Lot's of great debate here. IMO, if Bama calls on Pruitt to be their head coach, there is ZERO doubt that he will go.
Following a Legend? Sure he would, he's making lemonade out of lemons at UT. His best trait right now, is how humble he is. If he went back, his press conf. would recognize Saban and tell them he will be his own man.
UT is rolling, why go back? I really hope that this is the case, but Bama has a huge (at the present) bulit in recruiting pipeline than UT. I used to think, 'why would the kids at Alabama be better". The fact is, they have better HS football in bama than Tennessee does. It just is easier (at the present) to get better recruits there.
Bama prefers Dabo! Maybe this happens. IMO this is the hardest to predict. I suspect when UT get back to rolling on the recruiting trail, Clemson will fall back a bit. Why? Pruitt is the reason. So this is a 50/50 toss-up for me.
