Miami shouldn't be on that list. They have terrible facilities (don't even own their own stadium), terrible fan support, very little money, and have little tradition outside of the 80's and 90's. They'll never be back. I question whether FSU will ever be back either. On the other...

You Kiffin Koolaid drinkers act like fans can only pick between Fulmer and Kiffin. Nothing could be further from the truth. It’s a silly to assume that anyone who think Kiffin was not a good choice wanted Fulmer to stay. No one wanted Fulmer gone more than me. I was ecstatic when I...

"Landed 3 top recruits?????!!" Last time I checked, National Signing Day is 5 months away. I still wonder how many of those "landed" recruits are going to stick around when Kiffin has a few more performances like last night. After all, why wouldn’t a recruit just go 300 miles to the...

That Kiffin Koolaid really clouds one's judgment doesn't it? You're forgetting home-field advantage in your equation. Auburn won at home last year on its way to a miserable 5-7 season. This year, Auburn beat UT in front of a hostile crowd on its way to a 5-0 start. I’d call that an...

Come on, put down the Kiffin Koolaid and look at the situation objectively. Nearly every single successful college coach got to their jobs by successfully coaching at a lesser, second tier school. Meanwhile, Kiffin has never been successful as a head coach. I know it's a hard...

Well, I think I did a pretty good job of disputing it. But, needless to say, you want more. How's this: The last three BCS Championship Coaches, Brown, Miles, and Meyer went 9-3, 11-2, and 9-3 respectively in their first years at their current schools. Oh, and in case you were...

Yep, but Saban had been successful at Toledo, MSU, and LSU. He had also won two SECC and a MNC. Carrol had been successful in the NFL, coaching NE to an AFC East Championship. Meanwhile, Kiffin has never been successful as head coach and has a paltry 7-18 lifetime record.

The point is that nearly all the successful coaches that OP named (with the exception of Stoops) had been very successful as Head Coaches prior to them landing at their current gig. While the OP may be correct that the first-year record doesn't correlate with ultimate success, I am...

First using Randy Shannon & Mike Gundy as examples of success is silly. Neither had won anything. If you think UT football should aspire to have similar success as Randy Shannon & Mike Gundy, you're probably rooting for the wrong team. Most of the coaches had proven themselves already as...

Yeah, but at least it was another moral victory for the Kiffin Koolaid bunch.

Just like Kiffin, Chizik inherited a 5-7 team with relatively bare cupboard. Yet, Chizik is 5-0 and Kiffin is 2-3.

I'm very glad Fulmer gone. That being said, I'm not sold on Kiffin. He has the exact same record as Fulmer had last year at this time. Just like Fulmer, Kiffin lost to a very weak PAC 10 team (they went 4-8 year for heaven's sake). And, don't get going on the recruiting either...

We just lost to a very overrated team by 10 points even after they had two crucial turnovers. We also lost at home to a PAC 10 team that went 4-8 last season. We're in the SEC West and still have to face Arkansas, LSU, Alabama, and Ole Miss. And, you think we're going to run the table...

Just like we beat UCLA at home? Please, we just lost for the fifth straight time to a VERY overrated Florida. We lost because our so-called great coaching staff played to keep it "respectible" rather than playing to win. But, keep sipping the Kiffin Koolaid. At least it puts you in a...

Wooooooooooo Hooooooooooo! Moral victory! Moral victory! Moral victory! Nevermind we're 1-2 and just lost for the fifth straight time to Florida. Moral victory! Moral victory! Moral victory! Wooooooooooo Hooooooooooo!
