View Full Version : Rumors swirling in Athens - Pruitt could be out as early as today...

He is an elite recruiter that will have a job in minutes, but the word is that there was "heated" dispute within the UGA program and he could be out.

It looks like barring a 4-0 finish to the season, that Richt will be asked to leave. Looking at the schedule, I would think 4-0 is very doable, but it will be a very interesting month in Athens.

It will be interesting for us as well, UGA is the only job in the country that worries me with Mullen. The only one.

I actually think Auburn takes UGA. Auburn is getting better and UGA is getting worse and that would ultimately be the demise of Richt. And that is the game that determines Auburn's bowl eligibility. They will lose to TAMU this weekend, then they end with UGA, Idaho, Alabama. They currently have 4 wins. If they want to get to 6, they have to beat UGA so that Idaho is their 6th win. I think they beat UGA and that essentially puts the nail in the Richt tenure at UGA.

If true, this has to help with the recruitment of 5 star Derrick Brown.

Wow, Richt just tweeted out that Pruitt is working today.

The fact that he responded on twitter so quickly tells me there is a lot of smoke to the rumors that Pruitt won't be there past the bowl game.

Lets go get Derrick Brown and try and see if there is anyone else out there that we can steal. Apparently Michigan and Florida are already poaching recruits/commits.

after hearing that fanbase complain about winning seasons (and I have heard it first hand and a LOT from living there 30 years) I don't know why any coach that is currently successful would even consider UGA .... those folks will never be satisfied with anything short of a national title every other year

The media expects Mullen to move eventually. But Morehead has a stronghold on keeping tradition within their athletics program. If Richt decides to step down, they'll go after someone that can coach Georgia football with a Georgia mind. No big time school wants to have a failed experiment like Rich Rod in Michigan. But Georgia isn't going to fire Richt, he'll have to step down himself. If they keep losing, I can see that happening. But I also see my boy Pruitt leaving at the end of the season..... I think he may be a bit too fiery for laid back Richt.

Totally agree - if he UGA opens up and he stays, he is here as long as we want. I think he stays regardless, but depending on who leaves early, he could see next year as a rebuilding year and knows that UGA is a sleeping giant.

It really is a great fit for CDM, and I can't begrudge him if he did leave, I mean it is UGA. Its a top 5-10 job. If he does take it, I will be stunned if he doesn't make the playoffs within 4 years.

And that's our best scenario, Richt stays but the defensive staff is totally redone giving us a better shot at Brown. And goodness knows we do well recruiting guys with the last name Brown. We already have about 15 players on the roster with that last name.

Grew up an UGA fan and was going there until MSU came calling. I never realized how irrational they are until I moved back. The thing is, outside of the Herschel Era they have always been a mediocre program compared to what they think they should be and the perception of their resources. Prior to Herschel, Dooley had won 3 SEC titles in 13 years, only 1 of which was outright. After Herschel they went 12 years until their next title. That is the definition of mediocre.

UGA's big problem is that even though GA has a huge amount of talent UGA has never locked it down in recruiting. Look through the AJC Super 11 every year and UGA gets 3-4. And it isn't because they don't play the game on the crootin' side or the academic side (google Jan Kemp). They might come after Dan, but ultimately I think they get someone almost just like Richt, and they trudge on cursed to 9 win seasons.

Despite Dawg61's adamant claim, there is no rule that prevents it from happening. It is privately discouraged behind closed doors, but if a school wants another SEC HC badly enough, they can get him. But D61 apparently can't understand or accept that nuance. I wouldn't be at al surprised if UGA comes after Mullen. And if he goes, so be it. Seriously, name the last coach to leave MSU for a "better" job. Daryl Royal, maybe?

If Dan leaves, it's because he's (obviously) done one hell of a job improving the program and we're in position to make a great hire. I'll wish him well and be excited to see who we bring in. Frankly, we're in the best position both from a competitve/talent standpoint and from a financial standpoint than we've ever been to bring in a top tier coach, should Mullen go.

MSUDawg4Life

I'm not worried about it.

We haven't seen a SEC head coach leave one school for another in a long time. I do believe there's a gentleman's agreement that we won't do that. It weakens the conference to poach each others coaches.

The SEC will be better if Georgia, or any other school, goes outside of the conference to bring in the best coach they can. Thereby keeping the collective group of coaches in the conference as strong as possible.

How many times has an SEC head coach been poached by another SEC school since 1998? Zero. Mullen WILL NOT be the 1st one in 18 years to be poached.

