In 2013, Pruitt was hired as the defensive coordinator at Florida State. In his lone season with the Seminoles, his defense ranked number one in scoring defense, allowing just 12.1 points per game, and ranked third in total defense, helping the 2013 Seminoles win the national championship.[9]

In 2014, Pruitt joined the Georgia coaching staff as the defensive coordinator. His 2014 defensive unit finished 17th nationally in total defense, and finished in the top ten in turnover margin and passing yards allowed. Pruitt's 2015 unit at Georgia finished the season ranked seventh nationally in total defense, and led the nation in fewest passing yards allowed per game.[9]

Pruitt returned to Alabama as defensive coordinator in 2016, replacing Kirby Smart, who had left to become the head coach at Georgia. His 2016 defensive unit led the nation in scoring defense and rushing defense, and was ranked second in total defense.[9] His 2017 Alabama defensive unit finished the regular season ranked second in total defense and first in scoring defense.[17] The unit was part of the team that won the National Championship in the 2017 season.[18
I have a question . . . did @North Texas Golfer give you permission to do this research? lol

 
Burton just posted Banks is in play

yeah but that would take at least a year to materialize so he can work now. Roach at 247 has said he's also heard the Pruitt buzz. 
Why hire a coach that within a year may have a show clause on him...,pure stupidity

 
Kyle Flood definitely searches his own name on twitter lol hes liking every tweet that mentions him

 
Well for the players its not about an ideology, for it is very real and personal to them as it is about a history of oppression and racism towards Blacks in this country and the origin of the song may be offensive to them. Just because you can't relate doesn't make their concerns non existent. At some point you have to show people some compassion and work with them towards making a change for the better. Like I said you'd be the first person on this board to pout and whine if all the blacks decided to leave based on this issue, so we all better do right by them and show some damn compassion and understanding now before it gets to that point.
quit making excuses for them would be a good start.  I have three separate lines of Cherokee and I dont hold ANYONE today responsible for the Trail of Tears, of which two of my Cherokee lineages were forced to participate.  The Irish were treated horrendously as well. Every race and every culture has had slavery and victims of it. 

Name ONE player at Texas that isnt at an advantage over 90% of peers in the state of Texas.  You may find a couple or three exceptions but for the most part, these players are self-important, entitled, brats screaming for attention (as are players in other programs).  I use to tell my soldiers that you will not get rid of racism until you decide to quit making it something that controls your life.  (Quit making excuses for them!)

This past weekend, a good friend's son won the national AAU football championship in New Bransfels for their age group (4 teams from Killeen won national championships at different age groups beating out Arkansas, Florida, California and Texas teams).  A good percentage of these players are black kids.  Is something that happened 150 yrs ago holding them back? NO!  But, one thing that can hold them back is if they let some moron talk them into becoming a slave of the past. Regardless of color, these kids are ALREADY approached by trainers to help them get ready for the future. My friend's son has been approached by three trainers (two former UT players) and he is starting specialized individual training in a couple of weeks.  Athletes are fawned all over since about age 6 and are not put out in any way regardless of color.
