all the choices in regards to making a decision on pruitt this year are bad. it's just what you would consider the lesser of two evils.
1. fire him and start over again, and you hit the reset button on the 20 class, and your rebuild clock resets again, right back to 4-5 years. that's assuming you get a competetant coaching staff....of which i'm not sure how many top notch HC's and staffs would be chomping at the bit to come in after yet another failed coaching change. but whol knows...this is an option.
2. keep him. if they turn this season around and finish strong, we're still on the same track we were pre Aug 31. if this season nose dives, then you probably don't sign that top notch 20 class, but you do keep a core of players. and you basically add a year to the rebuild, because we're now gonna do it the old fashioned way....development...so you're in wait and see mode until year 4 at best, more likely year 5.
either way, you're stll 2-3 years away from being competitive if you retain Pruitt, at least 4 if you fire him.
both come wiht heavy does of "what if".
and honestly, i don't know that i care either way at this point. my gut says just stick with what we got and see.
but my brain can't ignore saturday. that was bad. and if people are looking for a sign that he's not it........................................hard to ignore the worst loss in program history.
