You could be right but I think even he claimed different. He just didn't seem to have the heart for it any more. You're right. He didn't like the way the game was changing and started being outclassed on the field and especially where his success was built- recruiting. I have been very...

You always try to get the best guy you can but they had to have more than 2 guys. In one way, JA is pretty close to ideal. I would put the "odds" 80-10-10 in his favor right now. But he isn't so talented/certain that one of the others can't change that. If a "no chance" guy had come in...

You're right. Fulmer probably could have gotten a job. The rest just got exposed by their time at UT. Looking back, I think not hiring Cut was the stupidest decision of that walk in the valley.

No one threw players under the bus like Jones. You're right. Even when he would say things like, "It starts with me... he would qualify it to mean that the players were at fault". I didn't even get to the fact that he wasn't a very good coach on top of all the leadership issues. He came in...

Your QB is in the most favorable place to be the leader of the O. Others can be the leader but it is harder to do it well. The QB has the most immediate and obvious opportunity.

He was a fraud. Pruitt was stupid. Kiffin was a jerk. But neither really pretended to be something they weren't. Jones was just fake. He was a guy holding his breath trying to make a suit that was two sizes too big look like it fit. I think there is also an element of unfulfilled promise...

Not disputing that completely. Except that it defies the claims of those who put a lot of stock in the analysts at recruiting sites. Copying the work of successful coaches may work... but it doesn't make them the "experts" they portray themselves as being.

Bias isn't necessarily a "conspiracy" but is usually the product of some type of group think. Honestly I think it is bias "for" other programs/coaches resulting in indirect disrespect for UT and other programs more than "I hate Tennessee". If you have two players who look equally talented that...

LOL. This is as predictable as rain in Seattle. Hope the kid isn't hurt by it... just a part of committing to UT.

I actually agree with the argument... but you have to have the credibility to enforce it.

If CJH fails... and he might... it won't be for the same reasons. Richt would have made a fine AD. He tried to prove out the "CEO" coach model. It works like it worked for Bobby Cox and the Braves. Not many ups and downs but definitely no extreme "ups". Pelini had personal issues that...

Smart has the EASIEST recruiting job in the country. Georgia is loaded with talent and he is HC at the only national level program in the state. Not only that but their HS talent plays against elite competition and gets training on par or better than any other state. Georgia HS players from...

Just spitting out a theory... but maybe Heupel's O isn't flexible to talent. Maybe he needs to focus on getting guys who fit his system instead... particularly at QB. Milton was more "talented" than Hooker in just about every way. Hooker was by far the better QB in Heupel's O. Nico was...

PS- One of my best friends in HS and after was a UNC grad. If anything proves I can really hate something about someone and still be friends with them....

I don't remember disliking you. I lock horns with people here from time to time. Only a few have I found a reason not to like. Mostly the frauds like Dobbs4Heisman. I often agree with people I "don't like" and disagree with people I do like. I can respect someone either way.
