Pruitt waiting until AFTER ESD to hire OC?

[HollowaytoSeivers]

Update:. Santa Claus reportedly contacted concerning the UTOC vacancy. When asked to confirm he would only reply, Ho Ho Ho Merry Christmas!

Might be worth a shot. He does seem to be a good recruiter, look at all the elves he's brought in.

 

[GTBATV]

Appears. Key word - none of us or any of the sports media have the first clue what’s really going on

This is dead on. Seems like all of the media reports are just cannon fodder. No leaks, so they have to fill in the blanks with talking points.

That's what Austin Price says.

Pruitt be like.......

 

[BenGrimm]

That's pretty much it. It's journalists scrambling to appear relevant and the general public wringing it's hands over something that they won't care about 3 days after it's announced

The hand wringing is more entertaining than the search.

I really don’t care how long it takes. Just get the right fit for the HC and the staff. Sexy hire doesn’t always work out. See Bob Shoop.

"Mulligan hire"


I laughed.

 

[VOL_Lyfe]

The hand wringing is more entertaining than the search.

..and will almost certainly be more entertaining that who we actually end up with.

The sky is falling!

The issue with Claus is that he can't start until after December 25th.

That's what Austin Price says.

I wouldn't want recruits to know it's Will Friend either.

He was just talking to Santa Claus for informational purposes

Then why not just announce it? Because if you think all these recruits wont whisper and it get out, i dont know what to say.

Here we go again..... Seriously why are we the only DI school in the country who puts their fans through this nonsense. When will the madness end? lol

 

[Sudden Impact]

I really can't imagine there is any advantage in waiting. I personally would want to know who my coach is going to be before committing.

There are other positions he is recruiting. Not so much hire an OC vs naming the OC he has hired.....
Maybe doing this because the new hire and the team he is leaving requested this and their recruiting maybe affected.
For example, If we announced Kiffin as OC, the recruiting for his team and the recruiting for us Could turn the Apple cart upside down.....

 

[Gatornator]

Does it really matter anymore? Whether or not he announces an OC anytime between Today and ESD, it is not gonna make any difference as far as recruiting this late in the game.

The fans put themselves through the nonsense.

Pruitt is just waiting because our new OC is Sean McVay.

As soon as the Super Bowl is over he'll be announced. That's why it's been so secretive, he actually accepted the job on 11/30 in a Holiday Inn conference room in Branson Missouri. All of the other candidate interviews have just been obfuscation to throw journalists off of the trail, and Pruitt only asked those candidates one question "Do you think you are a better play-caller than Sean McVay?" Since they all answered "no", Pruitt feels really good about this decision.

There is a lot of true to that comment, but at then end of the day as as fan base are we constantly lowering our standards to match what the University keeps throwing our way?

 

[YankeeVol]

I thought he's already hired, we're just not announcing it yet

 

[PACKERVOL]

Your buddy Doug Matthews says Pruitt has his OC, the staff is not leaking any info to anyone and we all should relax.

Yes VolNation relax, ALL IS WELL!!!

If a recruit as been told. (committed recruit that is, don't think an uncommitted would be told) Let him know if he leaks the info, he is out...

LOL

Yep, I could see that now. "we pulled the offer from Johnny 4* QB because he leaked the OC name".

 

[davethevol]

I bet it's Chris Weinke. I'm guessing he was the backup should they strike out, and I think it's pretty evident they struck out or there would have been an announcement at this point.

 

[BeardedVol]

LOL

...After we told him the OC name to get him to commit.

Come on man, it's perfectly logical.
