You can’t rebuild a program while training a coach...

[Smokey Dog]

Here’s proof, look at Alabama between Stallings and Saban: Mike Shula, Mike DuBose, and Fran (at least Fran had some HC experience). It goes without saying about Dooley and Butch. JP is in an impossible position.

Say what?

I cannot wholeheartedly agree with this statement. When all else fails do not abandon what got you to this point in your career. It’s football sure it’s on a big stage but end of the day it’s football. If you pride yourself in a certain brand of the football then play it. Coach it. Don’t change your brand. Saturday vs Georgia State was soft. Soft would have got Pruitt’s ass fired at Bama. Pruitt has to be better than this. His learning curve needs to be be quick as in ASAP.

Impossible...I’d disagree, but things had better change and change quick...like, this weekend quick..

There needs to be a 180, but I don’t see it happening with the lack of leadership on this team. Kids, athletes, all of us learn by making mistakes. We SHOULD have been talented enough, coached up enough, to be making mistakes and still be 3-0...but won’t be.

Choose some starters. Choose a back up. Give both ample opportunity....then go with the one who makes the most plays. Not complicated...

Dickey did it quite well.

Dickey did it quite well.

Dickey had experience in a rebuilding effort while at Arkansas under Broyles.

When we hired Pruitt, we chose someone who knew nothing about coaching in a situation like this.

Different time completely. Wanna pull another meaningless stat? Only one coach has won the sec after not playing for it in his first two years...CPF.

It appears he knows nothing about being a coach period

Typical Saban defensive coach.
