I should not have compared Richt and Meyer to Fulmer. I was trying to make the point that Richt and Meyer's were not "big name" coaches when UF and Georgia hired them. Sure they had some experience as coaches, but I don't think when Urban Meyer was hired they thought he would win a National...

peaygolf89, First off how many national championships did UT win before Fulmer was head coach? How many national championships was Lane a part of at USC? Also, the program at USC was terrible in the late 90's. It did not turn around until Pete Carroll took over.

Not proven anything? What did Fulmer prove before he was hired as head coach? Mark Richt? Urban Meyer? Kiffin was the youngest coach in the NFL and recruited some of the best players USC has had. Sure Pete Carroll was a huge help. Do you want another 6-6 season for the next 2 years?

The ultimate goal of 99% of the football players at UT is to play in the NFL. So you have a YOUNG coach who was head coach in the NFL for almost 2 years. He has won National Titles at USC and his dad is probably one of the best defensive coaches in the NFL. I would think there is not many...

Was Fulmer a big name when we hired him? To say that Kiffin is not a winner is a stretch. He did not win at a crappy Raider team. He only manged to be the O/C of a USC team that was either BCS Champs or close to being champs in 5 of 6 years.

Jason Garrett will be the next coach of the Cowboys when Wade Phillips leaves. That is common knowledge. Look for Cowher to end up at Detroit or stay in retirement.

Most of you are missing the point about USC. It was not a good football team in the 90's until Pete Carroll took over. UCLA was the best team in CA. Kiffin was promoted quickly through the system at USC. He has been around football his whole life and Lane's dad was a mentor to Pete Carroll...

VolsRule, Keep in mind what you said about recruiting at USC. The team under Paul Hackett from 1998-2000 had a record of 19-18. " By 2000, some observers surmised that USC football's days of national dominance were fading; the football team's record of 37–35 from 1996 to 2001 was their...
