Understanding Jeremy Pruitt's 'philosophical' difference with Jimmy Brumbaugh

Pruitt is calling the plays for defense??? WTF

 

[IndianaVol]

I just wonder how much of this is happening on offense too???

 

[hog88]

If that article is correct, no wonder our defense looks lost so much.

Pruitt is calling the plays for defense??? WTF

And UT is paying Ansley 1 Mil a year for what?

 

[Volbrando]

if Pruitt is micro-managing this bad... then it will do no good to fire any other coaches other than him if he's calling ALL of the shots

 

[hog88]

If article is correct it shows that Pruitt still isn't ready for a HC position.

Was it enough of a difference to fire a guy 4 games into his first year? The defensive line was a concern coming into the year and has proved to be a weak spot. Whole front 7 right now isn't very good including Henry T. Makes your secondary look bad when you can't generate any pressure. Need a edge rusher and a Tackle to step up.

And I thought we hired a defensive genius as HBC.

Vols' coaching staff change 'something that has been boiling for several weeks'

If you don't trust and believe in the assistants you've hire why waste money on hiring them?

If that's the case we should expect to see massive improvement in Dline play next weekend. If not it wasn't a problem with the Dline coach, it is a problem with Pruitt.

That's what they tried to sell us on... Most of us took it with a grain of salt. He doesn't have the guys up front right now to make this defense what he wants it to be. It all starts there.. I guess he needs to hit the recruiting trail.

Pruitt is calling the plays for defense??? WTF

Calls plays for D line and LBers it says, which seems odd to call only for those units. Ansley adjusts the secondary based on what Pruitt calls.

If he’s micromanaging the defense that much, I wonder how much he micromanages the offense.

 

[Vol49er]

Is that a normal thing, for one person to call plays for the front seven and somebody else for the secondary? I’ve never heard of that before

I cant imagine how that could be a good procedure....

Somebody is wearing too many hats.

And the one he should be wearing doesn’t fit right.

Pruitt has a defensive mind and has been a successful defensive coordinator. Is it really a big surprise to people he's 'up to his elbows' involved in the defense?

Almost as shocking as Saban being neck deep in bama's defense, right? Now before you go apesh!t saying the two aren't comparable. I'm not comparing their skill levels, only the type of coaches they are and how they involve themselves.

But has he really been a successful defensive coordinator?

Never stopped as far as I know.

Is this how Saban did it? I doubt it. Sounds like a disaster.

I've heard Saban calls the D but I have no idea if that is true or not.
