"Weezer, post: 15874647, member: 27812"]Bold statement. Pruitt has a 3-4 year rebuild cushion. If Auburn were to suddenly tank the next 3-4 years, Gus would absolutely be on the hot seat. Anything can happen.”
I think Gus has 2-3 years.
Short of a #metoo attack on Gus, he won't be going anywhere this year or the next.
The AU powerbrokers have hitched their wagon to Gus, and won't be cutting him lose until there are no other options on the table. I bet we see some deck chairs getting re-arranged after the Birmingham Bowl, however, including OC, RB and Oline coaches.
As far as 5* commits Nix, Pickens and Pappoe, they have to be concerned and considering other options. If Auburn legacy Nix sees this offensive s**t show continue, he may well look elsewhere. Pickens and Nix are extremely close and he will follow Nix’s lead. Pappoe currently most solid with very close ties to LB coach Travis Williams, but a LOI is not guaranteed.
That trio along with Morris would be game changers for Tennessee. Nix would be a perfect QB for Pruitt’s system, moreso than Gus’. If I were Pruitt, I would be all over Nix and convince him UT Oline will significantly improve next year
