Rumor Mill-Jeremy Pruitt Out at Georgia?

[Marshal Dillon]

Strictly rumor, but this is interesting. Read link.

Fran Tarkenton, the quarterback on Georgia's 1959 SEC Championship team who went on to a Hall of Fame career in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings, is not afraid to speak his mind about his Bulldogs. On Tuesday, he offered up plenty of criticism of his former school's football program when he made an appearance on 680 The Fan in Atlanta.

“I think [Jeremy Pruitt] has come over and been very boisterous, been very loud,” Tarkenton said. “I think he's taken advantage of things over there. He personally has hired four of the assistant coaches over there including the weight guy. I'm not a great fan of Jeremy Pruitt. That has not been a good, workable solution.”

I don't think their D is that bad. The O is so terrible, that they're not on the field long enough to give the D players a breather.

You can find an example of that friction between Pruitt and the offensive staff in Pruitt's post-game comments following the Florida game. Pruitt noted that the defense gave up two big plays to the Gators and that was something they needed to fix, but also seemed to take a shot across the bow at the offense.

“Two plays. But those two plays count. We've gotta eliminate those plays,” Pruitt said following the loss. “We eliminate those plays, I don't know, we get beat 7-3.”

Does he (Pruitt) not realise that a loss by 4 is still a loss?

The gist of what I am reading is that Pruitt is overly disruptive & not a team player.

When a head coach's set is getting warm, the assistant coaches are the first to go.  But hasn't Richt done that already?   

[Marshal Dillon]

So much conjecture & it can't help that an influential former star QB & now prominent businessman is speaking publicly. Sounds like Richt has lost control.

Could this be why CNS was not at all upset about his leaving Alabama? Or, could even be that he tried to be a CNS at other places that got him in trouble? RTR!

OH MY....MARK RICHT HAS LOST CONTROL OF THE COACHING STAFF!

Shocking, isn't it. After 15 years, Richt might just be tired of the job. Georgia looked so flat in its' last game & that could be a sign of his displeasure.

You're missing it, 2.  They need someone to blame, and Pruitt is IT.

Oh, I understand that, and I'm by no means a Pruitt fan, but I've seen worse defenses. Just calling it as I see it.

But TODAY is the day it's blowing up.  Folks are calling for Richt's head, not the defensive coaches'.  Richt is pointing fingers in all directions, hoping to stay afloat.  It ends soon...

I have never thought Mark Richt was a real good coach but a good coach maybe. I've stated before that he should have won some NCs with the quality of players that he has recruited over the years. When I say he, I mean him and his coaching staff. He always seems to lose a big game at the end of the season after a good start that has killed all of his chances at the big prize. He seems like a good, nice guy but the good guys don't always win.

Personally I think his teams have become very predictable which makes it easier for them to lose. The SEC is loaded with good defensive teams and this is what kills Georgia. I don't know who designs their offense, him or his OC, but they aren't very good. How many games would they have lost this year and last year without Chubb and they finally did lose him and it hasn't been pretty since. You never put all of your eggs in one basket and that seems to be his forte when he gets those good backs, he runs them to death and maybe it's because of the post season awards that causes that.

In regards to what Tarkenton said about Pruitt doing all of that hiring, who permitted it to happen? Georgia is a team that has no sense of direction anymore and if I were the AD, I would clean house and start all over because their program is going nowhere except downward.

Well, Richt will be out anyway, and the assistants will be out the door with him. New coach will hire his own staff.

I have a few suggestions for them.
