Title: A way out of Pruitt's buyout? Post by: BanditVol on November 14, 2020, 08:44:42 EST We have an opening on the staff. Fulmer takes over as HC and demotes Pruitt to DC.
If Pruitt doesnt like it, he can take a hike. And since thats voluntary, he dosn't get a buyout. Fulmer's rationale is that Pruitt needs help learning to be an HC. Only potential issue is contractual. If Pruitt's contract specifically says "head coach" how do you get around that? I suspect that so long as the University keeps him employed they are good. And yeah, Im not really that serious with this, but what are we supposed to discuss with no game? Seriously though, this might work! Title: Re: A way out of Pruitt's buyout?

Saban will call Poot Gump and bring him back to Bama as DC. Problem solved.

Only UT would fire a coach that couldn't handle the 1 program he was responsible for and then hire him back to be over the entire athletic department. And folks wonder why we are in the $hitter and the laughing stock of the SEC. Title: Re: A way out of Pruitt's buyout?

Title: Re: A way out of Pruitt's buyout? Post by: HerbTarlekVol on November 15, 2020, 12:23:48 EST Not if he quits. If he's demoted from the head coaching position then he's fired as tne head coach. Jimmy Sexton isn't stupid. I guarantee that is covered in the contract. Title: Re: A way out of Pruitt's buyout? Post by: volsboy on November 16, 2020, 02:16:42 EST Fulmer needs to go to. Never agreed with him being a AD. He brings too much divisiveness with him. Coach worth his salary will not work for Phat Phil.
