Pruitt is a CB/Safety coach. Where would Mel coach? I don't think he really wants to coach ILB position. I'm somewhat confused to why would he take DC job at Georgia, I mean I know he wanted the DC job at alabama, but Mel was rumored to want to go back to NFL... the only way I can think of him taking DC job at Georgia is because No one really called him about DC job in NFL. I hate that we lose Tucker to Georgia, but We're in a good position with Pruitt. We just need to find ILB coach that can truly coach those guys up. I think we'll see hiring of ILB coach by next week.

At this point CKS has hired 8 of 9 on the field coaches.

I have no clue how Oakland's D, specifically the ILB performed this year. Any guesses as to Sal Sunseri being willing to come back to work for CNS?

Chance of that happening is nil. none. At this point, dont expect former coaches to come back to CNS for ILB job. I would think Saban wants young fresh coach who can probably do same as Luposi can. Another thing is, I wonder if Luposi will coach ILB and they promote someone within the support staff?

Weird that no one else is running with this story. The AJC should have had something hours ago.

I liked how our db's performed when Pruitt was coaching them up.

Looks like we will need to find a middle linebackers coach. Pruitt I'm assuming will resume coaching the DB's like he did before. Anyone know of any early candidates? Maybe the Hoover head coach?

Hoovers head coach is an offensive guy

Freddie Roach, James Willis, come to mind for LBs. If Willis has his personal life in order.

I just wish these announcements could be made AFTER the game. I hope this won't cause any distractions.

CKS going to UGA was a HUGE distraction against Michigan St.

I'm confident our guys will do their job, no matter their future job.

Georgia is going to be the Alabama of the SEC East. They're going to be a big attraction to recruits in the future.

Off subject somewhat, but how many of Saban's protégés are HC or OC/DC in the SEC now?

They do have a piece asserting that the tea leaves are pointing at Tucker or Tosh.

Coach Tucker, don't let the ball hit you in the back on the way out...
