What exactly does the paragraph about the 86 spring game have to do with CJP and Kirby?A lot of former Bama players say Pruitts better than Kirby [Smart], as far as coaching, Wilson said. The other day, I was reading a story on a former [Alabama] player, and he said, Saban and Pruitt are born to coach. He didnt say that about Kirby.
Theres a reason the 1986 team set a spring-game attendance record: It had pulled off the unthinkable a No. 4 finish after slaughtering No. 2 Miami in the Orange Bowl the previous season.
The 85 team that beat Miami wasnt supposed to do diddly, Wilson said. You just dont know.
Smart cant beat Pruitt.What Ive been saying all along.:clapping:
When rival coaches and LSU Spears praise our hire, I don't see that as a good thing. The last thing any of them want is for Tennessee to have one iota of success, unless they need us to beat someone during a division race.
Luck has nothing to do with it. Barring extraordinary injuries again, a 45 point loss would be a strong indicator that Pruitt isn't any better than Jones.
I was told by several here that coaches don't really control injuries... but Pruitt seems to avoiding them much better than Jones. That's a good sign.

Nah. He's not inheriting a well oiled machine. Most noted that during the fall of Jones. I have no idea if he works out here but the last guy didn't do him any favors and got fired for it.

I think Pruitt could be a better coach than Smart but Smart is sitting in the best recruiting location. The Ga kids want to play for Ga. We wont get the best players from Ga until we consistently beat Ga.
Pruitt needs to find a way to beat Smart with less talent to get the upper hand in recruiting. Then steal the best talent from GA.
What happens when Saban retires? Who gets the talent from AL? It needs to be us, but it will be Smart unless we get the upper hand.
I am not worried about Nicks replacement. He will loose a few games and get run out of town. Bama fans are spoiled.
TN and Ga aren't that far away in talent. Pruitt is trying to figure out which players want to earn playing time and is pushing them. Last year the team quit and it was obvious when they played Georgia and it was embarrassing. Hopefully this year this team will fight and not quit.
Same excuse making. Different names. If he's the right coach then he won't be blown out like Jones was. "Not even close". He will find a way to keep his team competitive.Not even close. Jones was left in much better shape than Pruitt is. Georgia is a much better team in Pruitts first year than Butch's first year. Smart is doing things Richt only dreamed about.
Same faulty argument. Different names.The talent gap between the 2 teams hasnt been this large in a long, long time if ever. There should be zero judgements on Pruitts record this year.
Now that I can agree with to an extent. I wouldn't call a 31-14 loss considering the talent disparity a bad coaching performance.The talent on our team doesnt appear to be in the same stratosphere as UGAs. If we keep it within 21 points, Pruitt is probably going to be pretty damn good in a few years.
