| Why is it that blue chip recruits, all world guys, come to UT and fall off of the map?? In the past few years UT seems to have done less with more talent than any program in the nation. How can we have top ten classes and go 5-6??

| Discipline is coachable to a point. Cut seems to have had an awful lot of clean up behind RS who was clearly in over his head.
However I would also say that it happens everywhere in college football, sometimes because of injuries, attitude, or just the overrating of ones ability. We just don't hear about it at other schools. | |

| Is it me or do we have a greater number of flops than other programs?? If so, then it must be coaching. Just take a look at what Pearl accomplished.

| I think we have had our share of offensive flops recently that are certainly directly related to coaching. | |

| Who knows, some blame Sanders, but GAVol has brought up the point, numerous times, that he was responsible for developing a myriad of successful runningbacks in the 90's, including Jamal Lewis.

Just take a look at what Pearl accomplished. | I'd be willing to bet that if you ask fans from other elite programs, there would be plenty that thought their program had the most flops. It just seems that way for us because we're coming off such a bad season and we're much more critical and attentive towards our team than we are to any other program.

| I went to highschool with the Gatorade player of the year in GA. He went to Auburn, hurt his shoulder, and was never heard from again. | |
