...Also what about Pruitt to Bama Golding to Texas and be done with it...

Yup- Isn’t this pretty much what the TFB “weird ass update” was saying?

Which combination is better?

 

Pruitt/Anslay

Golding/Scott

 

Fuck Saban, get the best!

Pruitt/Raymond

Pruitt for sure he is one of the best defensive minds of the last 10 years he has multiple top 5 defenses at multiple schools. Dude is a bonafide stud

In my opinion it’s Golding/Scott.  You could call Scott and Ansley a draw (I would guess.  Idk for sure) and Pruitt is a better DC but with the idea of the show cause following him plus the way Golding called 2 playoff games, I’d take Golding/Scott

I haven’t seen anything from Tennessee recently that would make me think

You have to think the Pruitt domino is the thing that gets this moving now. 

That has to be the reason for the delay.  I'm fine with any of Golding, Pruitt or Arnett

Tennessee notwithstanding.

If Pruitt is being fired for cause then there is no touching him as a coach right now... as an analyst is a maybe, but if Tenn has enough to fire him for cause, then the NCAA has to look and he will be tainted for a few years till it all sorts out.

When would Pruitt and assistants know what their penalties are?

Sure feels like the domino that gets things moving although people may need clarity on the penalty. If the penalty isn't bad, Pruitt becomes a top target for LSU, us, and I guess Bama.

Also some interesting assistants on that staff that could be available as analysts or for the last D spot.

This is pure speculation but I think Pruitt is the least likely of the three for us to hire. 

Just now, David Dennison said:

I get that but if Pruitt were to call Saban right now and tell him he wants in Saban would move mountains to bring him in. He had a bad run at Tennessee but he is well respected in the industry. If we would've been excited for muschamp we should be doing cartwheels for Pruitt, he is the real deal.

There’s noise on various other SEC boards that a bomb is about to drop at Tennessee. This would be about the 5th time in the last few weeks that said bomb were dropping. It’s a stubborn bomb.  

Sources say the bomb has been in negotiations with school administration for weeks. The hangup is that the bomb refuses to land in Knoxville.

LSU is focusing on that Nielsen kid. If Pruitt is hirable after today, Bama will go after him hard. If he goes to Bama we'll probably get Golding and that will be the end of it.

Saban can get away with taking a flyer on Pruitt. Shit goes wrong, he's still Nick Saban and Alabama won't hold him accountable. I don't see Sark taking that same risk his first year here with people still questioning his character (right or wrong). Golding/Scott is much more likely if this was what we were waiting on.

Not to go full Katfid or anything, but have you guys noticed how similar Jeremy Pruitt and Bill O'Brien look?  Would be wild for them both to be on Bama's sideline next year:

Yeah that'd make it tough for a new coach like Sark. Saban could probably pull it off. And it's not like anyone is talking about hiring him as an HC, just DC where he presumably wouldn't have the power to repeat his infractions. No idea what the precedent is for situations like this.

So would we melt if it was the Ansley and Stoops as the LB coach? What about Ansley and Co-DC Lupoi?

Lupoi at Co-DC would make it better for sure.

Pruitt may have to take some off the field role like "special assistant to Saban"  (similar to Butch Jones' role at Bama)

Shelton Felton?  His parents must've hated him. That's not a bad looking staff though.

That staff, with all of the overt cheating, couldn’t win shit.  Even with bama every year along with Georgia and Florida, they still got vandy, scar, Kentucky, and Missouri every season. 

If Arnett was the guy, it would have been done days ago. Likely same for Odom although he doesn't seem as hungry to leave so may take more time.

Makes me think Golding or Pruitt have to be the real targets

Tail No. isn’t shown on FlightAware but confirmed it is N424FX. Owned by a group that includes Group 1 Auto out of Houston, and a John Walter that looks to live in Dallas and have contributed a substantial amount to UT Southwestern. That said, it’s a Flexjet so who knows. 

