Yes, and we won't keep him for more than a year.
I could easily see two years. I think he will still be challenged to find an HC job anywhere for quite some time, and Tennessee offers (a) a major high vis program (that is changing but Vols still have some brand rec), (b) an offense that is already in the cellar and has no way to go but up, (c) a rising junior QB who improved dramatically from frosh but still has room to grow, (d) a stable of talented WRs and good to adequate RBs, and (e) some talent (finally!) coming in to the OL.
If he comes, we will still struggle offensively next year given the state of our OL. To make himself look better a two-year tenure is better. Joey Freshwater got two years in at bammer by way of analogy.
If he does come, Pruitt needs to get everything he can out of him but also be grooming a successor and/or quietly keeping a database of likely replacement candidates.
