Chip will only leave if he gets to pick his successor, which he wants to be his OC. At least that was the deal last year, and it was that condition that made the Tampa Bay deal fall apart.....local legend is that's what happened anyway. I do have a buddy that I work with who has some pretty...

Oh Hell no. Mostly because we came out and publicly said we will be there unless Oregon backs out when Chip Kelly accused us of trying to back out.. We cannot back down now. And completely selfishly for me! I live in Eugene... And I would never hear the end of it! Bad enough these damn Ducks...

That's actually a good point, I forgot about that fact.

I don't understand all this griping about a 'cheap' hire? The guy is getting over 3 million a year, that's by no means cheap. Also, I know Doolittle beat him and that's honestly my only reservation with the guy. The fact remains he's won 4 conference titles in 6 years. He's doing something...

I have a short list of teams I hate....Most teams I respect for being competitive, and i want to beat them, but I don't HATE them. I DO hate Bama. I DO hate Notre Dame. Think I'll earn some relationship points that night...."....Hey baby, I'll skip the game, what do you want to do?"

Is it me or did the Arkansas hiring Wisconsin's coach come straight outta left field?? That's a name I don't think I've heard anyone float around as available??

I am trying to balance how much I want that to be true... And how crappy I'll feel if it doesn't come true. If we hire another unproven FCS/FBS coach I'm going to need talked off the ledge.... I hope you're right.

Probably not, but then again who is at fault? Him for signing the contract, or us for offering it? No point kicking him while he's down. He's gone, we're moving on. Good enough. Dooley gave it his all. Unfortunately for us and him, his all is nowhere near good enough.

Hallelujah! Thank the Lord. Dooley is a nice guy and I do appreciate that he removed the thugs that had begun to plague our program. He's just not ready to be a HC, especially given the talent level in the SEC. I sincerely wish him well. Now, let's find a guy with character AND can win a damn game!

Tuberville is a good coach. But is he a big enough splash to make recruiting tick upwards and get top - flight output from the current players? I have my doubts. I personally would love us to get Chucky, but it feels like a pipe dream. He hasn't made public statements about coming to UT in...

I don't envy Hart's job right now. There are some valid points to giving Dooley a chance. He did inherit a stinker of a situation and I do not doubt his resolve, or his dedication to the program. I like the guy, I just want more wins. Can he do it? I don't know. Last year I would have said...

I do like his strong UT connection, but the dude hasn't exactly lit the world on fire since he left. My issue, and hopefully the issue the powers that be are discussing, is that there just isn't a top-tier guy on the market right now. Typically we see a coaching carousel every year after the...

Not Saban specifically... Trying to make a point about what superior coaching can do with elite talent.

Yeah, exactly. I can't see him leaving there for anywhere short of an NFL gig. He is well paid and widely loved, and those two things tend to keep a coach put. I would like us to keep Doolittle until an OH-MY-GOD-HE'S-AVAILABLE guy hits the board. No point in getting another mediocre coach...
