I could be wrong but I do believe Kirby Smart maybe kept our current coach Tracy Rocker on for a little bit until after signing day then he was let go.

Kept Rocker for one season then let him go because he was a lazy recruiter. Sherrer was the other holdover and stayed until UT hired him.

This is fine. He was a good coach. But, I don't think he was the recruiter everyone made him out to be. At least from looking at the running back recruits. We have not been great in this area in a while. Change was probably needed.

Everyone wanted Butch & his staff fired.

Pruitt and his staff hasn’t even coached a game yet and now everyone is already having second thoughts.

This place is so comical.

Yes, it is comical. A few people seem concerned and "Everyone ...is having second thoughts".

OMG!!!

I'm not going to worry until the season starts and we start losing games.

There is no denying that Gillespie was an elite recruiter and coach. This is a big loss.

Losing him is pretty disheartening TBH and makes me wonder what arguments went on internally for him to be let go. Also, I wonder what the team thinks about this.

We’re not going to lose BECAUSE Gillespie isn’t the RB’s coach. The returning team most likely thinks it sucks...just like the last season...so they’re numbed.

The team that just posted the worst season in the history of UT football shouldn’t get a vote.

I'm sorry, but I am getting less and less excited about this staff every day.

Call me a negavol or whatever you want, but I haven't seen a whole hell of a lot that makes me feel good.

You'll probably be accused of being a Georgia troll. Nothing but positivity round here now:shhh:

We gonna miss RG even if he was a UF guy......never thought I'd say that.

What are you ladies crying about? Running backs are either good backs or they aren’t. They either have speed and vision or they don’t. He may have been a great coach but I bet half of you didn’t know the RB coaches name before that post and are looking to cry about something. Only butch staffer left? Gee what a wild move to see him going.... I’m sure we will be fine. Those backs were great because they had talent. RB is one of the few positions that is very hard to coach up. You can teach someone to block and catch and throw. Vision and speed are a talent most have or don’t. Put your snot rags away.

Honestly, Pruitt looks like the type of guy who isn’t afraid to call out any of his assistants when he doesn’t approve of their actions.

Pretty much wants to win immediately on the recruiting trail & compete for National Titles.

Hurd(was CRG on staff then?), Kamara, Kelly, Chandler aren't chopped liver. Kelly was the weakest and replaced a 4* before NSD. Pretty good swap looking back. But, to be fair, he's recruiting more than just RBs as an assistant.

I wonder if losing out on that RB this cycle had anything to do with this?

They weren’t pushing for grant anymore, Pruitt didn’t even go in home with him once. That’s not the reason
