There is a ton of speculation right now on who the next DC is going to be. We know Scott Shafer was picked up by DJ at Maryland and it seemed Jimmy wasn’t that interested anyway. The two candidates that seem to be coming up is Georgia’s DC Jeremy Pruitt and Stanford DC Lance Anderson. Reports are that Jeremy is scheduled to meet with Jimmy on Friday. I wouldn’t be surprised if Jimmy has already spoken with Lance. Some have speculated that Lance might be considering an offer from Michigan right now.

Pruitt is the biggest name out there for an available DC. He is known as a great coach and a great recruiter, though he does have some baggage. He is known as a tough person to work with and there were reports he got into some type of physical altercation with former Georgia coach Mark Richt this past season. He is not expected to be retained when Alabama DC Kirby Smart takes over Georgia. There is some thinking that Pruitt may also be a candidate for Alabama’s DC role as that is where he played his college ball. Pruitt’s specialty is also coaching DB’s and Michigan already has two of those coaches currently on staff.
