stoops was very good, but when he made adjustments he was not great at doing them on the fly. And we would tend to help lose some games with adjustments to late. Pruitt was , in my mind, much better at making d adjustments on the fly. Fixing things within a couple series as opposed to a half. Stoops sometimes wouldnt change what was obviously not working in some games till hallway in the 3rd quarter. Pruitt was fast. And because of that i can say. I am not 100% sure we win the title with stops over pruitt. I know the stealing signs crap. But the adjustments made were able to stop a 21-3 game from getting way out of control with some stops and a turnover
but all season in slow starts pruitt fixed it fast. Stoops never fixed it that fast. And with us going down as fast as we did in the ncg. We fixed it fast and ended up winning. We may very very well have won no matter what. But i am honestly not sure 100% we win against auburn had stoops still been the dc. Might have taken to long to fix things
with all that said. I am thrilled we won a title. I cant hate the guy with that fact. But i really think giving someone such a chance and even changing your contract to help your coaches and coordinators, when a team is willing to match and you just got a ring is shady. Think you owe the school a little something. But then again maybe the fact he was only there for a year and though he would move soon was him actually trying to help a bi by getting out early and not putting a 3-4 year system in that would need to be changed if he were to leave then. His scheme was tough. But someone what vanilla. Blitz from the dbs more. Slightly more aggressive. But nothing revolutionary. Jimbo can find someone in the similar mold who will be sure to want to stick around and stay on the team and help 2.0 biggest part that sucks is recruiting. Nothing major. But we are prob out of it for humphrey now, still have a top 6 ish class,but sucks as we may have a couple guys swing away and will make it another year pushed back on 2015 recruits and we were making inroads in with and will hope that 2016 finally has us some relationships for a top class again
not gonna hate. Not thrilled. But we are national champs and he is replaceable
overall. We won the title. He didnt screw us as far as taking the job right before bowl game or right before nsd and the season. Good luck to him. But i really think he is going t be a great coach and more disapointed we wont have him aen anythiung. Deoending on our hire. I ay also be thrilled.
