Think Coach Pruitt Would Love To Pull A LK?

[JohnWardForever]

I was just thinking how cool it would be for Pruitt to be like Kiffin ONE TIME and say---"As long as I'm Coaching Tennessee, the Vols won't lose to Vanderbilt again." I'm sure he's thinking that.

I don’t think Pruitt has to say it, he just does it.

I don’t think Pruitt has to saying, he just does it.

Naw Really? lolol. I said I bet he was thinking that.

I hope not because that would be embarrassing. UGA is one thing but vandy?

I think Jeremy Pruitt would leave for Alabama so fast it would make your head spin if offered the head football coaching job

If Pruitt wins 8 or more games next year and Saban hangs it up, he gone.

Sadly I agree

 

[The Original Fade]

Sadly I agree

And I wouldn’t blame him one bit

As long as he doesn't pull a Kiffin and leave in the middle of the night.

Sadly I agree

Nope. Not a big enough name for Bama.

Of course he would, he doesn't make any bones about it. He's a lifelong bama boy and would leave in the middle of night.

I don't think bama will be offering but if they did he wouldn't even have to think about it.

I think Jeremy Pruitt would be a target for Alabama in that situation because I think Dabo Swinney will stay at Clemson

I could handle that as long as Phil Fulmer was given prior notice so he could get his ducks in a row. I wouldn't want him to leave like Lane Kiffin did.

Maybe. But 8 wins in Knoxville won't stir the pot in Tuscaloosa. Win the East and 11 games....maybe.

I don't think Dabo could stand to see anyone other than Himself as the next Bama coach. He has done all he can for Clemson. EGOTIST to the 9th degree .

If he gets this team on a sustainable winning track he would be one of the most popular men in the state. If he went back to Bama he would immediately face tremendous pressure to win a NC now and every year with every inbred wishing him gone or dead with every loss. At Tn he faces pressure to win a lot of games and maybe a NC every once in a while but not of the same magnitude IMO. Our inbreds tend to be a little more in control. It may come down to whether the AD gives him what he needs to win and doesn't try to micromanage the program. Another thing that may weigh into the decision is if his wife would prefer to live in Knoxville. If mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy. A lot of things will play into his decision if he has to make one even though Bama may be his dream job, dreams change.
Sometimes returning to coach your alma mater doesn't work out. Ask Barry Odom or yet to be determined Scott Frost.

I really thought that was where he was going.

There are plenty of reasons why Dabo wouldn’t want the Bama job.

You mean like Dooley leaving for Georgia and Butch taking the Michigan job? I love how some people live continuously in fantasy land.

I feel sorry for whoever takes that job after Saban leaves. Good luck!

That’s funny. That’s exactly what I thought this thread was about based on the title. And I agree.

You don’t want to be the guy that follows Saban. You want to be the guy that follows the guy they run out of there for not living up to the unrealistic expectations left from the Saban era.
