Could just be a Rooney Rule, could be legit. He was a well respected player by all accounts and certainly you have to admit the Belichick coaching tree in college is pretty successful when you factor in Saban, Ferentz, and Pat Hill did/are doing plus early tenured NFL coaches like Vrabel, Judge...

True but so does Jeff Fisher...500 coach, no Super Bowls. That’s what sucking is.

True but Jeff Fisher still sucks.

But is already interviewing for NFL HC positions. Better to catch an up and comer a year early than wait and miss out.

Disagree. Jeff Fisher sucks.

I would like to see Raheem Morris get a look. Good coach, seems to really get a lot out of players. Defensive success is documented, think he could be a home run.

Uninformed? You can make excuses and rationalize WHY he’s career .500, but at the end of the day you are what your record says you are. I don’t know what message or credibility a past-his-prime NFL coach that is getting consideration by exactly zero NFL teams brings to a 17 year olds door. I...

Fisher’s all time .500 coaching record is a perfect representation of what kind of coach he is: meh. Not bad, probably a good coach, message gets stale quickly. Too far removed from NFL to have real NFL credibility with young stars.

AD: Reggie McKenzie HC: Mario Cristobal OC: Gus Malzahn Don’t waste time with up and comers, go get winners.

Joe Brady, Dave Aranda or Mario Cristobal. Don’t waste time with low level Dooley’s and Lyle’s.

Reggie McKenzie, bring that NFL credibility, eye for talent, and a VFL. Don’t look anywhere but NFL for coach.

Cooter is on the hot seat, he's not getting any HC jobs. He might not even have an OC job at the end of the season.

Reminds me of when Miami moves Sam Shields to CB after 3 years of WR. Similar kind of lanky athlete. I have a hunch this will be a good move.

For some people here, the biggest negative with every coach mentioned is that they simply aren’t Jon Gruden. It’s all about the brag. Some wanted to go work next day with their chest puffed out talking about JON GRUDEN AT TENNESSEE! I’m not sure anyone will puff their chest about Pruitt, but...

If the choice was a retread like Les Miles, another mid-major HC with an okay record, or an upcoming coordinator who is a great recruiter, knows the SEC, and has connections in pipeline states...I know who I’m going with. We’ve tried guys who have HC experience, they haven’t worked out. It’s...
