How does Baylor always find a good coach

Easy. They let smart people pick the coach and that is probably the AD. At UT up until Heupel, Haslem basically picked Kiffin, Dooley, and Ok’d Botch. Fulmer picked Pruitt and the rest is history.

he said OK to Kifin Hammy actually picked him. he did say let's go with Dooley but they had already been told nope from 8-10 other coaches. Anderson said take Pruitt as Fulmer actually wanted Tucker.

Dave Aranda has been a brilliant DC at a couple places and has good command of the English language. Jeremy Pruitt is no Dave Aranda.

lots of defensiveness in here. saying Aranda did a great job this season is not an indictment of Hoople, although it probably belongs in the Around the NCAA forum. Art Briles fought for and received a $15 million dollar buyout from Baylor and he was cleared of wrongdoing by the NCAA. The fact that he has not been hired is about public perception and not anything he did or didn't due in relation to a sexual assault report.

Briles did and Rhule did. Why can Baylor, a nobody in the grand scheme of things make good hires, and we have been lost for 20 years?

Again do you think CJH could not go to Baylor and score points as well against a weak schedule? Baylor doesn’t play anyone in OOC regular season games AND doesn’t play the too SEC teams. The schedules speak for themselves

Why is Penn State despised by most fans for the sexual attacks but Baylor seems to get a pass for sexual attacks?

I like most around don't care for Lane but I noticed in the ncaa bowl thread most were pulling for Baylor. How soon you forget.

And a player murdering another and a coach covering it up. They are all scum down there

They get no pass.
They’re just as bad.
But the way Kiffin is portrayed like he’d magically fix anything is laughable.

Ask @BUBear how Rhule left the program…

AD Mack Rhoades has a history of making good hires...does his homework.Rhule took an NFL job that he really didn't care too much about because the iron was hot and he knew last season would be a rebuilding year that would look bad on his resume. Rhule tanked his first season here to make his resume look better. There was enough talent on that team to win 6 games and earn a bowl birth but we lost to super powers Liberty and UTSA at home to open the season.

Baylor, the historical doormat and Tennessee, the historical top ten program differences over the last approximate 20 plus years.......

At Tennessee, Academia went to war with Athletics in the 1990s. Some professors and others on the academia side despised, decried, and actively worked to destroy athletics. There was basically a war between Fulmer and rogue members of academia. Doug Dickey (AD) and Fulmer did a good job trying to keep these rouge individuals in their places. They were loud, the were hateful, they were bad people who were miserable people and wanted everyone else miserable like them. Sound familiar? They hated sports (football especially) and either too ignorant or didn't care to realize that a healthy athletic department paid dividends (literally) to the academic side. I feel it's the latter. The enemy within.

Doug Dickey retired. That's when Tennessee made their first critial error. They hired Hamilton as AD. The complete opposite of Doug Dickey, polar opposite. The infestation of self-hating reprobates on the Academia side lick their chops. They took over. Shortly after a domino effect took place that further drove the University of Tennessee into the depths of nearly athletic nonexistence.

The hires of Jimmy Cheeks, Dave Hart and others further suppressed what Mike Hamilton had already started.

The University was infested with haters, spineless so-called leaders, reprobates with loser mentalities. Individuals that either didn't understand that a healthy and top-notch winning athletic program was actually great for the academia side or knew and purposefully conspired to further drive UT athletics below the ground. I think the latter.

Well, like all things that are driven by corruption, evildoers and people with bad intentions eventually they have their day. Eventually goodness will come out of darkness.

I think that's where UT has finally gotten to. Tennessee has nearly rid itself from the infestation of incompetence from certain administrators and rid itself of those purposefully seeking to harm Tennessee. Slowly but surely they have stamped out the enemy within.

I believe Tennessee finally has a leader in the AD position. A winner. A competitor. A person that understands athletics and academia can live together and benefit one another. I believe Danny White is this kind of individual. We need to get behind him 100 percent.

Baylor: an excellent school academically basically took the opposite path. They started building their athletic department in all sports.

This is a little over dramatic. Baylor football barely has a .500 historical record. Grant Teaff had a few good years, but they were awful for roughly 20 years before Briles. Aranda went 2-7 last year. It also helps to be in a state where 3 stars are equivalent to 4 stars in other states.

Go back to before Baylor hired Briles. Check their records before he was hired. Baylor used to be the whipping boy of the old SWC, and for a while in the Big 12, -2.

BMDs started pumping big money into the program, all sports actually, and leveled the playing field. Before Briles football was an afterthought to the administration.

They’ve gone from title 9 and terrible to winning the Sugar Bowl. Their basketball team is real good too.
