'17 AU WDE Big Kat Bryant (UCF)

1. Reputation
2. Money

Either of those are interchangeable depending on the motivation of trainers...... erm, handlers........
Gotcha.... So you can't be a fan and sway them to your university unless you are getting a lot out of it. And if you do get something out of it you can feel guilty if bad things continue to happen at the school.
 
Answer me this, he showed progress from yr 1 to yr 2. Then covid hit and everyone had issues and ppl held out for this or that. How many times hv we seen a yr in which the SEC only had 4 or 5 teams win over 6 games? So apparently a lot of ppl regressed or had a lack of progression right? I'll wait on a response.
Wins were less across the board because of the SEC only schedule. No 2 or 3 cream puff wins that every team usually has every year.

Just curious, have you ever been given money by boosters to try to sway kids to certain schools?
 
Yes I do I train kids and hv done this over 15 yrs. Many on here know this but just want to be contrarians and argue because they’re naive and believe in everything that UT does is good. The problem was and is now you have idiots as boosters who argued about the hire of CJP, then he wasn’t an ass kisser and didn’t just walk around with his nose in their butts which rubbed some of the, the wrong way. There was not 1 whistle blower at all, but a few. The fools thought Freeze would come here after that debacle and from a personal source the SEC said NO but he also was hesitant due o the public display that went on from the leak to the press conference and saw sentiments of Ole Miss. We have several kids being recruited and offered by him and his staff as well as every P5 team in the country. The way UT operated was disgusting and bush league.

Yeah I am sure the complete regression in player development and in the win column had nothing to do with Pruitts departure. Dude gave the facts, Pruitt sucked. It’s why he went to be a position coach again. Because likely nobody wanted him. Hell nobody probably wanted him in the first place.

He could get a college DC job in a heart beat if their wasn’t a pending show cause! He went to the nfl because he’s a good coach and the university ruined his college prospects... don’t be so blinded by hate that you become unreasonable! Like him or hate him as a head man... he can coach defense

As a DC I don’t question him at all. As a HC he just doesn’t have it.

I’m not convinced. What happened to our defense this year. Multiple missed assignments every game. I believe he looked good as a DC because of the Head Coaches he worked under IMO.

He gave players money and the university ruined his college prospects? They made him do it? He didn't know it was wrong or a violation of his contract?

I get that we don’t like Pruitt but he legit had our D trending in the right direction in Y2. You’re now judging his entire career and his capabilities as a DC off of one season as a HC. Those are 2 different jobs.

Now do I think he would succeed as a DC with a team that doesn’t have talent? No. He doesn’t appear to be a “more with less” guy. Majority of coaches aren’t. That’s why the ones that are capable of doing more with less are so valuable.

A good DC or defensive-minded HC can figure out how to cover a simple slant. A good defensive mind can make adjustments during the game and certainly during the season. In the past, when it was 3rd and 10/15, and Pruitt had all his DBs line up 10/15 yards off the LOS, I had doubts about his defensive prowess.

I am not DC, a defensive minded HC, or even a football coach and I know how to stop a slant.

Maybe he’s a scheme guy and not a technique guy. Idk the answer but those are good points. Still think if he ever ends up back in college as a DC for a team with legit talent then he’ll have success again. I’d also rate him -2.5/10 on leadership ability. Team was lost once the real leaders graduated

Sounds simple, but maybe there were weaknesses in the D that he was trying to protect and giving up a slant was the price of covering that weakness.. for example; maybe the dline was so bad against the run that he coached the lbs to help in run support at the expense of slant passes because getting run on for 300 yards a game is more devastating. There is much more that goes into coaching than what you think you see on saturdays.

Don't forget lining all of his guys up at the first down marker on 3rd and 10

The only person that ruined Pruitt’s chances at another job was Pruitt. It’s called accountability.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it? Well, it was broke. Yeah, the DL struggled. That doesn't explain why a DB isn't able to defend a slant.
 
Every school is doing it but not every school is throwing theirselves under the bus.
Not every school that is cheating has a Coach that’s so incompetent in the way he cheats. It leaked at kickoff by FanRun Radio and Blake T. I don’t like the University kneecapping itself but Pruitt was a special kind of stupid at keeping it low key.
