Is there bad blood between Pruitt and Smart?

[DonDiego]

I've read that the two can't stand each other. Hyams reports that Cade's new attorney is blaming Georgia for the denial by the NCAA. Pruitt needs to stomp a mudhole in Smart's azz.

That is obvious. Smart did it to Cox, then Gibbs, now Mays.

No surprise, really. Who would go along with a transfer waiver to an in-conference rival?

Smart is a dick regardless.

Kirby is a vacuum cleaner...he SUCKS.

 

[Devo182]

Also wonder if Sankey is involved. He is yet to let an sec undergrad get a waiver.

 

[Jaws]

Nobody likes Kirby, so probably.

Kirby Dumb is not that smart.

 

[KnoxRealtorVOL]

He’s probably the current coach I dislike the most, even more than Muschamp. He just strikes me as a little man syndrome type of guy.

 

[JohnnyJava]

If he is involved in trying to stop transfers then UT needs to publicly call him out and use his practices against him in recruiting.

Smart is an arrogant coach who had a talented roster handed to him.

He’s honestly nothing special.

I mean he did inherit a talented roster, but he's also recruited even better than Mark Richt.

If there wasn't bad blood there is now.

 

[tennesseeduke]

Time to curb stomp Kirby and the dogs!

 

[tennesseeduke]

Let me get this straight. It’s okay that Wolfe transferred there but Mays can’t? Also how in the Hell does JT Daniels get a yes and Mays doesn’t?

 

[VFFL@THE BEACH]

I started top post this in the practice thread because of the impression that I got from CJP.

In his first address to the media CJP made a comment about the fact he has written a letter of support for every UT player that has entered the portal. I got the impression it was a subtle way of saying smart didn't write the letter for Mays.

 

[tennesseeduke]

Buck Ga and the NCAA!

 

[UTwild82]

Didn't Pruitt drive Kirbys wife to the hospital when she was in labor? Seems like I remember some such story.

Seems like Smart should be a little grateful and not be a complete petty sh*t.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Have you seen Smart's hair? Pruitt used to slap a bit**.

 

[LeBleu]

I wonder if this is a part of what Atlantavol was talking about? "The focus will be on Mays and the toxic environment he was put in. "

 

[Tnphil]

Based on what I've read from Bama fans over the past 2 seasons a big majority of them have posted that Pruitt was the better DC over Kirby and their defense hasn't been the same since Pruitt left.

My cat could recruit to Georgia

The success he’s had is underwhelming other than one year with the talent he’s had. Think he’s a good defensive coach but an average head coach. People give him too much credit

"Toxic Environment" is the last straw. It's something that's hard to argue. One person's toxic environment is another's walk in the park. IMO, he'll be allowed to play with attorney pressure.

How is 3 straight trips to the SEC CG with a chance to go to the playoffs underwhelming? Bama and LSU weren't exactly garbage the last 2 seasons.

Judging from AV’s little tidbits of info in the RF I think there is a lot of bad blood, but they keep it below the surface. It feels like UT and UGA are really getting after each other on the recruiting front even more than in the past.
