Pruitt is going to have plenty of time to get this straightened out. The sky isn’t falling. He isn’t going to be fired.
Does he need to win big games soon? Absolutely. But he’s still learning on the job. I’m not saying he will become Dabo, but there are plenty of examples of new head coaches taking 4-5 years to figure it out.
Personally, I think getting slaughtered on Saturday might cost us with guys like Green, Mims, TID, and Mondon in this cycle. But Pruitt is going to have plenty of chances in the future to get those big wins he needs, especially if our QB recruiting continues its current trajectory.
In 2 years, we’re likely going to have Bailey, Salter, and Simpson on our depth chart which is a far cry from where we are now.
Losses to GA St and BYU adjusted the timeline on a rebuild. A bad game against an elite team is okay in year three. A bad game against a mediocre SEC team isn't. 6-7 wins means we're making solid progress IMO. Not sure Pruitt ever puts us in the elite tier, but I think he'll give a solid foundation. Compare that to our previous hires.
