He also OC’d the Utes team that went 13-0 and beat Bama along with some solid Wiscy teams.

Proclaiming him a 6 win OC because he’s at VANDY is ignoring context IMO.

Kinda like calling Mullen a 7 win coach based on his time in Starkville.

 

[HankHill]

Lol. @HankHill am I wrong by saying that Pruitt has known he was gonna be looking for a new OC after this past season for over a month now? And that he at least should have already had a list to pull from?

At the very least since the week leading up to vandy. Helton wasn’t bashful about making it known he wasn’t a happy here. No one knows exactly what is going on and maybe all of this is part of some master plan but i think Pruitt is indecisive and this isn’t a very well ran search. Doesn’t mean it won’t end with a good hire but just what it seems so far.

He has done wonders with Shurmer. Wouldn’t be a sexy hire but could be a good one.

why did Briles interview if he wasn't really interested? Does this mean our staff did not rub well with him, or did he not want to join the UT circus?

Do we know he's not interested or just assuming because he is interviewing with FSU?

 

[MrVolton]

I have a little higher aspirations than average as a fan

So setting program records at UT as an OC is not aspiration enough?

 

[Smokey123]

Bama, AU, and FSU haven’t hired OCs yet either. Y’all calm your tits.

That’s because they aren’t interested in winning, just being an SJW university. Only Liberty wants to win

 

[volfanCLT]

Not saying I would be a huge fan of the hire but Ludwig plays the style that Pruitt said he wants to run.

Fits well with our current recruiting profile too

 

[millst987]

Ole Lurch Ludwig is gonna save us

But, according to some, we've been looking for one for over a month.

He’s setting records at Vandy?

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Recipe for disaster. He got a Mulligan the first time and now if he rolls the dice again, he deserves whatever criticism that comes his way.

True

[Tennessee Golfer]

One could argue Bama has been too. Saban had to know Locksley was probably getting an offer after the season. Good leaders should always be one step ahead and expecting to replace their best people when they move up.

I am just guessing here but maybe he had already agreed to meet with FSU before meeting with CP.

He definitely is coming off indecisive in this search and at times in recruiting. If he isn't indecisive then maybe he is stalling for someone in NFL. Doubt it though. i can see this ending in Lilly promoted to OC the longer it goes.

 

[millst987]

You know you want him bass

Is this an argument to bring back Mike DeBord?

Fyp

i did thst this year. my babies are going to be old enough to recall Vols games now.

 

[Nashvegas31]

If Ludwig were coming straight from Wisconsin nobody would have a problem with it. Especially how they ran the ball with Melvin Gordon and their other back that year. Where did his name even come from though? Never saw him on any list
