Sounds like Pruitt?s name was floated out

[Coach34]

To gauge fan reaction. He may the leader in the clubhouse but we have a few more guys to check on before officially extending an offer. Trying not to get held hostage by Sexton.

Well done Cohen. Keep it up

[BuckyIsAB****]

I'd like to see us hire a guy by the end of the week. No time to waste and ready for somebody to give this fan base what they deserve not always looking for a way out

Coach any other names you've heard to be on the look out for?

[TXDawg]

We better get somebody by tomorrow to keep the 2018 class together. Mullen hit the ground running at FL and is already starting to sway those guys.

Early signing period will kill us if we don’t get a great hire soon.

Seriously? All the talk about how prepared for this situation Cohen was and you are telling me they are taking their sweet ass time to make sure they get it right? A few days could set us back years! I hope Cohen has already made his offer to his #1 or we are in trouble...

[natchezdawg]

That doesn't sound like a very good idea at all, nor like something Cohen would do...

[yjnkdawg]

Cohen is the Man. You need to cover all your bases, by interviewing several candidates, or more because if you have somebody (you think) that you want, things can go south in a hurry. Then too in some cases you may find a candidate that impresses you more and fits what you are lookng for better. And also not having to pay a high ransom when he (agent) tries to hold you hostage. I wouldn't have any problem, though, if we got a commitment from Pruitt tonight.

[KOdawg1]

I trust Cohen. Yes, I would like us to hurry and next year is very important, but this hire goes past just next year. this is the future of our program. I want us to get it right and I have no doubt that Cohen will do just that.

[mstatefan91]

Gauge fan reaction... I don't think that's a real thing with coaching searches.

[1bigdawg]

I will be pilloried here, but I will be fine as long as we have hired someone by the end of NEXT week. Getting it right is more important than getting it quick. Having said that I check this site at least once an hour.

It hasn't even been 48 hours yet. Yes we need to find a guy soon but also need to make sure it's the right guy..

That's fine and good but if he's our top target I really hope Tennessee doesn't grab him while we're taking our time posturing.

[Dallas_Dawg]

I don?t think I would want the AD to be gauging fan reaction. I want my AD to find the right guy for the job and go get his ass

If you can get an announcement of the hiring of a hc in 4 to 5 days after another coach leaves, that 's moving pretty quick in the process.

This sounds like spin...Pruitt didn't accept rite away and we are trying to save face.

I trust Cohen and I wouldn't mind venables. But I don't buy the "floated out" response

[calidawg]

It absolutely is. Love it or hate it, social media is ingrained in sports and must be manipulated and utilized properly.

[Coach34]

AD’s do it all the time. Hell, Byrne did it for certain things while he was AD. Look at Tenn- they leaked Schiano and the fans went nuts- so they backed off him. Social media is widely used in today’s world

There is no earthly reason as to why we are not in touch with lane kiffin then

[TrapGame]

Well, has Pruitt been offered the job or not?

If he was offered and we are on hour six waiting for his response that's not good!
