I don't understand where everybody's reservations about the spread are coming from. Were we expecting to win the SEC Championship next year? I wasn't. If you're realistic about your expectations, then you'll realize that Auburn winning a National Title with this offense and Texas A&M beating...

From what I've heard, Jancek didn't do much play calling and Martinez is much better suited to be a position coach. We have the personnel to run a pretty decent Tampa 2. As for what this style of offense can do in the SEC given the right players, see Florida '06 '08, Auburn '10, Texas A&M '12.

Getting my info from a JRM quote in a write up Callahan did on 247 FWIW.

I believe that JRM is an EE also.

Take this with a grain of salt, but I know somebody who gets his hair cut by the same guy who cuts Hart's hair. After some casual haircutter-haircuttee talk, my source tells me this bomb was dropped. The papers are already signed and checks written. Gruden is ours. This guy knew about the Dooley...

Riot, I don't think you can use your graph to explain the effectiveness of recruiting good players. There is a slightly positive slope on the trendline but I would say that your graph reflects the ability that coaching and growth have on highschool players than highschool player rankings have on...

I think I'll put a few dollars on us. With those odds you'd be nuts not to. I've seen crazier things happen (Cards 11 in '11).

Heard the AD was dissatisfied with Hart. The large majority of VN posters are on their "short list." They seem to know more about managing university athletics than anybody in the industry.

A thread from TOS that I've been wanting to try and articulate on these forums but don't have the post count to do so. This comparison has been swirling around in my head for months now. For those that don't want to click, it's a pretty sound comparison of Dooley's and Saban's first...

How many of those classes were backed by Shapiro's money?

This. Knoxville sports media has turned our fanbase into a blathering bunch of idiots. The media has no class and so, by extension, neither does vol nation anymore.

Ashamed that the Peyton Manning thing made it to a national news outlet. Now the whole country knows just how stupid our fans are.

I ain't seent this vijuh yet. Thanks fer postin' it.

Fat jokes aside, I hate to see the big guy miss out on the job. As bad as he was, he cried when we kicked him out and I just feel bad about that. :hmm: I think this just proves that it was time for him to go. It seems like all of the Fulmerites would have realized by now that if he were as good...

Potential here to be an epic thread. *grabs popcorn*