So it's it worth taking Pruitt, and let him turn us into a top tier defense, even if he can't go out and recruit? We've built a great, recruiting, coaching staff so maybe it doesn't hurt too much. Especially if we also get Lupoi.

I don't see how this is a domino if it's for cause. How is Bama going to hire him if they supposedly weren't allowed to hire Bo Davis?

I dont get why everyone assumes Scott is coming. That would make Gideon the odd man out unless Banks doesn't touch special teams, and Sark wouldn't do that to an alum out of the gate when he is trying to build support within the program.

I wonder if Golding-Lupoi would be an option.

There’s a third option out there, but I’ve been sworn to secrecy on him (or her!). If someone not named Golding or Pruitt are hired, I’ll let you know if it is this person. 

The LB Coach at Tennessee (Neidermeyer?) is supposedly one of the best coaches/recruiters on that staff.

Yea that was just assuming Pruitt brought Ansley to Bama. Gideon is going to be shifted and will probably have an assitant-*insert position* coach role regardless.

Is Ansley good enough for our DC job?

Probably the same question that you get from Lanning or even Golding of is it his D or is it the HCs. That being said if I remember correctly he is a hell of a CB coach and is a good recruiter

I'd tap the brakes on all the Pruitt speculation. There is a good chance Pruitt ends up coaching in the Italian league.

that last line basically means he doesn't know shit

new girl i give up GIF

also, not following what has been happening in Tennessee? so either he is not great at his job, doesn't care about CFB or is so busy in January that he doesn't have time to follow it?

meanwhile all these folks at surly that are paid exactly $0 are following it closer than he is?

i mean, really. this is an even worse poste/update than that TFB one that CTJ trashed earlier this morning.

edit: seriously, imagine writing out "this post is as much speculation as it is well-informed" and clicking submit on that post.

ESPN saying Fulmer is retiring as well.  Makes me think it’s deeper shit than we realize. 

Such a shame. There goes Fulmer’s chance to take over as coach and win a repeat Fulmer Cup award. He would have been the favorite. 

HC - Sark

OC/OL - Flood

QB - Milwee

RB - Drayton

WR - Coleman

TE/ST - Banks

DC/LB - Golding

DL - Davis

S - Joseph

CB - Scott

Defensive assistant/ST - Gideon

 

Recruiting - Carrington

Player Personel - Hughes

S&C - Becton

SIAP, but say we did hire Pruitt and he eventually gets hit with a show cause, what exactly would that mean?  We have to let him go?  Can't recruit?

We’d likely let him go when the show cause came down due to the restrictions on Pruitt, and it’s possible but not likely the NCAA could penalize us if we kept him. 

47 minutes ago, Hiphopopotamos said:

Wasn’t this all from an internal investigation (to fire Pruitt with cause)?  Should be a while before any NCAA punishments are known. 

Yes. The NCAA hasn’t started investigating. And then may never because there useless, or maybe Tenn “self-reports” for a light penalty. Hard to know, but they could implicate Pruitt in whatever they self-report.

Seems more likely this starts the dominos that get us Golding than we actually hire Pruitt. But man if we hire Pruitt, we’ll all know burnt orange bags are gonna be dropping all over the country.

I mean Steve Patterson is at least intelligent to some degree and just not great at his job - meanwhile Fulmer is the guy who thinks he is brilliant, but isn't and thinks he is killing it at his job, but isn't.

 

Forget Pruitt and Golding.  I just hope Monkey Gia is able to adequately explain to recruits, on the eve of NSD2, why her official hire announcement took so damn long, even though it was her the entire time.  She may not be comfortable getting into the whole rabies recovery timeline with them, but I'm concerned about perception, if she doesn't. 

If she's in Austin, or even Vegas with mommy for that matter, why can't she at least be working the phones or Zooming with these kids now.  I'm sure some of them would like to at least hear her voice or see her little pink face, even if the camera catches her engaged in sex acts with Pole Assassin or, even worse, throwing her own shit around the place... ala Excrement-Launching Analysis (this f'in kills me).

Enough, tell us it's the monkey already.
