We are good at hiring and firing new coaches. We may be the best in the country at the process of hiring and firing. We have a lot of practice. I think hiring a coach for less than 5 years is pretty silly when you hire one with no experience. You have to know that they are going to make mistakes and need to learn from them. I honestly think if Dooley were still here we would be in better shape than we are now. I'm not saying that there aren't coaches that can do better faster. I'm saying you can't hire a coach with no experience and assume that he will have all the answers right off the bat. I'm not excited about Pruitt, but what coaches want to come here knowing they have 3 years before they are fired if the fans aren't happy with what they see? The only ones that would want the job would be coordinators. That is how I see it, but that is just one man's opinion.
I agree. We all knew Pruitt was a first time HC and that it would take time. The pandemic has not helped. Unless this administration already has a commitment from a home-run hire like Bob Stoops or Urban Meyer; just keep Pruitt in place.
