Steve is reporting

[TheStateUofMS]

Pruitt is "leaning" towards the HC job at State and "telling his friends."

Nothing official yet.


ETA: he's reporting what Tuscaloosa radio is reporting. So there's that. Reporting on other reports I guess

 

[57stratdawg]

I'm fine with that. Sign him up.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

That's sort of thin.

It's Pruitt's Bama audition. He should be "motivated" to overachieve for the next 3-4 years. Maybe even beat his Miyagi (wouldn't that be a nice thing?).

The truth is probably closer to Sexton floating this rumor making the TN folks up their offer.

 

[rynodawg]

Yep, suspecting Sexton is the only real winner in all this. And after Pruitt heads to UT, Sexton will undoubtedly have some other coordinator in the cue for everyone remaining to compete for. This is like a dream offseason for him.

If true, we need to be putting Lane Kiffin’s name out there. Put the pressure back on Pruitt

 

[Shamoan]

im not happy about the hire, but i can put it behind me, swallow my pride and give the man a shot. hopefully, he is up for the task.

 

[Original48]

This is my thinking. If dude ain’t scared to coach at MSU against his mentor every year I’m all for it. Tells me a lot.

Let’s hope Gene doesn’t call and ask his secretary if he’s a Scientologist.

If UT is going after Pruitt, nobody on Nashville radio knows.

 

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

It's not official until someone calls him Pruitts

 

[DesotoCountyDawg]

No but he should call and ask what are his favorite pizza toppings.**

 

[ShrubDog]

ITs a done deal folks. Pruitts a dawg.

 

[Strike.sixpack]

Sexton is Kiffin's agent as well. Don't think you can put pressure on Sexton by using him

You get the point. Use another name

 

[Tin Cup Cowboy]

Yes, old school.

 

[TheStateUofMS]

I'm assuming you're just hoping this is true. Are you hearing more than innuendo?

 

[BulldogBlitz]

We can see if Hillary will take sexton out.

 

[IBleedMaroonDawg]

I would be good with this IF we also give the man the checkbook to bring in proven coordinators and recruiters to support him.

I want a CEO head coach like Saban that makes the laws and lets his men do their jobs.

I would much rather have a solid, complete staff than a splash name head coach.

 

[SLUdog]

Wikipedia has been changed.....

[BulldogBlitz]

Or just seeing who else jumps.

 

[CoolDawg]

This sounds way too much like a desperation rush job. Very underwhelming if this is the hire. Not that many people have beaten Saban, but has he ever lost to any of his former assistant coaches?

MSU HC statement in his entry linked to bogus source. Wikipedia is a great resource when linked to reputable sources; this one isn't.

 

[SLUdog]

I wasn't saying it was reputable and noticed the source listed.
