Like with Grantham, I don't think he's offered anyone the job yet, just interviews. It's obvious who Saban wants, and I hope we get good news on him soon.

See, that's the thing. If a coach like Leonhard, or Schumann took the job, it's theirs for as long as they want it. Those two are fantastic defensive coordinators, and will be head Coaches soon. Coaches like Grantham, or Steele are good.... but they would most certainly be passed over for Pruitt. I get the feeling Saban is doing everything in his power to get Pruitt back.

Pruitt is not an option.

A report came out a few days ago that Saban had reached out, or interviewed (can't remember which one) Pruitt about the job. And what you heard (if true) could be a double edged sword. Pruitt's case wouldn't bring any trouble to Alabama so long as he doesn't cause anymore infractions. Even with the show-case, if he gets it.... he can still coach, just can't recruit. And who better to monitor that than Saban? Plus, I'm sure Pruitt would do everything he could not to cause trouble for the program if he were to be brought back. We'll just have to wait and see.

He still is. Just a lot to go through to get him back. At this point, I feel Saban is still trying to get him. This DC hiring process has been as silent as I've ever seen. If he wanted Grantham to be the guy, he would've been the guy. I don't think Saban offered him the job. If not Pruitt, I sincerely don't know who'd be his top choice right now.

WE've alluded through this, he is in play, but likely 2024 or 2025

He very well could as has been pointed out several times in this thread.
If he's suspended like Freeze, he'd miss games.
If it's a restriction on recruiting he's bringing trouble in the form of Saban shooting himself in the foot: he's restricting recruiting.
The terms of the show cause are not standard. It could be a number of things including sanctions that could affect an analyst.
The timeline for UT / NCAA is already out of sorts with no effort to speed things up on the UT end. White mentioned recently he wasn't expecting an announcement around the corner. We're likely looking at April before Pruitt gets his time with the NCAA.
Things now are no different than they were when this thread was started in November of last year. His return to Tuscaloosa is contingent on the decisions from the NCAA—still an unknown

No shit. I'm worn out on the topic. Something I don't think you could have paid me to say ever, before this thread.
I only wanna hear Glenn Schuman's name again if we have officially hired him. Lawd.

A lot of things could very well happen in this case. Im just basing what I said off what the NCAA usually does to a coach if they give them a show-cause. If it's a suspension, whole other thing. I don't think they'll suspend him, but never leave anything off the table when dealing with the NCAA. I wish Tennessee would quit being cunts, and just speed this shit up. They're the biggest douchebag program I've ever seen when it comes to shit like this.

I like the hire. For all the reasons we discussed. I wish our fan base would stop freaking out so much about the hire. Did the same thing with Kiffin, Daboll, and Sarkisian. We got National champions out of all of them.

Charles Kelly was named the 247 recruiter of the year for his work this past cycle. With that said, Nick lets him head to NeonVille knowing he needs a DC. OK
My gut tells me Kirby is just waiting for Nick to call Gleen so they can turndown the gig and then have a good ole time with the PR hit to Nick and Bama.
