Rhett will never be an SEC head coach. He is a system coach. Those lose games as head coaches.
Almost all defensive coaches are system coaches and very few offensive ones come out from under anyone with their own system. Coaches like Spurrier, Kelly, and Gus are a few of the exceptions. It comes down to how well you can control your team and teach them what they need to know.

Pruitt will end up a HC somewhere down the line.


I have trouble seeing Pruitt as an HC anywhere major. He seems to be a career schmoozer, which is fine because that's what he's asked to do, but I've yet to see any hint that he'd be a good head coach.

The thing about Wilson, it wouldn't be about running the O. It would be about CEO'ing the whole program, his eye for talent regarding staff hires, (recruiting he already has down). There's no way of knowing if an assistant/coordinator can do this until they are actually put into that position.

If you ever listen to the guy talk and see how the players react to him, he's definitely got HC material. It's going to be a few years, but it's hard for me to see him being a career coordinator.

Why do you always post these long arse paragraphs trying prove some stupid point, and you always have to edit.

Maybe because you keep throwing out these little stupid one line post just to tell people you despise anything to do with Gus.

Josh Henson, OC at Mizzou, will be a HC someday. And I would be shocked if Mizzou ever hired someone like Kiffin.

Kiffin has some significant bridge repair work to do, considering the ones he's burned. But he's young and success brings a lot of forgiveness.

I'd like to hear the rationale for Rhett to be considered a possible head coach. For the exception of the 1 year he barely made a dent in a D-1AA school he's been with Malzhan who runs it his way.

While you constantly bringing him up is annoying, I don't care if you don't like him or not. All the Arkansas hate in the world isn't going to change his ability to coach or anyone else's opinion of him. My post was about you saying Rhett would never be a SEC coach only because he was a system coach and Gus's yes man.

Because he is a very young guy. He is the OC of a unique O that is as successful as any O in the nation. It's an O that has so many options on every play and the O changes yearly, depending on the talent of the players. It's not an O where you must try to fit square pegs in round holes. Rhett knows that O as well as any person around.

I never said he would be or deserved to be one right now. I said that saying he could never be one just because he runs Gus's system is stupid.

Coaches get hired all the time from successful schools just because the other school wants a system like what the other one is running. Gus is known for his great offense and if some school wanted that but couldn't get Gus, Rhett would be the next one in line. A good year or two at even a bad school could have the lower SEC schools looking at him.

But typically these young assistants have had multiple stops (independent of the head coach) where they have shown success. Unless he branches out he may be a career assistant.

He's definitely ambitious, no question about that. I guess the only real way to get a grip on his potential as an HC is to see how well he develops UGA's defense. If he's the sort of builder that makes a good HC, we'll know in a few years at most.

If you think I bring up Gus you are sorely mistaken. I didn't bring him up in this thread. I responded to someone who brought up his OC. Go look at my post history Jr. You will be hard pressed to find anywhere I brought up Gus. Plus , I know you care. You don'thave to post it to prove me rright.

The thing is, he doesn't even run it. Gus does.
