BREAKING: Pruitt makes big move with defensive hire

Derrick Ansley added to Pruitt's staff

 

[FiremedicVOL127]

Article mentions a possible co defensive coordinator title does this indicate we may lose another or we gonna have 3?

When is Gruden coming?

 

[Joe Dirt]

That was speedy. Hopefully Terry's seat has returned to room temp before CDA sits down

Props! When the Fair news came down, first thought was Ansley but I’m way too cool and established on this board to spout fantasies. 😉 Fan of his work (and Conklin’s) amidst that abysmal 2012 season...boom worthy!

 

[Manning Up]

Hmmmm.... what was the reason? Was he not bringing home the bacon?

Pruitt got that big richard energy right now.

When is Gruden coming?

March 7th 😎

Looks like a nice hire. Welcome back to rocky top. What job did Fair get at his new gig?

 

[SoMissVol]

Hope Terry Fair is taken care of though. Hopefully, Fulmer has something for him.

Anyone think this could signal a slight change in direction for Pruitt? Could he perhaps want to back off on being as hands-on as he was last year with the DBs and let a solid veteran coach play a stronger role? I think it would be healthy.

 

[Bry]

I bet he will be the defensive coordinator.

He turned down an off-field job. He’ll get hired out there.

IMO it's all about recruiting, and Ansley is better at it than Fair. Hate to lose Fair but this is a good hire.

Start a thread bro!

 

[CountVolcula]

Who did Ansley recruit the last time he was in Knoxville?

 

[MR_VOL]

Just like going after the better players, Coach Pruitt is going after the better coaches.......better players + better coaches = more wins.
