If it’s Pruitt or Tucker then they absolutely cannot coach in the playoff

I don’t want to see any of this coach in the playoff nonsense. You can’t be the head coach of the Vols and actively be working to get our rival or an in division foe a National Championship. You need to hit the ground recruiting now.

Venables I’d be more forgiving of, since he’s out of conference.

Signing day is before the playoffs so I would say once they sign its over at Alabama or Georgia and Clemson

I agree. You have recruiting, plus our young men have been leaderless for nearly a month. If hired tomorrow, they should go to work, tomorrow.

I agree but I remember Kirby Smart coached in Bama's game after he took the Ga job. Don't think many were too happy about that

Can't speak for UGA, but Bama's contracts require assistants to coach out the playoffs. Bama will make concessions like giving them office space dedicated to recruiting for the new school. I would imagine UGA has similar language since Smart actually went thru it in 2015.

If so....that answers that I guess. Is that pretty standard?

Interesting the dislike for Pruitt, Tucker, and Steele. Yet two are DCs for teams playing for the NC, and one lost out by a game - a rematch that went the other way.

The one thing to consider is the new December signing day. Expecting a coach to stay with his old team until the season is 100% over was not optimal but manageable before. But it's borderline crazy now if the new team wants to hang onto recruits.

If that provision is in Alabama assts' contracts, you could probably make an argument that the specific provision should be ruled a changed circumstance and that it is impracticable to maintain now. The provision was written and designed without knowledge that a new early period would be created. Due to this unforeseen changed circumstance, it is impracticable for an assistant coach to remain at the old school during one of the most important 3 day periods of the year.

It doesn't mean he can't start working for Tennessee.
Kirby worked for both Georgia and Bama at same time

I don't like having the coach stick around in his old job. He needs to be on the UT campus around our current players and doing his job.

It isn’t like Kirby though. Bama is our rival. The head coach of UT actively working to give Bama a new national title while he’s the head coach at UT is just wrong on so many levels.
