It's actually a great situation for a coach who would like to stay a while. Kiffin's shoes are tiny ones to fill.
To answer your question... probably.
If this class falls apart then UT could be in trouble for several years... and it might last until Tn HS football actually catches up to the rest of the south.
You know I really blame this on Fulmer for getting so lazy and uncreative. If he had continued doing his job instead of resting on his laurels. This wouldn't have happened.
Guys, let's remember we had a terrible recruiting class a few years back--something like 35th or 38th? Terrible. Yet, we survived.
This year our class may be bad--probably WILL be bad--but we will survive.
The new coaching staff will hit the recruiting trail hard for next year and bring us a top class. The same with the next year, and the year after that.
We will survive this next season, and work on building ourselves back up. We'll be "back" in 3 years.
I understand what you are saying... but Fulmer got his punishment for that. He didn't do it intentionally... he just didn't have it any more.
Let Kiffin bear his own burden of blame. Fulmer didn't make Kiffin disloyal to a program and fanbase that treated him extremely well.
