I said in the beginning taking this job may not be in his best interest. We've beaten them for 11 consecutive years, the football culture there has sunk to probably one of the lowest (if not the lowest) points in program history over the last 50 years. The spring game is an indication of what Pruitt's up against internally, not even taking into account what he's up against externally from other programs in the conference. Players "quitting" in the spring game, fans not turning out in support for their new coach who specifically requested for a big turnout? Yeah, Pruitt may come to regret taking this job.
