I do believe Yurcich had *somewhat of an open ended offer but I don't think that makes
Pruitt an idiot. Not even close.

Out of the initial candidates, Yurcich was one of the last named before Pruitt went back to focusing on recruiting. If the job was offered that late and Yurcich asked for a couple of days to talk to family etc.?

Pruitt wasn't going to vett and interview someone else until the dead period anyway, so absolutely nothing to lose giving Yurcich time, if that's who he really wanted.

I understand Kingston's reaction but seems too black and white to me. Gray is how most things actually play out.

Just looking over his resume, looks like he significantly improved the offense at every school he coached at with the exception of Auburn (where he was fired 6 games into the season with Auburn at 4-2; Auburn only won one of the 6 remaining games after he left). Was your "he's awful" in regard to recruiting?

Random name, but I was reading the history of the Air Raid offense today, and one of the big standouts in the development of the system was Tony Franklin, who is currently OC at MTSU. He was on staff at Kentucky with Mumme and Leach, coming from high school to help develop the system. After getting fired from UK, he ended up teaching Rush Propst his offensive system, as well as selling his entire playbook and techniques to coaches all across the country. If we're getting desperate and looking to spread the field with a lot of passing, may be an interesting person to look at. Would be cheap. I can't speak to his recruiting prowess (or lack thereof).

Franklin isn't leaving MTSU and coach Stockstill. I think he is about half way through his contract.

He's a great coach. Several years ago Coach Franklin was in the recruiting services industry, our owner sold him a recruiting services franchise which he eventually sold for over a million dollars before he started teaching HS coaches his offensive air raid system that was popular with Mumme at Ky. He's kinda the Godfather of the spread offense and has sold his ideas to thousands of HS coaches over the years. We speak with him several times a month as he's always been a friendly proponent of our services, he's a great coach just doubt that the timing and situation is right for him.

I have watched him a bunch at MTSU. His QB took an absolute beating.
No clue how to protect his QB

Several times today I’ve gotten a little concerned about this b-ball game.

Then I’m like oh yea.... We’re elite.

If it makes you feel any better, I heard Mizzouri women were yelling "you're next" to the men's team when they were leaving the court after beating the Lady Vols. I hope that's plenty motivation for the men to thump them on their court (hopefully worse than they thumped UGA, but not likely).

I'm getting board with this place. All you all do is come in here and complain that we don't have an OC but you never do anything about it!

Stock up on Swiss Cake rolls...we gonna be a while. I’m thinking Pruitt might be waiting until the day after NSD, so we will have a huge splash to continue the momentum of the 2019 class.
