Man. Could y’all imagine firing Pruitt and hiring Ansley?

Actually yes

Reports like this are like making a
Small bet on 4th street needing one card for a flush. If you hit you look
Like a genius if you miss you didn’t lose much Anyway

False.

Nah, it’s partially true. He wasn’t an on-field position coach but he did help out with linebackers while at Alabama. I remember Hubbs or someone from VQ mentioning it in the write up when it was announced.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I can't figure out why they felt they needed to rush to do this.

The bold was my only point though.

Every head coach does this. At least he took ownership for the ****up and didn’t leave his OC to get thumped by the bus. Are you also pissed that he has called for two successful fake punts in recent weeks?

I only remember one being successful but maybe I’m wrong. I wasn’t amused though that we felt we needed to run a fake punt against that Vandy team.

My fingers are crossed Fulmer has just simply been waiting for the season to end.

Update from the same board lol


"Update from my source (the one who told me on Friday that Gus was definitely let go): Oregon ponied up to retain Cristobal, so he's apparently a not coming to Auburn. Our folks don't want the baggage that comes with Freeze, so they're passing on him. They were seriously considering Chip Lindsey, but he's apparently going through some personal issues, so they are passing on him. Our folks were also considering Steve Sarkisian, but they're apparently passing on him as well. Lane Kiffin is under consideration and so is Mike Gundy.

Long story short, my source says that there is no real direction, and there isn't anyone already in place. Source says that this is shaping up to possibly be a bit of a mess.

Side note, my source also said that Gouge and Greene both wanted to keep Gus, but the donors flat out told them they would not contribute another dime until Gus was gone. Basically ham-stringed the president and AD to get rid of Gus.

Source also said a coach from ND is going to Vandy, so Gus is not. Said Gus is now considering Arizona State."

Sounds like coaching searches I have witnessed before.....

I have a hunch IF he decides to move, it will be BIG TIME. CF is nearing the end and his legacy is important to him. He will not swing and miss.

 

[mr.checkerboards]

Thanks

It’s sad either way and I didn’t mean to marginalize it regarding Covid.
Just worried that covid has more issues than we know About and what that might mean going forward

Nope, you weren't wrong for going there.
My 2 cents, which means not squat. The fall might be the bigger issue in any head trauma he may be experiencing. But ill leave things at that and back to the coaching search.

Hitting a wide open receiver in the chest past the first down marker goes down as a successful call in my book. Just piss poor execution

 

[Buddy’s Bandit]

Sounds like vandy season might finally be over

when it started.

I took liberty to finish your sentence.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I want to fire Pruitt on his qb management alone.

And the fact that Small and Beckwith have been on the bench.

Joseph and Key have been on the bench.

Velus and Hyatt were virtually ignored until week 8.

None of his personnel decisions make sense

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Pruitt is going to step down as HC and continue as DC. Lane is being hired to run our offense because they really developed a bond while at Bama. Both approach their side of the ball the same and Phil feels like it would work. Pruitt will be allowed to pick/keep his defensive staff and will be assistant HC. He actually feels relieved and looks forward to sliding back into the role he likes most.

Book it.
@BassmasterVol share this on TOS and see what happens.

I’m all for this

I didn't see where he had already hired Major Applewhite as OC. That actually sounds like a really good hire.

 

[Smyrna ATL Vol]

Actually yes

LOL!

 

[Weezer]

The bold was my only point though.

Both Tri and myself said he was a GA, so if that was your only point, that he wasn't an on-field coach, we had already conceded that. But he did work with the ILBs under Pruitt, so I'm sure Pruitt was aware of his experience with the position.

$$$$ people

From that article:
Jones has also hired well-known offensive coordinator, Major Applewhite, to his staff.

Whoa...Butch may have learned something while under Saban.

Urban Meyer turned down Texas because he already agreed to coach Tennessee. Fulmer goes down as the GOAT.

Don’t care and I hope he fails miserably.

 

[Tri-CitiesVol]

Trey Wallace just brought up a good point on Twitter. I doubt it happens because he hasn’t exactly shown much success at UT, but would be nice if Gruden took Ansley off our hands.

I have some mattresses stashed away in storage to burn in protest if we offer Gundy's sorry azz again.
