Ever since Pruitt was hired as the new coach at Tennessee it has been speculated that he would leave for Bama when they come calling after Saban leaves. I was kind of 50/50 on that, thinking if he has built a top notch program by then why leave and go try to fill shoes that I don't think any other coach in America could fill. We all hate Bama but if we are being non-biased, Saban is the greatest coach since Bear Bryant. That brings me to this coaching search and how its probably always going to be in the back of Pruitt's mind if this scenario of Bama comes calling plays out in the distant future. I know rumors have been flying in every direction but Trey Wallace and Dan Harralson talked about it in a podcast that the admin (nobody can pinpoint it to a specific person) did in fact derail Pruitt's hire of Freeze. That can't sit well with him knowing every hiring decision he makes in the future is going to have to be signed off by people who have never placed one foot on Shields-Watkins Field.
Pretty sure he was just being sarcastic because of all the negativity floating around.It's where I got my degree so I will always be a fan of this "horrible" university. Feel free to pack up and leave at any time
If Saban leaves anytime soon, Pruitt would have significant competition from other ex-Alabama coaches who have proven themselves already. I believe it would be a long shot for Pruitt to get the gig.Ever since Pruitt was hired as the new coach at Tennessee it has been speculated that he would leave for Bama when they come calling after Saban leaves.

I like that. I have been pretty adamant about my feelings concerning the negativity on this site. I was being VERY sarcastic and decided to not use blue font for effectPretty sure he was just being sarcastic because of all the negativity floating around.
Either that or he was dropped as a baby.
Down some stairs...
And rolled out a window...
Three stories up...
Onto concrete...
Twice...
