Also agree on Pruitt. As much as I appreciate his work as a coordinator, he has proven next to nothing as a head guy. Certainly, he has plenty of time to fill that hole on his resume. But as of now his career largely tracks that of the worst hire in Alabama history. Picking from the family tree alone has proven disastrous.
Agree on Pruit. He would fit the CNS personality mode the closest of anybody I can think of. But again, do we want a coach with a certain personality or a proven track record? I think I know what matters most. Having said that, if JP turns UT around and gets them competing at a high SEC level again, it will prove he knows what he's doing. To expect him to win a NC there, considering where they are right now, would be a stretch. But if he did in the next 5-7 years, he'd skyrocket to the top of potential CNS replacements.
