I think UT hired Steele and told him he'd be head coach as soon as Pruitt stands still long enough for Phil to put the knife in his back.
Lol that knife will be to the hilt, and the handle will be awash in donut dust.
Has Saban or Smart ever had a QB do big things in the NFL? Dabo has had one very likely the 2nd very soon. No idea what Kiffin QBs have done. But Archie was in on the Kiffin hiring at OM, obviously he trust Cutt, but age is a factor. Kirby can recruit as well as anyone, but I dont think have a shot at young Manning.
I have thought that since he was named AD. I think Mack Brown having some success makes it more tempting for him.
not sure what big things are but Tua moved up to a starting roll at Miami and Hurts has been a part time starter at Philly. Both of these players are very young but have performed well. I think Smart deserves more time before judgement is passed.
Not necessarily the case. We might be a less risk that an assistant leaves to take the same position at another place, but if a coordinator gets an offer to be a head coach, or if a position coach gets an offer to be a coordinator, there's a good chance the coach in question will take it.
With the exception of Tua (and the jury is still out on him as far as the NFL goes), none of Saban's QBs were elite prospects and not a great deal was ever expected from them anyway. Jones looks like he might have played his way into elite status, though.
Oh, sure, that’s a promotion. I was looking at lateral moves.
Could, say, an NC State or a Minnesota come in and pick off our DC to be DC?
Certainly not as likely since the big money started flowing.
