I am terrified of what this means. I’m 95% sure Pruitt is gone and I really think we bury this program if we name Steele HC or even interim HC. This better be a move just to get him here and figure out a spot later on once we get a new coach.

One had a better than average SEC roster and lost to less talented SEC teams. The other had the least talented talented NFL roster in recent memory and was asked to box with one hand tied behind his back. What you are doing is essentially comparing a grape to a tomato.

Marrone is the greatest coach that has ever lived. He is just a victim of circumstance. Hopefully we can nab him before everyone else finds out.

So you're admitting he is a coach that is reliant on talent and that his offensive & defensive schemes can't work based solely on the Xs and Os? Sounds like a ringing endorsement for a guy who was known at Syracuse as someone who didn't like to recruit and quit on the Bills in 2014 because he was scared of getting fired. Delusional fanbase.

The timeline is now starting to become very clear.

Tuesday: Fulmer and Admin have Steele in place today with no current title assigned to him.

Thursday: Pruitt will have his final meeting with admin.

Friday/Saturday They agree to a negotiated buyout and Pruitt is sent on his way.

Sunday: Steele named interim head coach. Focus's on calming our current and incoming roster down over the phones.

Monday: Students start to report back to school for classes on Wednesday. Team meeting

Beyond that, not sure if this is an active coaching search or Steele is named head coach.

Seriously, I hope this is a joke. Do you really believe this? Serious question.

That literally means nothing. College success, which Marrone didn't have, doesnt mean anything in the NFL. Here are some examples!

Rich Brooks spent 17 years as Oregon's HC and won a conference championship. NFL Record: 13-19
Butch Davis spent 6 years at Miami dominating the game. NFL Record: ONE winning season in 4 years
Lou Holtz of Notre Dame fame. NFL Record: 3-10 before he just quit on his team and resigned
John McKay spent years as USC's HC, winning multiple titles. NFL Record: lost his first 26 games.
Bobby Petrino of Louisville (and my alma mater WKU!) fame. NFL Record: We know what happened here, quit on the Falcons.
Nick Saban kicked ass everywhere, went to the Dolphins and sucked, now he is the GOAT in CFB.

Yall trying to convince yourselves Marrone is a good hire need to get real

I wouldn't go that far. But we need a stable football CEO so we can position ourselves for a great hire down the road. Marrone is more than capable of doing this for us.

The Hire of Steele does a few things to narrow the field.

If you make a change it gives the kids someone to believe is worth stick around for and he can keep things from going to hell. This assuming we are idiots and don’t have someone lined up. Also keeps some transfers you like from making quick decision elsewhere and maybe hold on to hope longer with them.

If a change is made, it narrows the field of replacements of who is likely in the short list. You can definitely count Gus out. I think someone here said Steele would also mean no Chadwell. It also means no Napier since that appeared to be an issue he had with Auburn was forcing staff in him.

Freeze/Steele Combo would do well but we are too scared to hire Freeze.

Herman while I have no clue if he would want this job I could see being accepting of Steele. I don’t think he would be adamant about any DC in particular since Orlando went to USC last yr when Herman was talked into making a change. Maybe he would want Ash but I think he would do good to have a Steele to help with recruiting connections and a guy that has successfully called defense with a tempo offense coach.

Marrone definitely would be good with Steele and Garner.

It sure does seem to be lining up to be Marrone though. You can keep Chaney/Tee/JG/Osovet and hire a OL coach. Let Steele hire Defensive staff and you likely don’t lose much in transfers or recruiting

In the NFL no one can scheme wins with zero elite talent. You must know better than that, I wouldn't think anyone was that dense.

Marrone is hypothetically leaving the NFL. He's been in the NFL for over a decade. Why are you speculating how he will do in the NFL?

You're cherry picking. At the end of the day you are what your record says.

25-25 in college (.500)
38-60 in NFL (.388)
63-85 overall (.426)

Yes - that is better than Pruitt. But are those the expectations now? If so, just pack it up and cancel the program.

You like Freeze? You know he has a 6-21 record in the SEC, right?
