Be the first one to raise my hand and say I was one of those that mentioned head coach and grantham in the same breath.
Wonder why I said that? I have my reasons and have stated them more than once on this board over a long period of time. Been back and forth with Richt, tried my best to "get along" with him. Pretty much lost it with Richt when he started using words like "consistency". Feel he should have gone to the dictionary before using the word.
Another part of the conversation. Why would we bring in a coach and pay him as much as the previous defensive coordinator. Same time having never coached a down in Athens, Pruitt makes many thousands more than Mike Bobo who has been around for a long time. Is there not something that needs to be looked at? Do the higher ups think that Mike Bobo is not as qualified to coach as Pruitt? Lots of gaps in the way Richt, McGarity and others view structure in Athens.
Could Pruitt become the head coach? With the lack of leadership that I have seen over more than one or two years in Athens, could be mission impossible. Bet this, Pruitt will not hang around long, he is as said before, on a mission. As sflanagan21 said, has yet to show his stuff . . . . in Athens. Pruitt brings a totally different "style" of coaching and recruiting to the Classic City, from where I sit, much needed.
