Let me jump into my time machine to find out....be back in a.....


I'm back! It's UT. Kentucky is still irrelevant, Saban is at Cleveland, and Bill Belichick left New England to coach UT.

I think that Kentucky made as solid of a hire as they could get plus his likely staff will be made up of big time recruiters.

Arkansas shows they are willing to shell out the big bucks (25 mil for Miles) and if the rumors are true Chris Peterson is coming.

Auburn is questionable because they see how impatient their fans, BOT and administration is (fired 2 seasons after a national championship).

Tennessee is another big question mark because of probation and a fan base that is impatient as well.

Arky has proven they're willing to pay the most. I still see Tennessee as the most attractive job out of the 4. Our only drawbacks from a coaches perspectives is the lack of instate talent and the high fanbase expectations.

We really want know that for two or three years. If Arkansas gets Chris Petersen then they have hired a proven winner. If Auburn hires Smart they have a up and coming coach. Kentucky made a great hire considering their program. I don't know who we will hire will it be Gruden on December 17th or will it be one of Davis, Strong, Gundy, or Jones. I think if Arkansas gets Chris Petersen they have made the best hire on paper only time will tell who really made the best hire.

It's a tough call...the Stoops thing with Kentucky is kind of surprising. I'd be interested to see what kind of staff he puts together. The kind of athletes they get up there I was a little surprised Petrino wasn't given some serious consideration...Kentucky isn't like us...they need some kind of gimmick to compete in the SEC.

Arkansas and Auburn......we will probably get as good a coach as Kentucky hopefully
UT's past coaching hires have been a bust....any reason to expect a different outcome this go round?
