Yea, when was the last time Alabama had an ineligible player for academics? If you google it, a recruit pops up for 2018. That’s just initially cleared by the NCAA. Beyond that, there’s an article about them being on probation a few years after Saban got there. Doesn’t happen.

I like Napier, not sold on Chadwell just yet, but I think Herman is as good an option as either. Much like both, he found success at a smaller school when he was at Houston. JMO, but I think Herman's struggles at Texas are overblown.

Herman and Napier are probably the most realistic candidates, but we are UT. Pruitt will be back next year, and when we eventually do hire a coach, it'll be a McGoogle.

We won't get either, you are probably right. I would rather have Napier, I don't want Hermehn.

They will never go after the guys I really want...they are too cheapass loser eunuchs to do that.

Agree. Pruitt has to hire

QB coach
DL coach
OL coach
WR coach
LB coach

Also, watch Ansley and Texas.

You’re talking 5-6 new coaches. No way they let him do this. Surely.

Are these all confirmed/expected?

If so, a bit reminiscent of the exodus before Dooley’s last year.

Getting pretty leaky .

A bit here a bit there. Who knows what is true?

Sounds to me that pressure may be rising for Pruitt to negotiate a buyout.

There are all kinds of tricks universities can use to protect the eligibility of players. With all of UT’s resources, if someone has grades issues, im guessing someone really screwed up.

If the administration is going to pay for six new coaches next season, then you might as well just pay Pruitt’s buyout and save money.

His replacement is going to want to bring in his own staff so it would actually cost more to keep him next year.

I know Tennessee is stupid but this would be pure insanity.

Not if you are pushing them to do something they are not physically capable of doing. There is a point where you have to realize you are not going to get anything more out of them no matter how much you want it, or even how much they might want to do it. Then you have to start putting them in situations where they can succeed. Take JG for example since the QB position is the one everyone sees. Do you think DM or LK could have managed him better? Would it be because they turned him into PM or because they used what he had? There was an old saying that Bear Bryant could beat you with his players, or he could beat you with yours if you switched.

And Bear Bryant used to say that about Neyland!

Someone really screwed up because Shamburger and Keyton both had to take time off to focus on grades.

The state of Alabama, city of Tuscaloosa, and Bama campus have all “bought in”.
This includes all faculty, police, and media.
Bama football for them is their enormous cash cow and they protect it completely.
The same is not true for UT football.
