Where is the promotion? Oklahoma could play for a Natl Champ next season. Tenn just got set back quite a bit. I can't see a coach like Stoops coming to Tenn. with the work that it requires right now. I am still puzzled why Chris Petersen keeps getting overlooked for vacancies.
Stoops at Oklahoma:
Top 5 in coaching salary
great recruits from TX every year
an easier conference to play in
storied tradition of football
great game played every year with national attention: Red River Rivalry
I don't understand bashing the Big 12 when Tenn is looking for its next coach from that conference. If they truly are a bunch of cupcakes, then does it take a real coach to win in that league.
So are you choosing which rankings matter, seems to me like you enjoy Kiffin's success in recruiting but don't believe they are accurate for Fulmer.
2008 class: who would want to go there when the university is in turmoil, Fulmer fired before the season was over and the fans calling for his...
When you talk about Crompton you are talking about the #2 Qb in the nation that year. He is in year 5, how do you not show improvement? Don't act like he is a top 3 round QB.
Vols recruiting: #3 class in 2007, #23 in 2006, and #4 in 2005 according to rivals.
Yeah the players really...
No so far it has only been one, and what does he have to show for it. Five losses on a schedule that anyone could have pulled that off. Lane is riding his dad's coattails along with Eric Berry. We will see how long his "success" lasts once pappa and berry are gone.
"You are what your record says you are." Lane Kiffin as a head coach is 12-20. Sure he had a good recruiting year but so did Fulmer. Fulmer was in the top 15 2 of the past 3 years, to act like talent is not on this team is crazy. If you are pretending like Fulmer could not coach I remember...
