If Jeremy Pruitt accepts the Tennessee job and can land both OC Tee Martin and DC Tosh Lupoi, that would probably be the best trio of recruiters in the nation

Congrats. If he can keep his cool he may be a good coach.

 

[Silver Britches]

Tee Martin should get the head coaching job in my opinion. Tee will be a great OC, though.

 

[BuckNasty83]

I'm not upset, or excited. He's done well as a DC, but how will that translate to HC? Can he make the proper hires is my main concern

A Dawg would say that

I'll pass on Tee altogether

Y'all should just be happy SOMEBODY, ANYBODY, decided to come be a head coach there. Be thankful, dude!

Then again, maybe something happens at the last minute and the coaching search continues. Stay tuned!

Don't get too far ahead...There's still time for him to decline the offer.

It's been ridiculous, but I knew Fulmer would pull through. Though I was worried to death it would be Steele.

Keep that bad juju over there

That’s a valid point, both West Ga and Newberry are looking for head coaches and I hear they are in the running for Pruitt, too.

Sources: Tennessee assistants were informed tonight to come off the road recruiting in anticipation of Alabama DC Jeremy Pruitt being named Vols coach Thursday. Pruitt’s imminent hiring 1st reported by @JimmyHyams


Good troll job though

 

[K80]

I just read it was declined because he wanted to finish with bama and tenn said no.

 

[KyDawg]

After about two seasons of Phat Phil looking over his shoulder, he will be asking himself "What have I got into?"

 

[KyDawg]

LOL Rush Probst was his boss and taught him what he knows. Rush is the coach of a high school team.

You realize a ton of coaches start in HS right?

Meyer, Bill Snyder, Cutcliff, Chip Kelly, Lovie Smith, Gus, Tubberville, Freeze, and even Bill Walsh.

This is about like UT fans whining we didn't get a proven HC. Heck, 3 of the coaches in the playoffs started as coordinator. This guy is national recruiter of the year, has won national championships at multiple stops. That's a win to me. I'd rather have him that Schiano, Mullen, Morris, though Morris is a good coach, Doeren and a few others that Currie was going to hire. Truth is, no one is proven, not anyone willing to give up their jobs. Here's to hoping he steals a couple Bama recruits. And he started as a GA at Bama before HS

Still is! This should be interesting. I can see a ton of Avatar bets coming from you now.

Pruitt was good to the Dawgs! He came in at tge end of Richts rain. He has a drinking problem. He was toxic at times with his approach but in all honesty he was right. He can recruit and he can coach a D. Can he manage a coaching staff? Who knows. My honest opinion is even if he can't if he fails the talent level will be way up. He has never stayed anywhere long. That would be my worry
