Put this in the FF but thought maybe a few here might want to see the breakdown


It appears we are dead set on hiring a defensive coach and I have done some research on why I believe we are.

A vast majority of power coaches have offensive backgrounds. About 2:1

Nearly all "sexy" hires made are offensive coaches.


Now let's look at the breakdown for each of the 5 conferences:

PAC12: 3 defensive head coaches
ACC: 1 defensive head coach
Big10: 6 defensive head coaches
Big12: 1 defensive head coach

So that is Right at 75% of the coaches in those 4 leagues.

But now let's look at the SEC. Good or bad Saban is shaping the future of this league. He's making the coaching turnover have an alarming rate.

Right now the SEC has 7 out 12 head coaches that are defensive minded.

The last 2 Sexy hires were just fired in BB and KS and they were very popular offensive guys when hired.

Jones and JM are two more failed offensive coaches.

Smart has proven to be a HR now but wasn't at the time of his hire.

None is the rest of these were sexy hires.

Stoops has done very well.


Odom did a great job this year.

Muschamp had a great year.

Coach O even had a decent year.

Mason is really the only recent defensive hire to not have success and one could argue he has done just fine.


So to finalize the point. While the rest of the nation keeps hiring offensive guys the SEC is showing that hiring a defensive guy is the way to go and with 2 teams in rhe playoff it's hard to argue with that.

You are basing alllll of this on a Kevin Steele hire that has not happened.

You are right. I think that’s what everyone is upset about. Hopefully it’s all overreaction for nothing, but it isn’t looking good right now. Can’t say “trust Hubbs” then crawfish and say this is different because it looks the same to me.

If we don’t hire Steele then I don’t see what is wrong with the search.

Instead we could have had this:

Once again my anger at Fulmer and the board for not being willing to approve Leak is rising.

So when we hire Steele tomorrow. Which new team will you guys root for or just not gonna watch anymore?

I love football way too much to not watch. I will always be a UT fan, but I will not follow it as closely. I will probably start cheering for a competent program outside of the SEC. If you UT doesn't care about making this a winning program, why should we?

Ok, man. I love Leach, but we get your point.

It has been noted.
