Fulmer was an OC also. I think nowadays more than ever it is evident that having experience at, to use a basketball term "mid-major", is increasingly important before making the jump to a head coaching position in major conference. Especially the SEC.

I think that it is different when you stay in the same program.

I'm sure there are a lot of DCs that work out, but the only two I can think of recently are Saban and Tommy Tuberville.

Wasn't Kyle Whittingham Urban Meyer's defensive coordinator before taking over head coaching duties at Utah?

Unless there's another Saban or Meyer out there it's a crapshoot no mater who you hire. It doesn't matter if you go coordinator or mid major HC.

Whom is "they"? The term tenure is usually associated with a period of time. Given that there's more to a coach's job than just game day, I don't know why the number of games coached would be the measurement.

More games means tenure. Are you to dense to understand?

The real question is when a DC becomes a head coach in the SEC.
Kirby won't have a good offense for awhile.
When's the last time a DC gone Coach has stayed past 5 years in SEC?

Haha, yeah. Shocking, really. I mean, we were all guessing that Spurrier might hang it up this year (who knew in the middle???), and some thought it was possible Richt would move on ... but I don't think there was a single person out there who would say, at the start of the season, that it would end with CMS of Kentucky and CBJ of Tennessee as the "deans" of the East.

That's just crazy turnover.

Hard to say. I'd say he's got a 50-50 chance. I'd say being a BFL his heart will be there. He will try to lock down the State that's for sure.

I heard Cut will be his OC. That might change that. Just kidding but it will depend on his ability to get the right OC.:loco:

Presently there are 3 coaches in the SEC who went straight from a Coordinator position to being a head coach for an SEC school. Mullen, Stoops, and Mason. Granted, these are 3 of the toughest schools to have success at in the conference. It also shows how difficult it is to make the transition from being a Coordinator at any school to being a head coach in a major conference. The chances of Georgia doing better overall with Smart instead of Richt is very unlikely. Along with the Gamecocks, who appear as though they are headed the Coordinator route.

Wasn't Stoops the HC at Arizona before going to Kentucky?

Kirby is gonna switch to a 3-4, and we all know what that means when you don't have the right players to run it. Lol:dance2::dance2::dance2:

Most coordinators that find succuess are on the offensive side of the ball.

Stoops adn STrong were both DC's.

and going on to NFL ranks John Fox, tom Coughlin also both DC's that have had good success as HC's.

i don't think it matters one way or the other. depends on a lot of things as to which one might or might not work out. charlie strong wouldn't probably work at Baylor or Oregon. and Kliff kingsbury probably wouldn't work at Wisconsin or Iowa.
