My only concern is he had been doing that with somewhat loaded rosters. Pruitt looked good when he was at Alabama with a loaded roster.

The guy has worked miracles with mid level talent at BC and Cincinnati, and developed more Butkus finalists than any coach in the last few years. He’s a great developer of talent. In fairness to Pruitt, the guy could teach DB’s as well as anyone in the country. He could call a good game as a DC. He was a terrible manager of people.

Temporarily yes, but there is more to life than that. He has..well..he had a bunch of close friends at Big Loud and they just dropped him and turned their back on him like it was nothing.

Well..he is a good songwriter and I bet the pain that is going to come from all this will result in some really good music down the road..so good for us that like him I guess..😒

We saw Shane Smith live in Key West a couple years ago at Mile Zero fest. We watched him at a couple different bar venues, and was an instant fan.
Met Tyler Childers walking down an alley that trip as well.

Ok I am officially excited. Hope we get him. Sounds like he has paid his dues and has coach about every position and HE CAN DEVELOP PLAYERS!!! That's what we need.

Not necessarily true. LSU offered Marcus freeman 2 mill and he turned them down to take it at notre Dame. 2 mil is going to be the norm soon for OCs and DCs.

But it's not the norm now. Almost anyone would taken a 2 mil DC job today. That's better than nfl money right?

Sounds like they’re in the home stretch with Washington. He’s been offered a very substantial deal. Before we pile on him for not being a DC, it’s worth noting that he’s one of the most respected defensive coaches in the game. He was passed over for the job at OSU by two seventy year old men who share a co-DC title. That is a move to keep the peace with boosters. Washington is the coach the players love. Every unit he’s coached at OSU, Michigan and BC has risen to the top. He develops LBs into the best in the country. He was a great DL coach. He even excelled as a special teams and RB coach. He calls the back half gameplan for OSU, designs blitzes for opponents, and is considered one of the top young defensive minds. Look at his units at each stop. Particularly look at the development of the Michigan LB unit and the 19 OSU LB unit. He’s high energy, intense and a great recruiter. If we land this guy, I’ll be very happy. I don’t care who we missed on, or how many plays he’s called. I think he can be a great one.

Terrific news. Thanks for the update. OSU is an elite football factory. He will be ready as a DC. I know we are ready for him.

Palo Dura is nice. I've camped there. Tremendous canyon. The Canyons up north of Taos at what used to be called Wild Rivers are spectacular too. When I have business in Raton I'll drive out of the mountains at Cimarron toward Raton where I-25 connects, across the range and I'll see antelope, bison, and turkey. Last few years I have seen both a golden eagle and a bald eagle on that drive as well. Will see deer and elk frequently in the canyon.

Have been blessed with these encounters and the experiencing of the variety of the lands around here. A couple of Springs ago there were all kinds of carp churning the head waters of Eagle Nest Lake. Trout and Salmon in those waters too. Came head to head with a badger at about 20' by the lake during a hike in the same time frame. Fortunately we were able to leave each other alone for the most part.

Another blessing has been observing ceremony at Taos Pueblo. The state parks are very limited at present but I did have a nice hike to some springs down by the Rio Grande at the floor of the West canyon at Wild Rivers in November.

There is an old burned out spa and hotel just beneath that view from the pass of the lake in your shot. They say there are slot machines in the water at the foot of the dam just over from that pass from when the politicians used to stop to gamble in Eagle Nest coming from Santa Fe to the horse track that used to be in Raton that were thrown over when that was no longer a go. Yep, I have lived around here for nearly 25 years now.

Yeah..We were bummed because Taos was like completely shut down when we were there.
