Jeremy Pruitt Will be announced tomorrow! - per an unknown poster with his 1st post

I've been told Grantham isn't out of the question as remaining as the DC.

So wait... we get Pruitt, a defensive coordinator by trade and Grantham stays on? Guess Pruitt takes the Saban approach? Coach DB's and maybe special teams.. idk.. kinda like it though

I will be surprised if it happens, but we would be sick on defense with those 2

I would like that a lot. Not a fan of HC running O or D too. Too much weight on em during a game.

IF that were to happen, we just punked the shit out of Florida and came out with the better deal.

That would be freaking awesome!!!

I like Grantham's style. Plus, him following Mullen doesn't jive.

Let Dan go get Sirmon from UofL. See how the gaytors like that shit.

I just heard the same thing too.

If all of it came to fruition yea ... by far IMO.

[Cary Hudson's little bro]

So being a coach, what is your opinion on these guys if it turns out true?

HOME RUN...Pruitt, Napier, Friend....need a WR coach known for crootin...Gillespie at Tenn, Ronnie Letson at CSU (both have Mississippi ties like Friend) or a Bama staffer

[shoeless joe]

3.5 mill for Pruitt and 2 mill for grantham...got a lot of extra cash available now. I'm not expecting it but it would be nice and prolly doable if Pruitt wanted to go that route

[mparkerfd20]

tRant saying Florida has hired Grantham... Guess we'll know soon enough.

[NCDawg]

With Napier as OC
Working on Friend right now as Co-OC/OL

Thats the word

We don't need Friend. He signed with Alabama out of high school instead of us. Wanted to play for Dubose instead of Sherrill.

I think he's probably gone.

but..if we do, by some miracle keep him And add the names just mentioned, holy crap

That was over 20 years ago... let it go. He and chuck were my neighbors growing up... I like the whole family

If he can coach who cares? T Buck was a Mississippi kid and went to FSU.

I'd laugh my ass off if Dan jumped to UF thinking Grantham was coming, and our whole D staff stayed in Starkville. Grantham ain't loyal to Dan and he knows what he has coming back.

I bet you eat at Outback. LOL

Some people can hold a grudge for a while apparently.

I actually hope we go to the Outback this year so people will shut up about it.

[Bothrops]

Can we average 6 wins a year with this combo?

[Prediction? Pain.]

Only thing I know about Friend is that his resume is outstanding. Top 15 offense nationally this year, Top 25 last year, and one of the best offensive line coaches in the country. Unless I'm missing something, he'd be a big get.

I'd laugh my ass off if Dan jumped to UF thinking Grantham was coming, and our whole D staff stayed in Starkville. Grantham ain't loyal to Dan and he knows what he has coming back.

I have no idea if there's a realistic possibility of keeping Grantham, but if so, that'd be awesome, especially paired with a Napier/Friend-led offense.

Anyone else not getting a damn thing done at work today?

[RunDog26]

Gonzalez, Grantham & Hevesy reportedly offered to move with Dan to FL.
