-Elite recruiter, relates to young men well mentally

-Abrasive a-hole

-Overrated as an actual coach. Had the fortune to work at powerhouse schools for great HCs and been able to out talent opponents at literally every stop of his career
•Hoover HS, DC for Rush Probst
•Alabama, DB coach for Nick Saban
•Florida State, DC for Jimbo Fisher
•Georgia, DC for Mark Richt

Basically he's very smart about choosing his jobs and Michigan with Jim Harbaugh would be another fine choice where we would continue his current career path.

So what he did to UGA, under the same head coach that previous had a bad defense, isn't note-worthy?

2012 without Pruitt:

Total Defense – 32nd
Scoring Defense – 18th
Passing Defense – 8th
Rushing Defense – 80th

2013 without Pruitt:

Total Defense - 45th
Scoring Defense – 79th
Passing Defense – 59th
Rushing Defense – 43rd

2014 Pruitt's first year:

Total Defense – 17th
Scoring Defense – 16th
Passing Defense – 5th
Rushing Defense – 63rd

2015 Pruitt's second year:

Total Defense – 8th
Scoring Defense – 9th
Passing Defense – 1st
Rushing Defense – 48th

That jump from 2013 to 2014 in Pruitt's first year was huge. And he continued the trend having one of the best defense's in the country this year.
