Not much class from Murray IMO.
Shoot, I think the verdict is still out on Kirby. He took over a loaded cupherd and he's had a great recruiting class. Now, let's see if he can do something with it.
FWIW, I'm a fan of Pruitt and if given the time, UT will start making up some ground in the east.
I've actually lost count how many coaches turned down the job before Pruitt accepted.
It didn't get any attention in the media; but I actually was offered the position before Pruitt. Naturally, I turned it down . . . :biggrin:
Sounds like he has a bit of an axe to grind with Pruitt.
He might not have the personality it takes to be an unbiased talking head.

A few thoughts here:
First, you'd think Pruitt would realize that it's a mistake to respond to trolls, like washed up QB's from rival schools. Not the best sign for UcheaT that he didn't grasp this after all the time he spent with Saban. . . .
Second, Murray was already gone from Athens when Pruitt was hired. They might have both been on campus at the same time maybe 3-4 months tops, and Murray never once played on any team that Pruitt was coaching. So how the "Heck" does Murray even KNOW enough to make these kinds of comments?
Finally, what the "french toast" does Murray know about what it takes to be a Head Coach? He's never played on a championship team in College or the NFL, and he's never coached at ANY Level. So how does his opinion mean SQUAT???
I've seen Aaron Murray and David Pollack both speak out on this now but nothing in particular. I don't expect them to go in deep detail but both have said something along the lines of "some of the things Pruitt did to Mark Richt, some coaches would say are the most disrespectful they have heard, the most crazy they have heard." I mean if it's so bad why don't they say what happened? Again, not in great detail but just give everyone an idea about what you're talking about if your'e going to throw statements like that out there..
I don't know for sure what number he was, but Mike Leach agreed to terms with the other A.D. and Phil Fulmer stabbed that A.D in the back (imagine that), and killed the Leach deal. I know Leach isn't the greatest coach in the nation, but he was the best option that actually was going to go to Knoxville. I despise Fulmer, but I'm glad UT didn't hire Leach.
According to Andy Staples of Sports Illustrated, Currie and current Washington State coach Mike Leach met in California on Thursday night and ultimately agreed to a deal that would make Leach the next head coach in Knoxville.

why does pruitt need to prove anything to murray?
and a little extra something, just because,
It seems like Murray and Pollack are starting to be homers and help out UGA. Perhaps Pruitt and other UT coaches were starting to challenge the UGA boys on the recruiting trail. They can have a full scale war if they like. Maybe it will weaken them both, not that UT can get much weaker than last year.
As we all know, these talking heads are a dime a dozen these days because there is so much airtime to fill. These guys know they have to say shocking things to keep the ratings up or they will be replaced by the next set of guys hoping to make a living as announcers. I've always thought that would be a good gig myself.

they are keeping the culture of richt alive. it helps them learn to live with things like this
FWIW I remember some guys on RollBamaRoll and maybe somewhere else implying that maybe Pruitt didn't have the right personality for being a HC or at least maybe wasn't ready for it yet. But I don't really remember what reason they gave or anything.
I'm close with a former DB who played when Pruitt was DBs coach, and he has similar thoughts as Murray based on his time with the program. Nothing but positives for Kirby and CNS, but strong feelings about Pruitt and his coaching style.
FWIW though, he didn't expect him to succeed as our DC either, and that turned out pretty well. And it is just one former player's opinion.
