Definitely and Arkansas' D-Line has been great so far this season since LeBlanc took over there.I can’t say I know exactly what makes a good/bad DL coach. But it sure seemed like that unit was much better once we hired LeBlanc.
Pruitt bitched about their lack of a pass rush on his coach's show.Not sure why he was the scape goat. Their D line played decent.
UK threw the ball 15 times and more then half we’re read option throws and or quick hits that all the DL can do is try to knock down passes in those situationsPruitt bitched about their lack of a pass rush on his coach's show.
He cracked a smile after Kentucky's third interception. Blue blood runs deep.Not sure why he was the scape goat. Their D line played decent.
When you go through 11 assistants in 29 games, that's a good indication there's a problem at the top.
Wow...i had not realized that many assistants have come and gone in 2 years and few games. Who are all the assistants that have left..and were they fired or got better gigs (Like Neal Brown with Stoops)When you go through 11 assistants in 29 games, that's a good indication there's a problem at the top.

One would think Butch's staff was counted in those numbers but who knows. That seems like a lot in two years, even for UT.No idea. It was stated in a tweet, but didn't provide names. That's one Hell of a turnover rate.
Fulmer set this up really nicely.Fulmer is probably on the prowl for Pruitt's replacement. Odd how they recruit so well but develop so bad, maybe they can take some pointers from Coach Stoops & his staff, they seem to be able to develop talent just fine.
Didn't Fulmer double cross Majors? I don't remember. His ethics are questionable at best.Fulmer set this up really nicely.
Hired Pruitt for a discount, didn't have to spend big money. Then was able to hire a bunch of high priced assistants. He got a staff that could recruit top notch talent. He's letting them develop these guys and build depth through some tough times.
So he doesn't want to just dump a staff and start over...he then can name himself interim HC and then HC. Keeps the staff and recruits in place. Lets Pruitt get the heat during the rebuild as he moves in and inherits that talent and staff. The results will probably be better, then he can have a few good years and retire on his own terms.
He wants to be a UT legend...but he was forced out. Don't doubt he does this...
Pruitt appears to be someone that would be easy to hate. Maybe hate is too strong, but would be hard to work for.You don’t fire a coach after 4 games unless you absolutely hate each other.
Think their QB coach is ex-FSU/ex Heisman winner/ex pro baseball player Chris Weinke. Maybe he should've stayed with baseball.Even their QB coach has to be stunned that he wasn't the one fired over the weekend.
Make no mistake, Fullmer runs the show there, Pruitt was hired out of desperation after numerous better qualified coaches turned Phat down after seeing the handwriting on the wall. And Phat's already been gigged for on-field coaching. They tried to make a big a big deal about hiring ex-UT player/ex-UK asst away from USC but Martin had already had his duties curtailed by USC and was on the cusp of being fired. And if you've seen pics of Martin lately....let's just say he must be first in line at the buffet. Further, OC Jim Chaney (another buffet lover BTW), is a has been retread. That program is in trouble...couldn't happen to a better bunch.Pruitt appears to be someone that would be easy to hate. Maybe hate is too strong, but would be hard to work for.
He is trying to be Nick Saban, but doesn't have that kind of credibility to go nuts on his assistant coaches, and especially the game officials.
His red neck was shining Saturday.
But in all honesty, he wasn't given much to work with during that time. You could say the offensive line wasn't great during those years either, but it was more about scheme/talent than line coaching.Our D line sucked when he was here from 2013 - 2016.

DJ Elliot had our line to hold their ground and react. When Matt House took over I think our Dline was cut loose a little more to attack. We have stayed in this mode thank goodness. Our line seemed to be better under Leblanc but I also think the head coordinator are using a better scheme!!But in all honesty, he wasn't given much to work with during that time. You could say the offensive line wasn't great during those years either, but it was more about scheme/talent than line coaching.
But once Elliot was relieved of defensive play-calling duties, things improved dramatically.
