While I understand the hostility, the problems that Pruitt caused at UGA are pretty massive.
Let's not forget that Pruitt was DC for FSU i n 2013 when FSU won the national championship. He immediately packed his bags and made a LATERAL move to be the DC at UGA. With no ties to UGA, why would you leave FSU?? looking back it may have been one of Pruitt's biggest mistakes, if he had stayed there he would have been a top candidate to take Jimbo's place. Still, the reason for his departure and making a lateral move after being the DC for the BCS championship team was due to hostility, being a hot head, etc.

Pruitt's time under Richt also had a lot of controversy.
I do not think it is much of a secret that Kirby and Pruitt did not get along well, also as evidence of kirby not keeping Pruitt on staff. Regardless, Pruitt has done a lot of moving around and each time there has been controversy and Pruitt has remained a common denominator
I am not here to try to defend Kirby in any hostility between him and Saban, I do believe they are cordial but I am sure there is some tension and probably rightfully so. I am not here to try to say that Kirby is better than saban or any other BS. I am just simply disagreeing with the Pruitt/Smart comment. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I can understand how that someone may arrive at that conclusion... but truly follow Pruitts timeline and stories
take care, good luck in the west this season and hopefully Dawgs and Bama meet up in Atlanta
