I certainly hope you know I am.

If not, you’re a bigger dumbass than I thought.

 

[Orangeslice13]

But seriously.
Who does everyone think is going to win the coaching search lottery?

No one.

Unless Kiffin leaves Ole Miss.

I don’t think he will leave Ole Miss for another college job.
The nfl might still interest him though

 

[82_VOL_83]

Deion has a lot of health issues. I am honestly surprised he's still coaching. I am not going to "pile on."

I've always liked Prime. Coaching football was not smart on his part.

 

[Orangeslice13]

Not that I know anymore than anyone else

 

[82_VOL_83]

Freeze to the Hill!

I don’t think so either.

I am hoping he is coaching the Titans next year.

Eggsactly.
Fulmer lucked into a championship. Hypel might also

I mean technically you could say that about a lot of people. Orgeron lucked into a championship because of Burrow

 

[NorCalVol67]

Heupel is a better coach than Fulmer.

 

[82_VOL_83]

1000%

 

[Orangeslice13]

Heupel is a better coach than Fulmer.

Yes. Hypel is the best Tennessee coach of my lifetime.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Yes. Hypel is the best Tennessee coach of my lifetime.

I will not put him above John Majors. And while I was too young to remember, Dickey.

It’s true of a lot of coaches. You have to be good enough to be in the conversation but the ball takes funny bounces. You can usually find a win or two along the way that makes a championship. Those that win multiple times seriously reduce the likelihood it was luck.

Agree. Majors won a natty at Pitt, of all schools...

Majors had trouble playing the best players over loyalty to those who “paid their dues.” He did win a title……with Tony Dorsett.

Tony MFing Dorsett!!

 

[NorCalVol67]

But he was a great football coach. I along with everyone else would get frustrated as hell with him, f’ing 3rd down quick kicks, but he knew how to head coach. In that era, would never work now.

 

[NorCalVol67]

Tony MFing Dorsett!!

At least you spelled his name correctly this time.

 

[NorCalVol67]

And one player does not win a championship. And Dorsett is in my top 5 favorite football players.

 

[Orangeslice13]

True but they don’t win it without him.
And we’re back to being in the area and things going your way. I remember Majors pretty well. And I don’t think he should have been fired when he was. But clearly he had lost the team to Fulmer when out recovering from the heart attack.

He was pissed at UT for a long time and I don’t blame him

 

[Tin Man]

I’m thinking that there wasn’t the limit on scholarships that’s in place now, and Majors’ Pitt team was stacked with talent the year they were selected as National Champions.

 

[Behr]

I never liked Fulmer.

I don't disrespect him with name calling, but...well, thats all.

nothing against Deion - i have no idea what Boos reason was wanting to go to Colorado -- was it his momma ?

 

[508mikey]

I've always liked Prime. Coaching football was not smart on his part.

I thought he would give it up once his 2 kids left
