The question isn’t about finances just for this and next year.


The decision to keep him isn’t comparing the cost of this year vs next. It’s figuring in the chances he survives next year. I think he wins 7 games next year and we don’t end up having to fire him either year

But are we really just trying to survive from year to year?? Oh yay! We won 7 games!

I think fulmer believes he can win here



I’d guess fulmer has the approach that the next time he fails to win 7 games it’s over but fulmer is going to blame much of this season on covid imo

You're probably right but I disagree. The recruiting is/will regress. He's already shown he can't win with good talent. What's going to happen when he has below average talent? He's not going to get it done here, unless you consider 6-7 wins done. And again, do you extend him next year for 7 wins? If you don't you've already said that would affect recruiting negatively.

Flame away, but I still like Coach Pruitt and think he can get things turned around with a normal offseason and the right coaching changes.

The one thing I just can’t make any sense of is the hiring/firing of Jimmy Brumbaugh. Pruitt had some comments along the lines of not interviewing him or any other candidates, just straight up offered him Co-DC and DL. That’s a hire you can’t **** up. If you believe that strongly in a guy, what could have gone wrong over the course of seven months to warrant firing him mid game?

I do think Jeremy is one of the most competitive coaches in CFB. Those of you saying he’s coaching like he wants to be fired or isn’t trying because he has a job on Saban’s staff are out of your mind. Imagine being regarded as the top of your profession and then fielding a defense as porous as ours. I bet he pours every ounce of energy this off-season into turning that unit into an elite force like we were beginning to see during the win streak last season.

He can try. Doesn't mean he will succeed. He's at the end of year 3. Where was that determination in the past ~1,100 days since he was hired?

Saying it's no longer in Fulmer's hands is hardly news. The amount of money it would cost, and the financial implications it would create, to make a change like this is above the AD's pay grade. It was always going to be Boyd's call. Just like it was Boyd's call to authorize the funding to keep Barnes. The money isn't sitting in an offshore account. It will have to be sourced by the university.

He didn't turn down SC. Beamer was their guy from the start don't let anyone tell you different.

That is what my SC alum booster friend told me over two weeks ago when I brought up names to him. Anybody giving a different story is blowing smoke.

We can't stop a basic offensive play in slant routes. To say that Pruitt just needs to bear down over the offseason and turn the defense into an elite unit is laughable. Guy is in over his head. He is what he is. Wishful, magical thinking is just that right now.
