At least according to Chip Towers.
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.
This is an interesting move on more than one level, starting with my guess that Pruitt’s going to have a bigger contract than Grantham did.
More to come once this is official.

UPDATE: Sounds like this is pretty much a real thing.
And I may be wrong about the money, which is even more interesting.

UPDATE #2: A couple more nuggets from Gentry Estes:
It is believed that Pruitt held the lone offer from UGA in the Bulldogs’ quick search to replace Grantham. The deal is believed to be three years in the range of $850,000 per year, per a source…
… In two seasons in Tuscaloosa, Pruitt played alongside current Georgia offensive line coach Will Friend, who remains a close friend.
So much for the Kirby rumors.
