This guy would be lethal with a good OC I think. His defenses have been great at all stops.

Same as Kirby smart

I actually think he'd be a good one. Great recruiter. Great defenses.

Pruitt didn't spend a majority of his career hiding behind Saban.

Kirby is not even close to Pruitt in terms of defensive coaching

Maybe. He's never coached any offensive position in his career and you really need a good all-around coach these days in college.

He goes one more year at UA's DC then takes a mid tier P5 gig and produces bigly.
I would never want him as HC of Alabama but I think he'll be successful when he does get the top spot.

He was real personable at Hoover. Not sure how he has approached the college game.

I guess Alabama should fire Saban then...

Little early to judge Smart, isn't it?

They're both only as good as the talent they have to work with.
Pruitt has had loaded, elite defenses at FSU and Bama that were coached up before taking over. He did a good job at UGA, but those units were never elite or consistent.

He doesn't have what it takes to run an entire program. I honestly don't think he'd make a good HC at the HS level, and that's from somebody who's been around him when he was still at the HS level.
Even if he did land an easy job and managed early succes, I can't see him sustaining it. His personality has lead to scandals being swept under the rug, and burning bridges and leaving with serious bad blood at Hoover, FSU, and UGA.
Honestly, I'm not even sold that he is an elite DC. Just look at the jobs he's had:
-Hoover HS, under Rush Probst with probably the most loaded defense in state history.
-Bama, DB coach under Saban who specializes in DBs
-FSU, loaded defense fil of 1st rounders
-UGA, inherited a loaded defense but left them depleted
-Bama, under Saban. Nuff said
Anybody on this board could have fielded stout defenses with the resources he's had.

It's hard to be exclusively a defensive coach in football these days. It's obvious that Saban has learned about offensive play from his many stops. Kiffin isn't the mastermind that everyone gives him credit for being.
Realistically, you'd have to explore Pruitt's knowledge offensively and defensively. And even then, does he have the stuff to manage a program?

Gotta learn his vegetables first. Guy is Yaw Yaw Jr

Zero. Dude's WAAAY too big a hothead. Rumored that he got into several fights with other coaches while at Georgia.

His defense had a great day yesterday...
quote:
The Alabama defense led the way as it has most of the season with another tremendous showing, limiting the Tigers' offense to 182 total yards of offense. Auburn, which entered the game fifth in the nation in rushing offense at 297 yards per game, could only manage 66 rushing yards on the top-ranked Alabama run defense.
66 rushing yards

Give me a friggin' break. Pruitt is a hot-headed idiot who doesn't have the personality or temperament to be a head coach. He practically caused a mutiny at UGA according to Tracy Rocker.

He's a great DC and that's about it. Unless paired with a school and AD that is willing to bend over for him, he will burn more bridges as a HC than he will build; dude is not the diplomatic type.

Not everybody wants to be a HC.
