🏈 Pruitt officially hired as Alabama's DC (updated title)

[AFF]

I'm hearing that it takes effect immediately. So, I guess we sort of have 2 DC's for a few weeks...I've seen no official word on this though

Yup. He is not staying on with UGA for the bowl game and is in Ttown with the staff. Probably nice having 2 guys to help break down the opponents like that.

Hopefully the defense responds and just dominates these next two games

On my phone. What are the impressive statistics Pruitt put up at UGA and FSU? I think FSU had a good bit of sacks in 2013. Georgia's defense last year was pretty impressive, outside of the Florida game.

The F$U defense of 2013 was a Top 3 defense and Top 5 scoring defense as well. His 2 years at UGA produced a #8 and #13 defense.

Technically yes, he can recruit and he'll be helping behind the scenes...just not on the field.

Heard on the radio guys talking about how much improved the pass defenses have been under Pruitt, every where he has been.

Terry has been saying that once the NFL starts their merry go round at the end of the season that it may cause us to lose a few coaches. (Tucker/Kiffen???)

With Pruitt having been the "secondary" guy.....and a pretty dang good one.....makes me wonder if Tucker is waiting for an opportunity to go back to the NFL. He has 10 years in with their pension.

 

[Snout Spout]

Very possible Tucker goes. Kiffin maybe.

If Tucker does go, we should consider bringing James Willis back to coach linebackers.

Man that would suck to lose Tucker. Guy has done a remarkable job this year with the secondary. I would love to see what he could do with next years secondary, with essentially everyone coming back.
