With Smart Out, Does Saban

[ScreenCaptureThis]

Head for the NFL? Smart has been with him for a decade or more. Could be the sign of a jump for Saban.

To make this Mullen coaching rumor related.... Mullen to Alabama.

[Ifyouonlyknew]

Jeremy Pruitt to Bama.

[Really Clark?]

Jeremy Pruitt to Bama.

Yep. Cochran to Georgia with Smart. Maybe Napier and Schumann.

Jeremy Pruitt to Bama.

Does this help us with Derrick brown or does he all-the-sudden swing to the tide?

[TSUNami]

This makes Bama vulnerable, at least for this upcoming season. Pity we don't play them early.

UGA still the overwhelming favorite.

Why can't you just humor me?!!! I want to hear he's coming here even if it's a lie**

The only thing that would make them vulnerable is if Saban left.

You mean when we're still breaking in a new qb, 1/2 our dline, and new cb's? Early or late makes no difference vs bama next year... Gonna be a loss

Jeremy Pruitt to Bama.

Pruitt will stay at UGA now that Smart is there. So yeah, they're absolutely getting Derrick Brown.

I don't know why Smart leaving would signal anything from Saban, though. He finally took a head job because this is the head job he was always waiting for.

No. Prewitt will not be retained. Muschamp may come over but Georigia will not keep Prewitt. He hurt himself there this year.

It's Smart's decision, and I can guarantee you he is going to want Pruitt there. Pruitt may take more money if Bama offers it, but I would be surprised. He and Smart are close.

Smart is not retaining Prewitt. Brown and Rocker are supposedly staying on. But Prewitt will not be. He hurt himself there and they had conversations about who Smart would retain and maybe bring in.

Eta. If he does stay it's because they couldn't get several other guys.

All I'm telling you is a lot of the rumors down here right now are saying Pruitt will stay on as DC. Again, this will be Smart's call.

Ok. Well earlier it was not him it was Muschamp as first choice and while Smart does make the calls there are concerns with Prewitts conduct this year. Big concerns.

[djaymsu5]

Muschamp to Georgia. Both him and Kirby are UGA alums

[smootness]

Muschamp may be getting the SC job.

[TSUNami]

I don't get the muschamp hype. He sucked at Florida (look at them now with the same players as muschamp had), he sucked at Auburn (Jacksonville State 2.0). Why would anybody in the SEC hop on him again after all of that not even a few years ago now?

He sucked as a head coach at Florida but his defenses were very very good. I think Auburn had just way too many holes to judge him on this year much. Their numbers at the end of the year was a good bit better than the beginning. But I wouldn't be looking at him for head coach. DC...yes, head coach...no

What I can't figure out is why Auburn has so many holes.

Didn't they lose a starter or two in the secondary before the season started? I think some of it was entitled recruits not putting out effort. I know he benched a lot of guys and changed lineups all during the season until they all finally settled down. Boom ain't exactly Mr. Kid Gloves.

[Liverpooldawg]

I think if Bama wins it all this year that there is a 50-50 chance Saben either heads to the NFL or retires. If they don't win it I think he will be back. Root hard for Bama from here on out.

He's going to retire a college football coach. The NFL dream is over.

[Duckdog]

Dan to Bama

[Liverpooldawg]

That's what they said about Pete Carroll too. Saben is a bit older but I still wonder if his ego doesn't want one more shot at the NFL with a better organization. I'm a Dolphins fan from childhood but the organization down there sucks. It was even worse when Saben was there.
