He did get lazy with recruiting, and also made key errors with staff hires. But the cogent detail is that at one point in time, he outperformed just about everybody, as in every coach in the country, in recruiting. It led to a NC.i can agree with your stats. but we all know Fulmer was fired for getting lazy in recruiting after 2003, especially in the QB department. also, Fulmer had 2 coordinators for a decade and a stable administration in Dickey. unheard of in todays game.
I hope Pruitt is the guy. Never even for a minute did I buy in either with Rommel or the bricklayer; I was not sold on Florida Atlantic when he was hired, briefly was almost on the train when he brought us within a play of beating the eventual national champs with two walk-ons on the OL, and was not the slightest bit surprised when he left in the night. There were glimmers last year of real actual coaching, the first we've seen of that in ten years. But recruiting is as important for Pruitt as it is for Saban or Smart or Fisher, and until Pruitt pulls in a #1 class, it definitively cannot be said that he has even equalled Fulmer in recruiting, much less surpassed him. He would have to pull in multiple #1 classes in a two-year timespan to outdo Fulmer.
