At Wisconsin? I mean, it's a good school, but it's not Michigan, Ohio State, or even Nebraska.

Historically no. Right now they are as good as anybody in that league, and have been for a few years. Part of that is due to him.

He'd have a harder time beating the SEC at UT than the Big10 where he is.

Maybe so, but that offense is bulit on the run. Meyer's offense is run first. Similar run/pass ratio to a pro style, just from different formations. Houston's offense is completely different. The air raid offense passes the ball the majority of the time. I have yet to see a team who can't run the ball win in the SEC. Here are some Houston stats from this year compared Meyer's last year at Florida

Houston
546 pass attempts (59%)
373 rush attempts (41%)

10' Florida
381 pass attempts (43%)
504 rush attempts (57%)

Again, Houston has run for 165 ypg this year.

Also, Sumlin was the OC for Oklahoma in 2006 and Peterson (before he got hurt) was on pace for a 2,000 yard season.

I think Sumlin can adjust. Meyer actually threw the ball more with Alex Smith at Utah.

Good stats though :good!:

If the OP is correct, I will vomit. Dooley deserves more time. He is bringing in good talent. He inherited a very bad football team with no depth. Not to mention that he lost his best offensive weapon, Hunter, early in the season and his starting QB for over a month. Some of you are tired of hearing Dooley comment about youth and inexperience. Well, let me clue you in on something, it is a legitimate excuse...it is a fact! What the hell do you people expect him to do in two years? Sure, they lost to UK, which is pretty bad, but I don't see the sky falling. I am anticipating a vast improvement next year. Hart better step up and get Dooley's back or our hopes for a strong close in recruiting could suffer. I can't believe how quickly "fans" have jumped ship. It is outright embarrassing.

We are not getting Bret Bielema.

Do I need to say period?

Tennessee is better but it's not happening. If he leaves, it's for an elite school or the NFL.

Against Carson Newman caliber defenses. That system is simply not a power running system. Meyer's was. That's the difference.

It is. And it's a viable question if he can adjust his offense to run the ball, because he'll have to.

I wouldn't mind hiring Sinking as OC but not as the head coach. Pairing him with Wilcox is also unusual. Most coaches want to pick their staff. That is part of the reason several coaches turned down UT when Dooley took the job.

You're selling UT short, or overrating Wisconsin. For a 1.5M raise, I think you can get him.

Wisconsin raised him to 2.5 million, and i'd guess he'll get another bump if he wins the rose bowl. Midwest guy, I don't think there's any way he'd come here, irregardless of the money.

I saw 1.8M in 2010. May I ask where you found that? (not doubting you, just wondering).

I talked to someone who talked to someone who knows someone that knows someone and word is that Randy Sanders may be return as OC...just sayin..

That's a fair question. I am not sure what to think right now but I am finding myself leaning toward the let him coach in 2012 camp.

If we can't get somebody markedly better, I feel the same way. I just happen to think that Sumlin is better and that we could get him.

I'm not convinced UT is a better position. Bielema can sit at Wisconsin and collect 20 3-star and a handful of 4-star recruits and go to a Rose Bowl every other year. If he can split with OSU & PSU they've got a shot to go to their title game every year. His job is infinitely easier at Wisconsin.
