What's the consensus on Burns and Pruitt coaching wise? I know they are top shelf recruiters. FSU is already recruiting gang busters but they need some solid position coaching to round them out.

Well Pruitt was at Hoover High School six years ago and came to Alabama five years ago as an off-field assistant. He's been coaching DBs (Saban's specialty) the past few seasons. Not much of a book on him position coaching-wise, seemed like a rather risky hire for Jimbo to make him the DC.

Jimbo has put together a phenomenal staff when he first took over. Most FSU fans will give him the benefit of the doubt. I'm excited for Pruitt and I'm confident Saban wouldn't have given the thumbs up if he wasn't ready to be a DC.

Plus, he's coming into a team with a ton of talent, experienced assistant coaches, and we're in the ACC. He has some margin for error and learning.
