It was Thomas Brown who whooped Pruitt's arse.

I have always heard there were multiple confrontations between Pruitt and members of the UGA offensive staff...

When Memphis originally cast their net after Fuente left them in 15, it took them one 10 minute phone call with Georgia to realize "Pruitt was too toxic to lead a D1 program"

When he is asked about putting a risk taker vs someone you know will have the ball at the end of the play…I remember during the Dooley years…we didn’t even have ANYBODY back deep to catch punts because they couldn’t. Just damn…

Could be. Thomas Brown is what I heard. Secking actually said it was Brown years ago back not long after Pruitt was hired. I had forgot the name myself. I know a Georgia guy from work that's pretty connected and after Secking said Brown I asked the Georgia guy and he said it was Brown also. Brown played RB for Richt and was the strongest guy on their team when he was there. He said Pruitt bowed up at Richt in a staff meeting and Brown was pretty protective of Richt and put Cornbread on his arse. It's possible Ekeler got into it with Pruitt too, I've heard a third name too but the name escapes me. I know Ekeler was pretty mum about it when asked, but I didn't hear Ekeler's name as a combatant until he was hired here and our fans started saying it.

It only took Memphis 10 minutes to realize that cornbread was not a headbcoach. Fulmer hired him. Worst hire ever. Fulmer worst AD hire ever & that’s saying a lot because TN has had alot of bad ADs.

I only got to go to the Pitt game last year, but I noticed (from section P!) one coach jumping around, slapping heads, high-fiving, etc,. noticeably more than the rest. I was like "Who is this guy? This is awesome!" Turns out, it was Ekeler. The rest of the season watching on TV, you can't help but notice the fire and intensity that this guy has. During my last several years in the Marine Corps, my peers and I had a nickname for guys like that. We called them "Gasoline Suit Guys," natural, energetic and competent leaders who demanded much and praised performance, and elevated everyone. As in, "I'd run through hell in a gasoline suit for that guy." So glad he's on our staff.
