Here’s a prediction: Pruitt is fired for cause next week and the ugliness of the investigation hurts our standing in coaching circles.
Fulmer is still involved, but will be very vocal in his unhappiness given we fired his handpicked candidate. He will be part of a committee making the next hire - his opinion will be counted but only about 25% as strong as it was in 2017 when Davenport handed everything over to him.
We employ a search committee like usual who gives us a B-tier group of coaches. We’re turned down by one or two after we’ve interviewed them.
After a long search, much longer than we expected, we land on a candidate like Chadwell, Leipold, or Monken.
Fulmer stays on the job for another 6-12 months, then retires when he has enough distance from this to feel like the optics are right.
