If we’re talking about lower level head coaches, I think I’m most interested in Seth Littrell at North Texas. That’s bottom 5 worst jobs in the country and he’s had two straight 9 win seasons.

Played at Oklahoma as a hard nosed fullback, coached under Leach at Tech and Fedora at UNC so he knows how to run an offense.

I've already said that Bronco Mendenhall would be my top choice if Pruitt doesn't work out but would Kyle Whittingham listen if we called?

Dude yes. I thought UNC should’ve brought him back as head coach.

Also low key jacked. Have to appreciate that.

It'll catch up to you, be careful broheem. I function well on 6 hours on average but the next step for me is a pile of cocaine LOL.

And don't tell me for a second that you function without the aid of mountains of caffeine...

I’d assume he’d have another NFL opportunity pretty quick if fired

You agree with that?

Eh. He’s already on his 2nd HC job, not that he was fired but most coaches don’t get a 2nd let alone a 3rd.

I think he’s a good enough coach to warrant one but just seeing the way the league works i don’t think he will but who knows.

I would take him over Adam Gase right now I’m a heart beat. Dude is the only clinically insane boring person in the history of people. Didn’t even think that was possible

Wasn’t there rumors that’s who Fulmer wanted for OC, and then Hamilton forced him to get someone outside his coaching tree?

I’m not sure. I asked someone about that the other day. I’d like to revisit that whole situation. Was clawson the first choice?

Suck it up man. I go to work at 4am every morning and I have 3 children under the age of 4. It's not that bad.

My goodness.

JG is a baby. Just look at the GT game tape.

He screws up and shuts down. He cries and mopes. Doesn't get on the headset or support his teammates.

Give him a pacifier and put him in a crib on the sidelines. He is holding this whole team back.

Play Maurer and Shrout and let's ride.

Wondering what the hell is going on? Is it the coaches? Is it the players? Combination of both? Not sure, not there day in and day out. All I can truly judge is the product on Saturdays. As such, I do see potential greatness and unbridled talent in:

To'o To'o, Gray, and Crouch

Also see potential with several others

While technically this is CJP's second recruiting class, in all reality, it is his first class where more time and attention were afforded to really assess "his type of guys". Because of this, I want to see more. I am intrigued to see what a full team of To'o To'os, Grays, Crouches, etc at the respective positions will look like. Maybe Bailey will be the answer at QB, maybe he won't, but if he can live up to his role like some of the other freshmen have, then we might have something special brewing. Only time will tell.

Pruitt until it's not...GO VOLS!

Thanks for the answer

I’d expect the trip to the title game to get him another shot but to be honest I had forgotten this was his second stop

I’m so dang conflicted on what we should do. I just think we are going to be better off swallowing our pride and ride this out. Give him 2 more years and see how we are progressing. Don’t get me wrong, I have seen things that made me say he’s not the guy but maybe he will learn from his mistakes and we can eventually turn this crap around. Maybe he can grow into the guy.

Think I have reached acceptance stage of grief

We need to do the opposite of whatever seems like a good idea. Full Costanza approach.
