That seems to be where the conversation always returns to. Did he inherit anything close to an SEC roster? Doesn't matter, Pruitt lost to Ga St. Did he sign, and is now forced to start, promising young players who are on a steep learning curve? Doesn't matter, Pruitt lost to Ga St. Would UT have won the BYU game if one of the DBs hadn't blown coverage at the end of regulation? Doesn't matter, Pruitt lost to Ga St. Would UT have a winning record right now if JG could see a barn and then get the ball reasonably close to it? Doesn't matter, Pruitt lost to Ga St. So if that's the litmus test, and nothing else matters, then the answer should be obvious, and immediate. If that's the litmus test.
