I think Green would be a good hire. I was reading some threads from then Navy "nation" and they would not be happy to see him go. Good with the players and seasoned defensive coordinator. He had some good Navy defensives, along w a few bad ones too. So, overall not a big name DC, but has had success.

conflicting hire for me. On one hand, I know the man will have a lot of people here eating crow, On the other, Navy will be looking for a new DC so who do you think they can get?

The man entered the Naval Academy at a time when they were going nowhere as a football program. He hasn't been allowed to recruit the kind of players most other programs recruit on this level, and the strict physical regimen Annapolis requires of Midshipman isn't necessarily what a football program needs to develop big physical linemen. Yet he has played a major part in a successful rebuilding situation where the degree of difficulty is as extreme as it gets.

He's done what his head coaches needed him to do: produce defenses putting them in a position to win. I've said it before, but you simply cannot have a dominant defense at a service academy. You can't bring in the talented beef up front needed to do the job.

This guy has experience confronting adversity on a yearly basis. He hasn't had the table set for him by some amazing defensive-minded head coach at a school with the ability to recruit almost anyone they wish. This rebuilding job will seem like a cakewalk to him with considerable advantages in talent and depth available to him compared to what he has seen at Navy.

He also has considerable recruiting ties to the Carolinas, a part of the country we need to get back in on in a major way as we were when Dan Brooks was on our sidelines.

I agree completely with this post. Green would not make a splash, but he would be a very good coach I believe.

If he is hired, he should immediately throw out his radio, never pick up a paper, only eat at the country club or Ye Olde Steak House never McDonald's or Krystal & drive to work under cover of darkness.

He would not be afraid of those things.:)

In all seriousness, if we hire Green, even I will admit we have fallen off the wagon. Just remember all those fans who wanted Fulmer gone. You all said he wasn't good any more. The program was slipping. If we could get rid of him, we could get back in the National Championship picture. I will take the SEC Championship game every three years and competing against everyone into the 4th quarter. Hope your enjoying what you have created . . . oh, and don't try to blame it on Hamilton, Kiffin, etc.

Player Bio: Buddy Green - NAVYSPORTS.com - The United States Naval Academy If Fulmer is such a great coach- why doesnt he have a new job. There has been almost zero interest in hiring him.

I agree with a lot of what you said but I worry that the fact that Green did not put many (any?) players into NFL will be a huge disadvantage in recruiting (so for this reason I don't know how much more depth and talent he will get at UT compared to what he had in the Navy).
