Tenn. Recruicting Dude Says a Flip Coming

That came from Pruitts camp? And his agent, Sexton? Yeah what could I be thinking, no way Sexton would do something like that. First reports of our offer read something like, friends or people close to Pruitt report MSU has offered him the HC job and he is strongly considering accepting or will most likely accept. The alleged offer leak didn't come from MSU or Cohen

It very much seemed like Sexton was trying to scare off any other options so Pruitt could have the MSU offer and maybe play UT and FSU against it. We probably wouldn't have waited for Pruitt to see if things shook out like that but it seems like Sexton was trying to force the situation. I do think that Moorhead was Cohen's first option because I think Cohen believes in getting a great offensive system as the building block. A good to great DC is a lot easier to hire than a good to great offensive coordinator. Also it is easier to change DC systems than OC other than changing from 3-4 to 4-3 unless you have the Dline for it.

I think Pruitt knew it was him or Moorhead (with Joe way ahead of him) and he was trying to muddy the waters. I'm sure we asked him to spell asparagus. He looked at Cohen blankly and knew he wouldn't be getting the job.
