At least he was willing to pay for services rendered instead of just taking them like some other people

All joking aside. If I'm about to make millions I'm more likely to pay for it than I am to go home with a bar fly. Too much at risk these days.

Looks like Pruitt to Bama. Says that it didn't go over well with some of the players he recruited there, which is normal. I'm sure the same thing happened at Auburn when Muschamp left for Columbia.

Hearing the same thing from the Tuscaloosa end. Sounds like from the article that Pruitt wanted to stay and Smart didn't want to retain him...which is why the players were upset.

It's interesting that smart didn't want him. Would love to know why.

It makes some sense. Smart is a defensive guy and wants to run "his" scheme. Doesn't want Pruitt getting credit for his defense.
I would have kept Pruitt, though. A head coach would want to surround himself with the best assistants.

Pruitt has a reputation of being difficult to get along with. There's a reason jimbo let him go to a lateral move, and there's rumors of fisticuffs between him and Richt
I would think they run a really similar scheme (Saban's scheme), but who knows. I know the Alabama side views Pruitt coming back as a best case scenario for a tailor-made replacement. Maybe it is just coincidence, but I know our DB play hasn't been as good since Pruitt left several years ago.

Agree with all of that. And Pruitt is 3-0 against Auburn as a DC. So boo that man.

I agree. I think this is an issue where perception means more than substance. One of the knocks on Smart is that he's just been running Saban's defense with Saban really at the helm. Talking point would shift from "Saban's defense" to "Pruitt's defense." I suspect that's the issue -- not that I agree with it.

Yep, pretty surprising to me.
It's certainly weird. Because I'd say driving drunk is way worse than trying to pay for a little somethin somethin. But whatever. the NCAA* and college football in general is so inconsistent it hurts.
*I don't believe this is an NCAA ruling at all, just making a statement.

Interesting because it was a misdemeanor offense, though given that Washington is a senio,r loss of a summer scholarship wasn't going to have any affect. At least he'll get to play in the Senior Bowl

Stoops granted Trevor Knight a full release. We could potentially face him next year if he goes to KSU.

I hope he does. I love that Stoops wasn't an asshole like TT was with Mayfield.
I won't be shocked if he stays though.

I agree. I think it's a crap move to not let these kids move on. Their window to play is so small, it seems the fair/right/gentlemanly thing to allow them move on.
I wish Trevor the best, as he gave us a great highlight in the 2014 Sugar Bowl. That'll be remembered for a long time by Sooner fans.

That's hilarious if true.
Yeah I don't know how I feel about that.
