Looks like a lot of connections to Judge and other coaches. Bama and UGA seem to be in our wheelhouse.
The only obvious opening on the D staff  
BigBlueNH : 1/27/2021 11:05 pm : link
is OLB coach, right? Not that they couldn't shuffle things around.

Pruitt's main role, with his long resume including HC and DC levels of prior experience, may be situated as Patrick Graham's understudy this year and successor to the DC position.

Judge is all about thorough preparation and the Giants need a succession plan NOW.

Didn't Graham just turn down outside opportunities and sign an extension with the Giants?

A good side note  
SCGiantsFan : 1/28/2021 7:49 am : link
He will be very familiar with this years draft class. Another in house source to draw upon and have more information on players.

Excellent point. With the combine being cancelled and access to prospects being limited, this can be a big advantage.
Good hire  
Lines of Scrimmage : 1/28/2021 9:23 am : link
Has roots with Saban and DC experience. Saban and Belichick have for decades talked defense with one another so probably so shared beliefs with Graham.

Perhaps some long term thinking if they lose Graham at some point that you have a potential replacement or at least someone you can observe for a while.

I am sure Judge already has a plan for when Graham leaves and it might very well be a coach currently on the staff.
He was the DC at FSU in 2013  
BigBlueBuff : 1/28/2021 11:02 am : link
when they won the National Championship but left after one year amid rumors that he was sleeping with one of administrative assistants in the athletic department. He's generally been a pretty toxic figure at most places, but he always seemed to behave for Saban. Great defensive mind, hope the other stuff is under control.
Fired for alleged recruiting violations at Tenn  
SirLoinOfBeef : 1/28/2021 11:12 am : link
His lawyer says it's the university's way of trying to get out of paying him by firing him "with cause". Who knows?...

Nice to see the Giants not letting that stop them from pursuing him.

Solid WR played for him at Tenn. Josh Palmer. Been looking good at Senior Bowl practices.

i think it's a good move. guy has a good background, been a head coach at a legit program. possible replacement for Graham down the road...i like it
Football coaching/recruiting/managing maybe the last of the “old boys”  
plato : 1/28/2021 11:50 am : link
society. Virtually every coach etc has connections of one sort or another with another as do recruiters/drafters and front office managers. thank goodness it’s no longer a white boys only society but for many reasons it will remain an “ old boys” society for sometime to come.

So going through who Pruitt knows, worked with, drafted with is just as true for him as most anyone else that might have been added, EXCEPT Judge worked with Pruitt.
setting the record for former Tennessee head coaches on staff

Wtf are you taking about? Two coaches on the staff is now setting some kind of record? Two? Seriously?

Seems like you’re just looking for something to bitch about...
im not bitching snowflake  
YorkAveGiant : 1/28/2021 12:51 pm : link
just pointing out we have 2 former Tennessee Head Coaches on the team.

found it odd. its a good program though.

I threw in the TC stuff for comparison.


good lord....
That sucks.  
Gatorade Dunk : 1/28/2021 1:54 pm : link
I was hoping he'd take over the HC duties at Dwight-Englewood.

Can't ignore my alma mater, after all.
Wonder what's up with Oline Coach?

Nothing heard in a little while.
I live just south of Knoxville  
Bill in TN : 1/28/2021 9:20 pm : link
and read about the Vols 24/7. Up here Pruitt is universally acclaimed as an asshole and an idiot. Not a fan of having this guy anywhere near the Giants. Judge's affinity for SEC rejects gives me great pause for him being the right guy for us.

Is there more to the story? Those are harsh words.

Do you think that if he had a winning record, he might have been regarded a little better? Or, would still be coaching there?

I have a question. There’s an offensive lineman at Tenn, a guard . Supposed to be very good but has a lung issue with blood clots. It’s serious and is probably will cause him to drop in the draft; I’ve read he would have been a 1st rounder. Since medical evaluations are reduced, would Pruitt be bringing information to the Giants regarding his health prospects?

That's likely the answer.

Phillip Fulmer is a huge POS. Guy has burned many bridges along the way. Outside of Knoxville, he has little respect or support. However, in Knoxville he is considered the face of UT and is lauded for his continued loyalty to the school.
Hey..

He’s a guy that could replace Graham if  
Simms11 : 1/29/2021 9:16 pm : link
he were to leave after next season.

NCAA violations are BS. Most colleges do what he did, he just got caught.
