Title: article on the "philosophical differences" with Brumbaugh

Apparently Pruitt calls DL and LB and then Ansley adjusts the DBs accordingly. That sounds kind of fizzleed up to me. Plus, Pruitt should really delegate the calling of the D anyway.   :confused:

Read that earlier in the week.....Pretty much says nothing. Not unusual for the DB calls to be called based on the defensive calls. My question is....why are we paying Ansley a million?

Pruitt seems to be reverting to his first year tendency to take over the reigns of a particular area when the going gets tough.  Not good.

I don't have much problem with Pruitt micro-managing the defense.  I have faith in Pruitt's defense credentials.  But Pruitt desperately needs to get his Offense staff "house" and philosophy in order.  it is in complete disarray IMO.  I have near zero faith in his offensive acumen.  He absolutely needs someone with  offensive "gravitas" to complement him and his staff.

If he's not gonna let Chaney run the show, idk who else Pruitt is ever gonna turn loose.
