Wouldn't it be nice for ND, any Big 10 team, any ACC team, any Big 12 team, or any PAC 10 team to get to play in the SEC for one season? I'd say that 95% of them would have more losses than they would have playing in their own conference.

The SEC is by far the superior conference. As some of you may recall, when Miami and Fla ST. both joined the ACC, it was said that the reason they didn't join the SEC was because they wanted to play for the Nat. Championship. And playing in the SEC would be a major obstacle to their goal.

This may have been true a few years ago.... but can you honestly say the SEC is a better overall conference than the Big 12 this year? OU,UT,TTU and OSU all have the talent to make it to the SEC Champ game. With UGA, LSU, and AU being VASTLY over-rated this year, I think the Big 12 takes the cake as best conference....hell, just the Big 12 South does it.

Jimmy Hyams ran through what he knew about the different candidates that Tennessee was interested in during the process.

Mike Gundy: Some feelers were sent out by the search firm and word was that Gundy was not interested.

This is a laugh - Why would they bother with Gundy? He knew he had no shot at the job and that's the reason he had no interest.

Butch Davis: Likes UNC and turned down Arkansas (his alma mater) last year to stay. He will likely be making near $3 million after this year. Davis believed it was easier to win the ACC from Carolina than it was to win the SEC from Tennessee.

Gary Patterson: He interviewed but it's unclear what transpired.

Mike Leach: Tennessee spoke with Leach but word was that Mike wanted to wait until after the Baylor game before having a formal interview. Tennessee wanted to get moving and didn't want to wait. The two parted ways.

Brian Kelly: Oddly, Kelly was trying to push the process and move along quickly - too quickly for Tennessee. Also, once the Notre Dame speculation started, Kelly was more interested in Notre Dame than Tennessee.

Will Muschamp: Got his raise at Texas.

Tim Brewster and Mark Dantonio: Tennessee wasn't interested in either of these two.

Mike Gundy: Some feelers were sent out by the search firm and word was that Gundy was not interested.

Gruden and Cowher: Both said no.

So, what you are actually saying is that we got a 2 million dollar substitute teacher.....I feel much better now

The golden dommers will be back just like USC and BAMA have came back in the last few years. ND has the money and only needs the RIGHT coach to make it happen.

Besides in these 85 scholarship days it would be hard to keep anyone down for long if they get the right coach and staff.
