75center Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Again Smart had over a month after the NC to salvage a recruiting class. He could realistically do that and finish the job with Bama. Pruitt has basically 13 days to do that now with the early signing period on Dec 20. Then I would expect Saban to let him go. He's more involved on that side of the ball anyway.

plantmanky Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 He's a dead man walking. They'll be back in the market within 5 years. Wont last 3 years, Tennessee cant wait that long to be relevant again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HammerTime Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 3 of the 4 playoff coaches were hired as first time head coaches at their schools. This... I love when teams try something new instead of the old retread coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needed a new AD that wouldn't schedule them a death sentence moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellcats Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 They'll give Pruitt time if he puts together a good staff like the one mentioned earlier. Tenn. will never be relevant if they don't find someone respectable and stick with him. Kiffen, Jones, Schiano...good gravy UT has bad choice in men. Her mother needs to talk to her.

Bert Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 3 of the 4 playoff coaches were hired as first time head coaches at their schools. Wow, hard to believe that stat but come to think of it, you are correct. I forgot that Clemson was Sweeny's first stint as a HC. I am blanking where came from.

bugatti Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Alabama... He was an assistant at Clemson when he was promoted to the head gig. Was previously at Bama and played there, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futurecoach Posted December 8, 2017 Share Posted December 8, 2017 Saban cut Kiffin lose immediately but kept Smart on and carved out time for him to address Georgia responsibilities while preparing for the playoffs. Will be interesting to see what he does here. He didn't cut Kiffin immediately. Kiffin coached the semifinal game. He got fired the week of the championship game.

It was the year before when he had the bus pull out leaving Kiffin at the stadium, also after the first playoff game I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom 5497 Posted December 15, 2017 Share Posted December 15, 2017 I expect him to have success, the first year is going to be rough, but he is a great recruiter, and from what I have read his staff is shaping up nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
