SOURCE: Former #Tennessee head coach Jeremy Pruitt is working on a deal to join the #Jets coaching staff. Jeremy Pruitt has had discussions with a few NFL teams, I'm told. The Giants are a possibility. (He and Joe Judge worked together at Alabama on Nick Saban's staff).

Pruitt just fired for cause by #Vols. Cause said to be NCAA violations but believed to be too much losing

Giants ILB coach Kevin Sherrer was Pruitt’s DC before joining NYG last year. Joe Judge has a vacancy at OLB coach. Could see Sherrer and Pruitt working together well if that’s an option.
Obviously Judge and Pruitt have Bama ties.
I would have taken their OL Coach

He has since been hired by Auburn, but in addition to developing NFL OL ran a potent offense at Colorado State where Michael Gallup dominated.

Pruitt was officially Fired for cause -- i.e., giving college recruits McDonald's bags stuffed with cash -- that's still an NCAA violation!

Fired for cause and violations. He must be taking Bielema's spot.

The Chiefs should have hired Friend and they would have had Friend and Bieniemy.
