Well when you go from 12-22 over 3 years you have no where to go but up. That is not the seam kind of coaching change - that was necessity (sp?). The Donnan/Richt exchange was a different animal - he was let go b/c he couldn't beat the perrenial contenders in the SEC - one win doesn't make him Master of UT - he was 1 for 5 against us and UF. Richt has raised the bar a bit and has only one loss to us - he hasn't figured out UF yet but I think his time will come. They have won 2 SEC titels since he took over so saying comparing him to donnan is a little off.
Watson and McMichael were there in '01 but that was their last season so they did play for Donnan for a majority of their collegiate career.
