Pruitt to Bama?

[jhcrane14]

I talked to Finebaum about Pruitt possibly heading back to Bama after Saban retires.

What are your thoughts?

 

[bray2milton]

Pay the man and that won’t happen.

 

[MurphyVol]

Is this sooner than the Dooley to UGA hand wringing started?

 

[Manning Up]

Not going to happen. Too many powerful Tide boosters are apparently against Pruitt returning because he left to coach a hated rival. There was an article last spring reporting as such. Some feller named Dabo is their guy.

Lol. Dooley taking the long way to be the head dog trainer.

I’ll worry about that when the time comes. As much as I like Coach Pruitt right now, the jury is still out on him. This is his first year as a HC. Still a lot of work to do. I have to agree with Paul, Coach Swinney is the only one who could fit what they will want. But who ever follows Saban will always have that gigantic little shadow over them. Tough act to follow. Can’t wait for him to retire!

 

[lilesrt]

Not worried. Nick Saban will coach til he's 90.

I hope Pruitt wants to establish his own legacy separate from anyone else. If (when) he gets it done here, he's a legend in his own right. No one's shadow to stand under. The last great coach we had was Fulmer, and his last couple of seasons were not really great. Pruitt will stand on his own.

If Pruitt is successful enough that Bama wants him, whoever takes his place will be walking into a gold mine.

Nice OP. Well spoken and good representation. I think Pruitt is starting to fall for ole rocky top though. Once he has it rolling and were regularly selling out Neyland again, who would want to leave that??

 

[Vol Kilmer]

If he does, that means we win a Natty before he goes. No way Pruitt goes before Dabo without the Natty imo.

 

[Pride85]

This is seriously the most paranoid group. Constantly fretting about a potential future occurrence rather than enjoying what is happening now.

 

[OrangeTsar]

Now why would Alabama go and do a foolish thing like that when they already have the author of the "infallible offense" (tm) already in Tuscaloosa ready to succeed Saban

 

[Plano Vol]

When the time is right, pull a pillowcase over Dabo's head, truss him up and deposit him on the steps of the AD's house at bammer.

 

[SmokeyDaBear]

I can see it if he wins big in the next 5 years. Idk if he would, but he’d be the first call I bet at that point. Dabo is too far removed. If Cristobal does really well at Oregon maybe he would make more since to come back to the SEC. even Tosh by that point, who knows.

 

[cHiZzLeVOL]

I’m more worried that the OP called into the Finebaum show to ask about Pruitt to Bama in his first year as a head coach......

 

[governmentmule]

come on OP

it will be Jimbo,he will be out of money by then

or Kiffen lol

Dabo is gone when Saban retires.

Bama will match anything that Clemson throws at him.

Doug Dickey and Lane Kiffin.

He has won a total of 5 games as a head coach. You need to get a grip.

Before it’s all said and done, he might be the best coach in UT history. Or the worst. We have no way of knowing 10 games into his career.

And if he wants to leave, there’s nothing any of us can do about it.

Ron, if you keep talking the crazies off the ledge we'll never thin the herd.

 

[JonGrudensAgent]

He's got a long way to go to get on Bamas radar if that time comes.

Saban probably coaches until he looks worse than Emperor Palpatine though.

 

[leftygray]

Alabama already has their Saban replacement on staff as an offensive intern.
