Having seen Pruitt pull Maurer and Shrout out of games for any mistake, or even almost mistake, while leaving JG in games after numerous mistakes, I believe he controls which qb plays. Worse, he has no respect for the qb position, he basically wants the qb to stay out of his way, while his Defense wins the game. He does not trust the Offense to win the game.
He apparently gives first team reps only to JG. So, unlike great Offensive Coaches such as Mullen and others who get all their backups ready to play with the Ones on Offense, he does not prepare any other qb to play. This continues through all preseason practices into during season practices. We have a defensive coordinator in charge of Offense.
He appears to have attached his pride and therefore stubbornness (along with his ignorance on the Offense), to his qb choice. He, as most of us, hates to be told what to do, so he refuses to change, or delegate the running of the Offense, including qb competition and development, to those who have decades of experience on the Offensive side of football.
So, recruiting going well? That’s not enough. He is not mature, he sounds like he has had no formal education. These things we could accept, if he wins, but he will not win against better teams with his ignorant approach to football Offense.
If you were a very good qb recruit, would you want to play for Pruitt? The quarterback will always be the most important player on the team. By his actions, I don’t believe Pruitt believes this. I do not believe he will change,
he is a defensive coordinator.
