Red90fly Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Great DC, terrible HC. His buyout was $13 mil+. Don't think for one second Texas can't afford Herman's buyout. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If elko leaves i expect him to get a call. Not that he's my first choice or anything but there is a history there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeze would be good hire for South Carolina. You know they were desperate if they’re doing something during COVID-19. oh yep, that would be a big move for the Gamecocks!

I think Billy Napier is a top prospect for USC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freeze is probably waiting on Auburn or his quote dream job Tennessee to open up. Considering funding shortfalls that make the massive buyouts built into Gus’s and Pruitt’s contracts, I have serious doubts about either of those jobs opening up this year. But I could be wrong.

Valhalla Posted November 22, 2020 Author Share Posted November 22, 2020 Places like Tennessee, South Carolina, and Texas this year are great examples of stupid extensions. Nobody was going to hire Pruitt away from Tennessee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody was going to hire Pruitt away from Tennessee. Correct. I understand nailing down a proven winner. It makes zero sense to lock a first time head coach (Pruitt) or a guy who’s moving up from the mid-majors (Herman) these massive buyout clauses. Make them prove themselves first. South Carolina should have known Muschamp was a risky hire. What about his tenure at Florida made them think he was going to take them to glory days? They still set themselves up to look stupid by giving him a big buyout. Now they’re paying him $13 million to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, if a guy can’t succeed at Florida what makes you think he could win at a worse job in the same division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take out the James Franklin years and 6 wins with a bowl game is huge for Vandy. Looks like they got a QB in the freshman. Maybe they’ll go with a offensive guy to maximize his talent.

trueblue82 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 If Auburn loses to Mississippi State next week, the “fire Gus” cries will be louder than ever. Tennessee still has to play A&M, which could very easily leave them finishing with four straight losses, two of which are blowouts. I don’t think Jeremy Pruitt survives that. The question is: who do they hire? I think we’re going to find out how committed Hugh Freeze is to Liberty University. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pruitt will join the Saban Coaching Rehab Clinic, get the stink washed off and go on to be the next head coach at a low level Power 5 or upper level Group of 5 school.

I would say Pruitt is going to have to show some sort of success before a good program is going to take a chance on him, but South Carolina hired Muschamp after the Florida debacle.
