That Pruitt man is 2-0 against the Pirates....Jasper is excited for sure. Let’s see if they give him long enough to build them back up to competition status!

He put some fear in the kids when he talked to them today. Things were said that needed to be. Should see a different team next season. I kinda figured the name alone would draw attention but it seems there are some that have already contacted the school about moving. We'll see I guess

True, however the 2 SP teams he faced in 2004-2005 were likely 2 of the worst SP teams we’ve had in the last 20 years. It’s a little different this time around. 

2004 team was but the 2005 team was 10 - 2.  They lost to Jasper that year 13 - 12 at Jasper and lost in the Playoffs to FC 14 to 13.  FC lost to the eventual state champ TC County 28 to 21 the following week.

I heard this name today as well. No idea who he is but I wish him luck if it’s him. 

You'll hear plenty. Some wont like the hire simply because of what happened when he left. Not to downplay it any either. Serious stuff.

I won't be on too much. I just followed the coaching search a little.

May get back on during spring practice.

Parallel universe.  Still calling it like he sees it.

A couple of things I like about Pruitt is he’s a old school kind of guy and he will flat tell little Billy’s dad and mom don’t be trying to kiss my butt, it’s not going to work! He don’t care what your last name is or where you live, you don’t give 100% and don’t know what you’re doin you will not start!

Must have cleared all that up because he is currently DC at Cape Coral High School. 
No such baggage with Pruitt. Great man. Great coach. Hiring him takes the stinger out of some of us in the south,  because of great respect for Coach Pruitt.
