Unlike the last three coaches, the more I see of Pruitt the better I feel

Thanks again, at my age, memory can and does fail at times.😁

^^^^^^ A hundred times!!!!!

A coach who wants to be successful at Alabama will not want to follow Saban. The expectations would be out the roof for the first coach. What Saban has accomplished, we'll probably never see again in our life time.

Well considering Pruitt worked and was born in alabama where fulmer is generally disliked, I think it's a valid observation. He never said he despises him now. Do you like Steve Spurrier?

Sounds like all the other gump bandwagon fans.

He did enough to not get fired.

He lost enough to get fired.

Nobody knows what Pruitt is gonna do except for Pruitt. He might wanna build his own legacy here and who in their right mind would rather live in Tuscaloosa than Knoxville on top of that.

Selling point #1

If Pruitt is the next Bama coach, that would mean we won at least one NC with him, abd that is fine with me.

I think the cornbread gif is probably a bigger positive to the program than the last three coaches combined.

Despite being a big Fulmer fan, I was decidedly unimpressed with the Pruitt hire. But by this time in their tenure Coach Freshwater and delivered the Pahokee Package, Dooley had washed us with Showergate and Butch was the ringleader in his circus of cliches. The flush of initial optimism once they reached campus (except Kiffin which was always going to end in disaster), Stooley and Botch from the start were metriculating to the status of former head coaches in my eyes.

Maybe I started from from a different place with Pruitt but it's different this time. His "I will confront them" after the Orange and White Game is just light years from "Looking for Rommel" or 366, bricks, Life Champions. Recruiting looks poised in the right direction. I have more confidence the team will be SEC ready.

We got to see what happens on Fall Saturdays but for the first time in a decade a coach is not disappointing me moments after he arrives on campus.

Kiffin was like a glass of cool spring water for a program dying on a sand dune.

There was an article earlier this year stating that very powerful donors to Alabama's program would never allow Pruitt to return because he became head coach of a bitter rival.

Bill Battle became Bama's AD.

If he does a good enough job to be the next in line to follow the most successful HC in CFB history, I will take it !

While I agree with this post.

There is no glory in following a legend. You can do no better, only match it. You can be forever remembered for "turning UT around" rather than "riding Sabans coat tails"
