I swear, this is the last ill say...

Saban not only called Pruitt to come and coach for him once, but twice...the second time to be his DC. Mark Richt made that call, and Jimbo Fisher made that call, as well. Whether it was with good players, bad players, built or not built, those three men thought enough of Jeremy Pruitt to hire him to lead their defenses. Between those three men, they have (I believe) 12 National Championships, 16 Conference Championships, and 556 wins. So, whenever anyone is arguing with me about whether or not Jeremy Pruitt is a good DC or not, they're really arguing AGAINST all that.

I would ABSOLUTELY LOVE to see the look on Nick Saban's face if @InVOLuntary or anyone else could argue this point with him. "Nick, you sure you want to make that hire? If you look at the talent levels, and what the D was the year before, I believe you'll see what I see from the sofa." 😂🤣😂🤣

Give me a break, man.

How this argument is taken seriously is beyond me. "He can't win because he can't coach, with all those 5 stars." "The reason he wins is because of all those 5 stars, not that hard to coach 5 stars." Which is it?? Penny Hardaway is sh!tting 5 stars, how's that looking? Since John Calipari got to Memphis and beyond, he's signed as many 5 stars as anyone...how many National Titles he have to show for those 20 years? Oklahoma has signed as many 5 stars as anyone, how many National Championships they won? I could go on...

Pruitt's time here was a disaster, his defenses horrible. Sorry, though, those 3 years don't make me blind to all the other years he was an IMMENSE SUCCESS.

Whats the number of Vol fans that won't have a clue that Zach Evans is not Tiyon Evans next year? I can't wait to read facebook comment sections if Zach comes here and has a good (or bad) game.

Agree--

But when they see him get through an entire game without going down hurt, then they'll realize something's up and find out who this kid is...

I'll be honest, I didn't see what was wrong with that. That's what most here say - it's not just stars, but evaluation. Especially with 10 days left, not sure what anyone really expects from a HC in that position.

And I think Napier flat out sucks...

I wouldn't say he's going to fail. I give coaches a chance to do what they say. I'm in wait and see mold.

I'm not passing judgment on Napier. He did exceptionally well at a trash program, and on top of that, he's coaching at a program that we can't beat. 3 out of the last 4 Florida coaches left Florida having never lost to Tennessee, and the one we did beat we only beat once.

Maybe he won't be any good, but I'll believe it when I see it. Every coach Florida has hired has had some success.

Yeah, wonder if Florida just managed to hire a worse recruiter than Mullen.

Old Billy Napier's never recruited a class in the top 65 even in Louisiana and winning. Even Dan was able to get a top 20 class twice in his tenure at Mississippi State...

Meh he had them top/near the top of their league. I think it's all relative. Like UCF recruiting/Heupel. He'll probably recruit just fine, but he'll stink it up on the field...Xs and Os is where he struggles. Recruiting was basically his big pull.

But UF fans think every UF coach will be Urban wrapped in Spurrier. It's wild really. Like they have no sense of actual history before 1990.

Mullen literally left them with the #7 team talent. And they act like that isn't good enough...too many memories of those #1 classes....over a decade ago. They're obsessed with Kirby and all his stars that blow it each year.

Interesting tidbit, the WR who caught the pass (Bear Rinehart)… is the lead singer and founder of the band Needtobreathe. The best small-name band in the United States of America.

Or as Bear always says, we're the best band you've never heard of! Love NTB - have seen them at least a dozen times - from Charleston to Red Rocks and several spots in between!
Edited to add that I wonder if Bear will be conflicted when Bama plays FL?!

Make it a 10 yard penalty and the QB down where he started the "slide". Will never happen again. Was a nice loophole he took advantage of. Close the loophole.

If the DC had any balls, one of his guys would have taken the QB's head off during the next series. That's 15 yards but well worth it.

When you hire the last 3 idiots Tennessee hired you are going to lose to Florida. The bullsh---------ends now.