If they let a DC go from one SEC program to another, they can damn sure let a HC go. And if y'all think the SEC offices give much of a damn about us as they do UGA, you are crazy. And I don't care about it being HC vs DC, they allowed a, "lateral move" of a key position to another SEC program.

Why would it? What coaches have MSU, UNM, UK, or Vandy had that the other SEC schools wanted before now? CJS was the only one I can think of, and he had MSU ties. Perhaps Franklin, but he hadn't acomplished as much as Dan has. And CJS had a lot of baggage hanging over his head.

I have heard the same thing other's have stated, that Slive frowned upon it, and schools respected Slive enough to not challenge him. But it was never a rule. We don't know how Sankey feels about it,

Uneducated guesses as why Dan wouldn't want the UGA job, if in case there was high interest:

1) At State, Salary:Expectations is a lot higher than UGA. If you want to stay somewhere longer than 4-5 years, that is a number that is the paramount ratio. If it would have been 2010, when he was making 1/2 of what he is now, then it would make a lot more sense.

2) Stars matter there, too. The UGA alumni wouldn't let Dan get away with "developmentally recruiting", either. Than again, he wouldn't have to. But, he would have to turn his head at a lot of things, that he would not allow from our Alumni. Memories of UF are probably similar to what goes at UGA.

3) He still has some equity built up, here. He would probably want some of that good feeling to erode, before trying for a "lateral move." The goose is still happily laying those $4,000,000 eggs.

I think Dan leaves, when a school from another conference comes along, in similar circumstances to what we had a few years ago: Botom half school in conference, with new cash flow, and commitment to winning. Some place with average/bad facilities, but is willing to make it right. He gets to build, be the man, and have time to put everything into motion. We are in a unique situation, with what we have. Until Dan's relationship with the alumni/fans sours a bit, the fit is just too good.

Now if by chance, UGA is one of those personal "destination jobs," for Dan, then all bets are off. I think only Dan, Megan, and the Good Lord know what those are.

Well, UGA hasn't had any murderers on their team, so that have that going for them..
But, while Richt is strong the discipline, look at the sheer volume of kids he has had to either suspend or kick of the team for alcohol, pot, theft, and battery. To me that sends up red flags about the type players in the program. The alums respect the toughness, but it doesn't keep them from wanting you to sign that 4 star with a question mark in his record. Would Dan be willing to make that compromise?
If you have spent any time in Athens, you know it is a serious distraction and makes it a tough place to keep a team focused. A lot of kids can't handle it as a regular 18 year old, let alone an athlete getting "perks". Would Dan want to put up with constantly having to nanny the kids in that setting?

I wouldn't.

I think saying they expect a title every other year is a bit of an overexaggeration. However, uga should absolutely have their sights on winning a natty and competing regularly for a playoff spot. There's no reason given their history, resources, facilities, and in state talent that they should have the same expectations as Florida, bama, lsu, Texas, usc, Ohio st, Michigan, etc. if you take one of those jobs, you know your expectation is playoffs or bust, but at the same time the path to the playoffs and possibly natty will never be easier than it is at those schools.

I'd like to know why you find it amusing that a State guy I know- that worked in college and pro football- and is close friends with Kyle Whittingham is funny?

Why in the mother-**** would myself, I Seen It, and Mic concoct some crazy story that we have a connection to Kyle Whittingham of all people????

Man, Kyle Whittingham's name was in the mix when Mullen was hired. A lot of "in the know" people threw around a lot of different names. Whittingham didn't pull the trigger in a New York minute then. He's been offered lots of jobs since then. He's still at Utah. Has been there for 20 years.

I don't doubt somebody told you something. But, Dan Mullen is still here. We don't really know if he's going anywhere. And I seriously doubt anyone is sure who the next coach will be if he does leave - including Kyle Whittingham.

That's just my opinion. You can take it personally if you want. I don't care.

Has anyone thought of "Jimbo Fisher to UGA" and the FSU job coming open?

nothing you posted is relevant to my question. I know someone that Whittingham told he would take our job "in a New York second". He is a State guy that worked in college and pro football. Enjoy some time off.

USA Today piece mentioned Jimbo as a UGA target, but I'm not buying. It's not an upgrade to go from FSU to UGA.

Jimbo is wanted by UGA- doesnt mean he wants UGA

Thus why I'm not buying. I don't see him making what's essentially a lateral move. Easier path to the NC at FSU and no compunction from the boosters about playing outside the lines like at UGA.

isn't there some friction between wittingham and the utah AD over contract negotiations? i think that's why wittingham is rumored to be a candidate for a lot of these P5 openings.

There's at least a history of tension it seems.
