New DC search - day two (Pruitt is the man)

Multiple news outlets are reporting it now. But the AJC (which I slammed earlier this morning, you're welcome!) was first in reporting that FSU defensive coordinator Jeremy Pruitt (who I practically dismissed as a candidate this morning as well, you're welcome!) is Mark Richt's next defensive coordinator.

Jeremy Pruitt, defensive coordinator for Florida State during its national championship run this past season, is expected to accept the same position at Georgia, multiple sources told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

Pruitt, 39, was said to be in Athens Tuesday, where he met with Richt and other members of Georgia’s staff.

Pruitt did outstanding work at Alabama. And his work this season in Tallahassee stands up easily by its own merit.
