Let's first examine what personnel he was dealt. 3 starting DL thst would have been rotational DL on any other sec team and none will ever play ball again. Two fantastic outside backers but one with blown shoulders. Two inside linebackers that were completely ineffective against the run or pass. Both might play in the NFL but will be late round picks and simply not enough athletic ability to stick.a fantastic 3rd outside backer that had not developed physically enough to stop the run. One senior db Snd one soft more db. The rest were either walk on, freshman or cast offs. A great coach took that group and built a top 20 defense. This year will be significantly different.all Pruitt needs is players. Stopping the run will be a strength. The man is building erk Russell junkyard defense. Remember erk was not the head coach either. He he!
