Pruitt expected to coach Alabama in playoff

Ridiculous. I can't believe the pumpkin would allow this. He needs to be recruiting for us and focusing on evaluating our team and current recruiting class. Early signing is two weeks away and he wants to just skip it?

Who says he isn't? Kirby did the exact same thing two years ago and it didn't seem to hurt their recruiting.

Seems like the playoff is til the end to me, so yes the NC game too.

I get it. People want him here now, and if it were any other school (save for Florida) we might be willing to give it more of a pass.

That being said, he is contractually obligated. He has commitments to those kids. And I think what I like most is Nick Saban wants him to stay through the playoffs instead of immediately starting his new gig with us. That says to me that Saban is that confident in his abilities as a coach that he doesn't want to lose him for this important time. Looking back to last year that was not the case with Kiffin...I understand they hate each other but by a few accounts Pruitt is not one to hold back from Saban.

All that to say I don't like it either, but it is something that I respect.

Probably the closest TN will get to a NC game ever again.

LOL and people are welcoming him with open arms. “Erm, yeah, I’m super excited to be getting a huge raise and I look forward to eventually being your head coach but..uhhh... yea I’ve got some stuff to do. See you in mid-January?”

I say screw Bama, Saban, and their inbreed fans. You have a new job now, embrace it, cause you're the one everyone is looking to in order to right the ship. Guess he's saying screw the early signing period and our early enrollees.

How many times will his name be mentioned during the game? How many times will UT be mentioned in the playoffs when we are not one of the teams playing. He will be recruiting for us during all of this. Him being on national tv showing he can coach is recruiting for us.

Wonderful... So we're about to hire a coach who cares more about Alabama winning then he does us.

There was no early signing period 2 years ago. We have Cade and Alonte who where the foundation of the class and EE's by the way, uncommitted at the time. So, this is an entirely different situation. Especially for us, who cares about UGa or Bama's classes.

The guy is probably smart enough to handle multiple things at once. I have a feeling he wants his transition to be as smooth as possible and will be wearing an orange power T hat as much as he is wearing a crimson A hat during the next few weeks. Relax.

We have a fanbase full of the biggest bunch of crybaby whiners. Protest/revolt when not getting what they want, then crying when Pruitt wants to see through his commitment to his players at Bama.

Do you want a coach that’s doesnt finish his job? I like that he is loyal.
