The UT HC job is HUGE opportuinty for Pruitt, especially considering it's his first HC gig. It's good that he's got a veteran HC like Fulmer as the AD. That should help him avoid some mistakes and get his HC chops up to speed faster.
We gave Pruitt his first HC opportunity. If he turns out to be very successful, that would also mean he has deeply invested himself into the University and the community itself. Again, IF Pruitt does build us back into a NC contender, I just don't believe he'll pull a Kiffin and bolt for Bama if they come calling. I believe we can match anything Bama offers in regards to money, so it will come down to a personal decision. Continue to make a name for yourself at a storied college football power in UT, or go back home to Bama and follow in the footsteps of the most successful college football head coach of all time.
This may all be a moot conversation, but I believe if he wins, he stays.
