Doug Mathews says Pruitt has made OC Choice

To me, it seems like Briles will end up at FSU. The quotes out of there indicate that UT wanted Briles to commit this weekend before interviewing at FSU and he wouldn't do that. The FSU people seem to think they have him.

Briles apparently gets to bring his guy (the OL coach) or guys with him to FSU. Here we're stuck with Pruitt's bestie Will Friend. Already making the same mistakes insecure Butch made: surrounding himself with his buddies.
 
Interesting how many ppsters don't think that grown men (and women) can't keep a secret. It says a lot about these posters.
 
Wasn't he one of the guys cosigning The MITBeav in the Gruden thread back in the day?
He verified that what the Beav said lined up with some sort of country club stuff (who's the bartender or some goofball thing like that.) He wasn't "cosigning" the claims.

He did say, however, that he and multiple other boosters had been conned by Currie about Gruden being recruited, and he and they were pretty pissed when they found out that they had been played. Last seen he was headed up I-75 to Knoxville to raise hell.
 
Conspiracy theory:

Briles is coming and bringing his OL coach and possibly others.
We don't want to let any more of our offensive coaches go before early signing day so we'll sit on this info until after the ESD paperwork is in.
 
Do you think they could tell a really good recruit please do not say or post anything about this. But if you like here is his number call him... Or would this break some piddly NCAA rule??? Put this way only if it could tip the balance for coming to UT.
Kids will be kids...
 
This morning on his radio show, Coach Mathews said he has been told (most likely by his best friend Fulmer) that Pruitt has his guy who has accepted the job.
But, Mathews said he does not know that name.
Said he doesn’t ask questions like that because he doesn’t want to know things that he can’t use on the air.
Said UT hasn’t made announcement yet “possibly” because the guy is still coaching somewhere else.
He added that this choice has been exclusively Pruitts and that Fulmer and the administration have not interfered.

Take all that with whatever grains of salt you wish. I’m just passing on what I heard.

I knew itd be Friend?! Wait you said is coaching elsewhere?

Sounds about right. We lost again.

I thought about this as well, but it would be an awful way to start with those players. Lying to them would cause more harm than good.
