This is all getting interesting.
Schottenheimer has been a disaster as OC, but it sounds like Pruitt, in spite of being more successful on the field than his predecessor, has been a nightmare in other ways. Everything that has gone wrong at UGA over the past five years has been the result of bad hires on the part of Mark Richt. For whatever reason, he seems to be a really bad judge when it comes to hiring assistants these days. Either that, or he's become bad at managing his staff in general.
Even if the assistants are the problem, though, the idea of firing both the OC and DC is pretty radical. While it's not quite the same as "hiring a new head coach", it's still a pretty radical overhaul. Possible that a new staff could come in and perform well in a short period of time (see Florida this year), but it's pretty rare for that to happen.
Regardless, it might mean that Georgia's spectacular class this year could get chipped away at. Georgia is leading on a lot of players that we have been recruiting as well. Right now, we are probably 2nd or 3rd on a few big UGA recruits. It's tough to say what would happen if nearly the entire staff, except for Mark Richt, is dismissed.
