Title: I'm still not sold, but I will say this... Post by: Black Diamond Vol on December 08, 2017, 03:12:42 EST Five years ago, when Butch said he would bring the best staff in America, I pictured a staff that looked a lot less like the one he ended up hiring, and a lot more like the one that Pruitt appears to be building.
Title: Re: I'm still not sold, but I will say this... Post by: LouisVOL on December 08, 2017, 03:52:00 EST Yep. if you need to google these guys, no need to do it individually, just google list of top recruiters in SEC (and Mtn. West in the case of Friend/Fair). As a bonus they have very successful position groups. How about that, coaches who can coach! I am thinking part if his deal is "you will have the money you need".

"A bright day for @Vol_Football stands to keep shining on Friday. Promising signs for continued STRONG additions to Pruitt’s staff. Rounding into by far most complete group of coaches/recruiters since ‘09 on #RockyTop" Title: Re: I'm still not sold, but I will say this...

This occurred to me also. Not sure the CSU OC or Helton's boy will revive our offense, but the other names seem solid to excellent. Tracy Rocker is my age...I recall hearing his name quite a bit in Neyland in the classic UT - AU games of the late 80s. On the wrong side of it, but we beat them badly in 85. :biggrin: Title: Re: I'm still not sold, but I will say this... Post by: BGHarper on December 08, 2017, 06:03:30 EST This occurred to me also.

BG Yes, on name alone I am happy with him. If he was the DL coach at Auburn, he's probably pretty good. Title: Re: I'm still not sold, but I will say this...

Post by: LouisVOL on December 08, 2017, 03:28:26 EST in my mind, the most important staff hire he will make is S&C. We absolutely must get bigger-stronger-faster, and healthier.

We absolutely must get bigger-stronger-faster, and healthier. Which is exactly what I was referring to in my previous post. Who's the most important cog in the Saban machine, other than Saban himself? http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2605820-alabamas-600000-strength-coach-is-catalyst-of-nick-sabans-dynasty I'm hearing Pruitt will make a run at him. Make no mistake, it's a big longshot. Saban will probably make him the nation's first million dollar strength coach, if that's what it takes to keep him. But let's see what happens.

If he flips from Bama to UT, I'd shyt a golden monkey and put a video of me doing it on youtube Title: Re: I'm still not sold, but I will say this...

BG Rocker's reputation is that he is a tremendous on the field coach, but he doesn't like to recruit. Title: Re: I'm still not sold, but I will say this...

Those guys worked hard in the weight room and in Saban's 4th quarter program. Your head coach would tell you the same. BG Title: Re: I'm still not sold, but I will say this...
