Agreed.

Pruitt has either 8 or 9 years of coaching experience at Alabama. Smart has 9.
Their overall coaching experience is about the same. Both somewhere around 20 years.

Harbaugh brought him up here for an interview after Durkin left. He chose the Bama job instead.
He's got a lot of experience coaching in the SEC and recruiting in its footprint. You never know if a coordinator will successfully transition to head coach, but this looks like a very good hire, far better than a Tee Martin experiment.

Change "Herm Edwards" to "Brady Hoke" and this is exactly what they said about us in 2007.

Wasn't he the coach on that MTV reality HS Football show a few years back?
December 6th, 2017 at 10:32 PM ^
December 6th, 2017 at 10:34 PM ^
10 years huh? Sounds about right. Probably the last thing I watched on MTV.

So does this mean they are going to hire Jon Gruden as their Offensive Coordinator?

both sides of the ball are equally important. Key is to hire someone good to run the other side of the ball for any coach, first timer or not.

he's done a pretty good job at Arizona, would fit the syle Oregon likes to play and now has experience at a PAC12 school that has to rely on recruiting California. Could be a good fit.

there are two kinds of people:
1.) One witnesses an assault on a child and reports it later : this person is sumbag
2.) the other witnesses an assault on a child and breaks it up immediately : this is a good person
no in between here
December 7th, 2017 at 1:24 PM ^
I think his point is that we don't know for certain that he witnessed an assault on a child.
December 7th, 2017 at 1:42 PM ^
that helped the perpetrator. Schiano was accused of inaction.
December 6th, 2017 at 11:44 PM ^
December 7th, 2017 at 1:47 PM ^
Donors, the administration, non-fans were all opposed. You want a new coach to get a good reception and hit the ground running recruiting, building ties and support. Schiano was going to be dogged by bad press for who knows how long.

I read the thread title as Jeremy Piven. That would have been a sight to see on the sidelines.

Tennesse having an actual football coach just seems wrong now.
December 7th, 2017 at 8:38 AM ^

Hiring a coordinator from your big rival who happens to be dominating your conference right now? I could see this working out well to them.

Can he beat Florida? If he can't, Tennessee will be right back in this position in about 3-4 years.
December 7th, 2017 at 12:22 PM ^
Seems like Tennessee just hired the younger, southern version of Greg Schiano.
