This difference between the to coaches is not the ability to recruit, but the level of assistant coaches. Chavis and Cutcliffe were a pretty good pair compared to what UT has now.

The problem is, on offense we don't have an OL coach with any experience at this level. On top of that, Mahoney has zero ties to this area. Bajakian and Elder are the same way, no SEC experience or ties to this area. That leaves Gillespie and Coach Z as the lone guys who have ties in the SEC area from past coaching jobs on offense. Thig, Willie, and Jancek all coached in the SEC before they got here, and Strip has been coaching DL for 25+ years. You don't coach 25+ years at this level unless you know what you are doing. That's why our defense is improving so much faster than our offense. We have more coaches on that side of the ball who have SEC experience, and who have ties to this area that helps us tons in recruiting.
For the record, great coaches always surround themselves with at least 4-5 coaches who have ties to the area in which you are coaching. CBJ has done that, but it just happens the best of those 4-5 coaches are on the defensive side of the ball, i.e. Willie, Jancek, and Thing.
This difference between the two coaches is not the ability to recruit, but the level of assistant coaches. Chavis and Cutcliffe were a pretty good pair compared to what UT has now.

Here is the real difference:
1. Butch inherited one of the worst situations in the history of college football
2. Fulmer inherited one of the best situations in the history of college football.

I agree, but the instant gratification generation. Won't allow that.
