Saw this on out kick the coverage today and thought it was worth a post. Very interesting points made with the similarities between UT and Michigan and i have to agree with him. Also his statement about Vandy is priceless.
2. Brady Hoke looks helpless as Michigan coach.
"Is it too early to start asking who the Wolverines want as their next coach? I've always thought Michigan and Tennessee were mirror images of one another, two top ten all-time winning programs with massive stadiums and strong fan support. Both have fallen on hard times after replacing iconic national title winning coaches, Lloyd Carr at Michigan and Phil Fulmer at Tennessee.
Rich Rodriguez and Derek Dooley were almost twins, posting near identical records of 15-22 for Rich Rod and 15-21 for Dooley. But now Tennessee looks like its on great footing with Butch Jones. And while Hoke looked excellent in 2011, every year since then has gotten worse.
So who's next for Michigan? Would Les Miles finally leave LSU?"
4. Vanderbilt might have the worst offense in the state of Tennessee, high school teams included.
"I apologize to everyone who I told to take Vandy +20 against Ole Miss. I simply didn't believe that Mason's team could be this bad. I was wrong. They are awful beyond belief.
If you've ever questioned the value of a head coach and his staff, Vandy went from a top ten coach and staff in college football to a bottom ten coach and staff in college football. The result is stark.
Vandy's in a tough spot here because Franklin erased the argument that no one could win at Vanderbilt. Whereas in past years Commodore fans might have been willing to accept awful on-field results, Franklin elevated expectations and eliminated excuses. Then Mason arrived on campus and talked about winning the SEC East. He even said that Vandy had equal or better defensive talent than Stanford.
Uh...
Meanwhile, check out Penn State. There's a good chance the Nittany Lions are 5-0 when they travel to Michigan and I like their odds of knocking off Ohio State in Happy Valley."
