If Pruitt is not fired, who needs to be replaced on the staff?

I think the following individuals need to be gone.... Chaney, Friend, and Wienke. Replacements and staff position changes would be the following:

Head Coach - Jeremy Pruitt
Co-Offensive Cord./Quarterbacks/Asst. Head Coach - Tee Martin
Co-Offensive Cord./Tight Ends- Joe Osovet
Defensive Cord/ Defensive Backs- Derrick Ansley
Running Backs/ST Cord.- Jay Graham
Wide Receivers - Bryan McClendon (Oregon/Former Georgia/South Carolina)
Offensive Line - Ed Warinner (Michigan/Former Ohio St.)
Defensive Line- Brick Haley (Missouri/Former LSU)
Outside Linebackers- Shelton Felton
Insider Linebackers/Recruiting Cord.- Brian Niedermeyer
Secondary/Safeties- Aazaar Abdul-Rahim (Maryland/Former Alabama)

No offense....does it really matter? It's a band-aid fix at someone else's expense. The HC that hired the guys getting fired gets another year with a new group of scapegoats.

I can't think of an example of a coach failing this poorly, re-staffing and finding sustained success. It's just putting off the inevitable, and everyone knows it.

If they allow Pruitt to fire Chaney, and pay him $1.97 million in buyout, then Pruitt should be fired as well.

Besides, Pruitt isn't promoting Tee to OC. If he were allowed to fire Chaney, he'd do the most Pruitt thing possible, and hire Mike Bobo on a 3-year $1.5 million/year contract.

2 things with your summation:
1) For the love of all things, let's get Nieds off D and back onto the Offense
2) Co-OCs ???...NEVER have I seen anywhere that has worked at all...pass

It would cost about 9-12 Million to re work this staff, logic says financially its best to go ahead and cut ties butttttttttttttttttttttttttttt Tennessee logic says let a lame duck coach run up more debt

Yep. A staff overhaul is only going to add to the total cost of firing Pruitt in 2021 or 2022 (if we are dumb).

Agree with your first point but to your second one LSU, Clemson, Arizona State, TCU are some schools off the top of my head that have used co-ocs successfully in recent times. I agree having one is better but 2 can work sometimes.

Edit: Agree with everyone else though, with Pruitt it doesn't matter.

While I agree and Pruitt, again, made mental errors we played much closer to a team than any game prior to Florida. So that’s at least some sort of positive.

Good point about the Co-OCs, but...
LSU - Orgeron learned his lesson from the first go at HC and stays fairly hands-off on the offense
Clemson - Swinney knows how to manage the O by letting people do their jobs
Az State - Herm Edwards, again a strong HC that know how to manage his people and get results
TCU - Patterson is again one of those that knows how to and lets his people do their jobs

See a trend ???

31-19...and you never got the sense we were ever really in it. New blood at the QB position helped, but even that decision is fraught with questions over how it was handled. Certainly nothing was done by the staff to dispel any negative impressions.

With Arizona State I was thinking of the previous HC, didnt know Herm was doing it too. I agree with your point on the HCs though.
