No, because he has to wait fir it to be reported elsewhere, then he regurgitates the “news”. He has quite a scheme going.

Question was is there a reliable media member. Rucker may not break most of the news but at least if he writes it it's typically true.

John Brice is reliable as well.

Surely Pruitt will not bring in a guy with ZERO college OC experience at a time when we need a proven OC to get the offense on track. Hopefully Propst is coming in just to say hi or is excepting a role that could lead to a path as an OC way down the road.

It’s not Propst!!

Just my 2 cents. So many here freaking about no OC announcement. Same as those saying Pruitt would finish weak in recruiting. For a 5-7 finish, he did ok. I give Mathews the benefit of the doubt. Just because he said the OC was 95% done, and just because it hasn’t yet been announced, doesn’t mean he’s wrong. It may just mean that the powers that be are keeping cards close to chest, and are most likely not as concerned about public outcry as YOU are. Patience grasshopper.

That Sark knew that Sark was fired with 3-4 games to play?

Interviewing while trying to make the playoffs? It would have been a major violation of his contract with Falcons.

If that path is correct, then we don't want Sark, Pruitt, and whomever told Doug.

Agents can talk to head hunters. There is a connection with Pruitt and Sark and Sark has made it clear he wanted back in the college game.

It won’t matter who is hired. Matthews can say “See, I told you it was almost finished. _______ was the guy all along I just couldn’t say his name.”

DM is the same guy that talked up Butch’s last class and how good we looked in spring and fall camps. 0-8 SEC thanks for the inside info.

Mathews wasn’t the only one blindsided by Butch Jones coaching impotence. As for recruiting, on paper these guys looked good.
What bothers me about the OC search is that folks are connecting dots to equate this to the same thing as the Schiano cluster “you know what”. Currie, Davenport and all the others in charge are gone. To just assume it’s on that scale is ridiculous. It might end up like that, but at this stage, it’s not. Don’t judge until the chips fall where they may.

He also was the ONLY guy consistently advocating that Tennessee extend Jones prior to the 0-8 2017 season....despite the fact that Lyle had 3 years remaining on his contract. Doug has definitely lost his fastball.

If I have learned anything as a member of VN, it's that your post is 100% correct, but since we haven't heard about any more interviews being conducted or prospective candidates being contacted in the last two weeks (those always leak), I tend to think that an offer has been made and accepted, and for whatever reason, the announcement has had to wait. Still, to go 5 weeks at this time of the year without a coordinator is not normal.

I’m starting too think Osovet will be the new OC which is why the supposed “insiders” know absolutely nothing.

I remember the Sports Illustrated write up on Osovet being a "rising star" when Pruitt hired him. If he is the choice though, I don't understand why they wouldn't just go ahead and announce it. A perception is growing that nobody wants the job, and that is not a good look.

At this point we should be glad it’s a dead period in recruiting. Now that ESD has passed and the NFL season is over and bowl games are finishing up it would be so easy to go to recruits and say “ you don’t want to go there, it’s a mess and they will waste your talent and cost you a chance to go to the nfl. They can’t even hire an OC and it’s because no one wants to go coach in that mess. That place is a career ender for coaches and young players like you”

If there is no hire by this weekend then we can all be assured it’s because we can’t get anyone worth a darn. Top choices will be going fast, and even second and third choices will be all off the table in a couple weeks. Other teams sure aren’t gonna sit on their butts waiting to hire their coaches like Pruitt and Co seem to be.

If that’s the case either two things are going on. A. Pruitt and Fulmer keep getting told “no not interested” or B. The admin keeps saying no to guys they wanna interview... maybe Pruitt will make himself the OC maybe that’s why all this time and no word no prospects or nothing...

I'm guessing it's a combination of the job has lost some of it's luster over the years, Pruitt hasn't found someone he can work with, and some OC's aren't interested in working with Pruitt
who thinks they can be over rated.

I mean does this inspire people?
