Might be on commit watch or some other big news coming. Austin Price started a thread and didn’t say anything but just a gif that has a rep for being used when something good is going on.

It’s been up for a while and there’s a lot of posts in the thread, so it might be revealed what it is but I’m actually busy today and haven’t had a chance to see.

You’re late. The news is that Wright canceled his visit to Ga and he hinted he might do something this week

I do think Pruitt would like to bring on Propst in some capacity. If it weren't for the NCAA rules, I think Pruitt would hire Propst as an analyst and see where it goes. The reality is, analysts are on the sidelines and do much more than they're intended to do, and the NCAA has been passive about it. Saban has been masterful at using this strategy to inflate his staff. JJP just makes hiring Propst a bit trickier.

I would be 100% stoked if he brought Probst on in an analyst role. One more year and he can.

Sadly it’s true but we do have more money to throw around but no body is biting. It wouldn’t surprise me if Helton was dogging Pruitt If a potential candidate called him and asked why he left after one year and took a 400k Pay cut.

Just because you’re a great coordinator doesn’t mean that translates to being a head coach at all. It has nothing to do with losing the games. It’s the way his team completely quit. Blame the players all you want but that falls back on the coach too.

Also he hired Helton and couldn’t get a long with him. He ran him off whether that is for better or worse.

He also fired Gillespie is a better recruiter and RB coach than Weinke.

I’m not saying I’m done with Pruitt or i don’t think he can win but he has to be better for us to win games. What he’s done so far isn’t cutting it.

Well this sucks. Bamboozled again.

There's little advantage to UT holding off announcing a new OC so he can receive a bonus at another school. Bowl bonuses aren't that big for assistants and if a coach's contract is set to expire at the end of the year, the remaining salary due will be around two weeks pay (and it's usually a % of that). For highly-paid OCs, that's probably under $10K-- small potatoes to UT.

The real cost of a deferred announcement is the potential loss of early signees, especially offensive playmakers who'll want to know how they're going to fit into a new offensive scheme.

Could there not be buyout implications as far as certain dates? I mean what if the buyout drops by 50% if the coach is employed on a certain date?

It's not really much insight. We're just dealing with a new HC finding his way. It's positive that Pruitt is adapting and evolving and not as positive how it's playing out with fans and the media. Given UT's past coaching searches, the process and public perception could have been managed better, but media relations and PR aren't UT's strength.

IMO, they are doing fine right now with how they are handling it. It just looks bad because our previous searches were crap. Info got leaked constantly and a lot of good coaches, from what I can tell, wish for news to be kept private. Fans have gotten lazy and spoiled/privileged with these past searches. Realizing that and handling that may be what you are talking about, though.

I want Pruitt to succeed. That means he has to learn. That takes time and he is showing the willingness to grow, learn, and adapt to the culture of being a HC.

LSU hired Ed Orgeron....... they are still a better program.

as far as wins/losses go over hte past decade, there's a lot of programs that fall in that category.

Cat's post also stated we CAN'T compete with FSU. are you now saying we can't compete with LSU?

cause, we haven't competed w/anyone at the highest level of college football in a long time.

it's the notion that "we can't" that is just lazy. we can't compete with FSU, who hired a head coach with an overall losing record?

really?

or a program that whiffed on their first choice, twice in consecutive years, only to promote ed orgeron cause they were out of options, while they watch their first choices head to aTm and Texas a year later?

gimmie a break.
