The Pruitt experiment will fail, I am afraid.I never thought I'd say this because I've long fought against the notion, but I think I'd be for Fulmer coming back as coach to stablize the program if Pruitt ultimately doesn't work out and we once again find ourselves settling for some 5th choice coordinator. I said in another thread I don't think he'd be a long term answer but I think he could stablize the program until we get someone else. The way Barnes has turned out made me rethink Fulmer.
Let me give you some advice, Chris. An unsolicited opinion, if you will. Pruitt was not, and is not, the man who will even come close to turning it around. And no, Pruitt does not turn it around in time.It's unreal. I'm not ready to completely turn the page on Pruitt after 13 games, but he has an uphill fight to warrant his employment. I understand that financially, we can't just fire him. Yesterday just sealed and reassured my jaded attitude towards our program. Maybe Pruitt fixes it in time, but I won't be hanging onto every game to watch it happen. Someone let me know how it turns out by Thanksgiving. I have better things to do. Never thought I'd reach that point, but here it is.
He has no history as a head coach. There is nothing to base your faith on; blind faith is all that's available. that only works in religion. Facts so far say his motivational skills are highly inconsistent. Pretty good recruiter though. would appear low marks on teaching skills too.I had very little faith from day one.
Yes, it is as you say. Just from the surface, I agree with what you say. I would say recruiting skills are good enough, unless you coach in the SEC. In that case, we are falling behind the leaders in each cycle. Yes, we are getting some good players, but the top tier teams are getting MORE good players. Feel free to disagree.He has no history as a head coach. There is nothing to base your faith on; blind faith is all that's available. that only works in religion.

I agree, but we're not a top tier team. We should have enough talent to win 4 games in the SEC but from what I saw Saturday the coaching isn't there, on either side of the ball, trench play especially. Need a guy like Pitman on the O side. No hope on D.Yes, it is as you say. Just from the surface, I agree with what you say. I would say recruiting skills are good enough, unless you coach in the SEC.
