis (FIU), Charlie Strong (USF) or Scott Frost (UCF) to bolt for another job first.
Chip Lindsey, Auburn offensive coordinator
quote:
He was an analyst for the Tigers when they went to the national championship in 2013. Four years later, he’s running the team’s offense. He already appears to be getting more influence over the offense than Lashlee ever did. Should the Tigers get back on track offensively in 2017, he’ll be a very attractive candidate to programs looking for an offensive-minded head coach.

I could see all of those.
I think Pruitt is really hungry for an HC position.
Aranda certainly is going to be wanted by a lot of teams.
If the Auburn offense does well, I would not be shocked at all to see him get an offer--- but not at the level of the first two.

At the moment I think he probably has the best chance on this list

So lOl will be fired in two seasons.

I think Pruitt has a good shot. He was successful as DC at three major colleges.

Is that McQueen in Papillon in your avatar?

Yeah. I recently read the book and was inspired.

Yeah, he's one of my favorite actors of all time. Died too young.
The Man and Le Mans is a great documentary about him.

Pruitt is a long way from being ready for HC job. It was just a few short years ago that he was HS assistant.
