Alot of people were calling for Trooper Taylor to be the OC....How many plays has Troop called? I would take this guy over him any day of the week...

In the past 10 years, yes. In the decade of the 2000's, no.

My fault, I was under the assumption that a decade meant 10 years. Was not aware that 2000-2008 was a decade. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Well, we haven't technically had a decade in the 2000's...our crystal football is getting dusty, but it's still from within the past decade.

National Championships are tough...I don't really mind that it's been 9 years and counting since the last National Title....what bothers me is that it's been just as long since our last SEC Championship. Tennessee should never have a decade in between conference championships.

Hubbs story was freshly posted when I posted this and it is now said that he is a potential runningbacks coach not OC. It was a typo and it has since been edited. Too bad but I hope we can get this guy as a good recruiter.

Fulmer needs to offer him something more then a lateral move. IMO he's got a lot more job security working for Meyer, then perennial hot seat candidate Fulmer. Either more money, responsibility, etc.

It's really irrelevant. But what is relevant is that with the direction this program seems headed, we won't see another NC for another 40 years. Plenty of 8-10 win seasons, just no NC.

I think it's probably an attractive opportunity for him. He would come to a program that recruits top-shelf running backs and actually hands them the ball.

Agreed. And that's the point. The guys we are recruiting now don't care how good we were in the 90's.

Yeah, it isn't just a lateral move because of the fact he doesn't get much recognition other than in recruiting at UF.
