Lupoi is a Cal guy who came to Alabama to learn from Saban, not Pruitt. I would be shocked to hear that he is following Pruitt unless he is not offered the DC job. Of course, if he is not offered the DC job, all bets are off.
Nope - don't wish any ill will on Pruitt, but will never, ever hope that UT does well, even if that means Pruitts record is 0-12 every single season. My only hope is he gets a HUGE buyout so when he can't put out the dumpster fire and they fire him, he'll cost them 10s of millions of dollars, then he can come back to our staff for a small salary since UT will still be paying him.
Of course! Coach Battle established that precedent when 35 years ago when he came back to 'Bama succeeding Coach Bryant.
Doubtful. That will most likely be:
Hmm, I would think Tosh would be the next guy in line to fill that role but.
no - we've only lost Kirby and Pruitt as DC - been the most stable position under Saban other than Burns as the RB coach. The middle year was without Kiffin the OC.
I guess I was thinking of Kiffin as well the OC we lost. I kind of bunched them all together. Should have said Coordinators.
I agree, but Saban knows both well so he would know who could handle the job better. Of course, Saban may be looking somewhere else entirely, but co-coordinators who are not promoted in situations like this usually leave. If Tosh doesn't get the job, how does Saban convince him to stay?
