Thread on BOL (Bama 247 site) by a seemingly respected poster says deal is dead.
Said he was told at 3pm today Pruitt would be our next coach if just a couple things could get worked out. Has heard they couldnt.
Someone else said Pruitt didnt want to leave right away and didnt want any staffers forced on him and the OP responded that he was correct.
Now, I have a hard time believing they got this far in negotiations without things like that already being worked out but again, TIFWIW.
Dont kill me.
I wonder if it came down to something like this:
Fulmer: I'd like for you to bring Tee on as your OC.
Pruitt: I'm not sure he's ready for that big of a job.
Fulmer: Ummm, hes already an OC at one of the biggest and most historically successful programs in college football.
Pruitt: I'd do it if you'd let me bring Hugh Freeze on to assist him as a QC coach.
Fulmer: I dont think you heard me.
