re: An outsiders view of the sec coaching hires

You realize that CBB is already working to flip Tenpenny, right? He doesn't seem to have any problem at all in SEC style recruiting. It is obvious that some of you are either too shocked at Arkansas's hire to admit exactly how good it is (how many other coaches got hired that have led teams to multiple BCS bowls?) or just know nothing about football.

Right out of the gate it's:

1. Arkansas (and if you don't agree with that it's a good indication of the weight that should be given to anything you post).
2. Tennessee
3. Auburn
4. Kentucky (Though really about as good as they could do).

Tennessee and Auburn are almost a toss-up. Neither has hired a proven commodity. I'm giving Tennessee the two spot because Jones has more experience. Malzahn possibly has more potential. It will be interesting if he can make it work there.

Arkansas is the real winner here. Not just because they made the best hire, but if Malzahn turns out to be great and CBB is a bust at Arkansas (I doubt that seriously though) we can just go get Gus. He'll come.
