Didn't hear Kirk, but my friends and family in Athens said there were stories that Pruitt was a disruptive influence on the staff. Earlier in the season when things started coming apart, word was he was lobbying heavily with key boosters to oust Richt and give him the job.
Also other stories floating around that I won't get into. Needless to say, that staff was pretty dysfunctional at the end.
Heard the the same on AJC board.
