Understanding Jeremy Pruitt's philosophical difference with Jimmy Brumbaugh

“That’s the system that he knows and he believes in – the head coach says run his play whether it’s offense or defense – if you like your job then you are going to do it.”

I feel we are seeing this, as this offense looks nothing like a normal Chaney offense. Of course Pruitt himself has always said he hears every play call and then decides whether to override it or not.

He was a 'savant', knowing what Auburn was going to do before the ball was snapped when he did it last year..

How quickly he became a micro managing, meddling fool....

Agenda, tone, and context are lovely b*tches, right?

In an overview, if Pruitt makes calls for linebackers and defensive linemen, and Ansley adjusts to the secondary based off what the third-year head coach does, this is an example of Brumbaugh having philosophical differences with the scheme. Within the system, Pruitt can ultimately overrule the defensive line, as well as the inside and outside linebacker coaches, and ultimately the secondary if needed.

Explains why they can't get lined up or get substitution penalties or have to call timeouts on the defense.

Sounds like they have 3 people trying to call the defense.

Maybe if they add a couple more coaches to the equation they can figure out how to defend the middle of the field eventually

I am going to assume, wrongly maybe, that this is not a revolutionary idea and that our staff is not the first or last to employ this philosophy.. @de1conley, any ideas on this...

I actually don't care if a HC chooses to call plays on one side of the ball or the other. I am not against Pruitt. I've moved from thinking he might be the guy to back on the fence and maybe leaning against him being the guy. But I like him and would like to see him succeed.

I don't think it's uncommon for defenses to take assignments as position groups. That being said everyone has to be on the same page or coverages and assignments are blown.

There needs to be one voice on play calling. Have Ansley call the plays and Pruitt can overrule if necessary. It’s that simple. Seems like this would cause a lot of confusion and leave open the possibility for major defensive breakdowns. No wonder our defense seems lost sometimes.

I would say very much, because from hearing Pruitt talk, he wants a qb with no turnovers, which jg has not had many up till a few games ago. He wants to control the clock, run run and pass. But jg hardly ever throws slants any more, we did some last year with Jennings, but seldom if any now, its mostly towards the sidelines. I say Pruitts name is all over the offensive play calling. And also saying who plays qb.

It doesn’t take a “savant” to guess the same six plays Gus runs
