Dude stfu you have fViking issues, Pruitt and briles are both accomplished coaches but I doubt we heard people make crazy claims that they were recruiting hires or that they can't coach when they was hired from the highschool rank
Pruitt was absolutely hired to recruit and he did an awesome job of it. He happened to blossom into a great DC too. But you, in your infinite idiocy, think that because Pruitt turned out to be a great DC that he wasn't hired to recruit first.
As far as Pruitt being a great recruiter or hired to secure Hoover kids there isn't evidence of that with his former high school. Alabama didn't sign any Hoover kids in the immediate aftermath of his hiring. Maybe Hoover didn't have any Alabama level kids and he secured players from other schools but no Hoover kids showed up after Pruitt's hiring.
I never said anything about Hoover. Pruitt has always been known as a monster recruiter, and that's how he made his initial bones. He was hired to recruit. He blossomed into a great DC over the years. Alabaga didn't hire him as a DB coach based on his long track record of coaching up great DBs in college or the NFL.
For the most part we are all bright people on here. Understand every situation is unique in its story. For instance Pruitt was definitely hired from hoover to recruit. It was a pretty arranged package. On top of that understand to kids from that neck of the woods let alone hoover Alabama is wholier than the church of latter day saints. You are definitely going to bama or there's a small possibility your family is ****ed up & outcasts & in that case you go to Auburn. That is wrote in blood there. Same as in floriduh they have the same **** going on with edgewater like in that class with rainey,& the pounceys etc. We don't have a 100% feeder school in large part because we gotta reestablish ourselves on the field. Regardless rumph was brought in asome a position coach because we greatly value his work with developing dbs. Obviously recruiting is significant but it's secondary to being a coach & teaching these kids we do get how to play. Crazy how Paul Williams who never contributed anything to anybody in recruiting nor coaching was held to even a fraction of the standard rumph is being held to... is there a debate in how much better CB play was on the field or do we give all credit to Manny & kul but no one else. It's always some crazy double standard good or bad & it really is hypocritical & tiring. Just give him time & well be fine.
First of all, Paul Williams was universally loathed on here. The bigger targets, rightfully, were the scheme and philosophy. You could be the best DB coach in the world, and you were never going to succeed in Folden/Duh'Nofrio's system down here. Rumph's DBs would have failed in that system too.
Rumph's CBs, in part, did a good job because of Diaz's downhill attacking scheme and philosophy and also, in part, because Corn is a god. We also had a ton of experience back there, so it was a little easier to transition.
I'm sure Rumph is a good guy, and you and others like him. I've got no beef with him personally. But he's failed badly at signing guys that he coached in HS. It's irrefragable, my friend. If he misses on Campbell, who referred to him as a "second father figure" then just stick a fork in him because he's useless.
