If this hire is true, I think Mitch did good on this one. He COULD NOT take Petrino, he is toxic.

Keep in mind, MacIntyre team beat the living shite out of BYU this year.

Great job by Barnhardt if true. The next one to fall will be UT


Tennessee won't be doing anything until late next week at the earliest. I'd say someone else will make a hire in the next 10 days..

I was talking inside conference. I think ut will make hire, then Arky, AU, and there will be a surprise need I think. I believe UT has their guy already. They're just being sneaky and waiting.

Would UK be satisfied with Curry or Claiborne type of success?


Curry had no success here, one bowl in seven seasons. Claiborne took over a dumpster fire, and had a couple of respectable seasons including our last nine win season. He had some modest success.

I think UK needs to find a way to get back to the 2007/2008 levels to be considered successful, win seven or eight games, including at least a 3 or 4 win SEC schedule. That really should not be asking too much.

MacIntyre also recruited Patrick Willis to Ole Miss and at a few different stops had some highly ranked defenses (including Duke and Ole Miss).

The more I learn about the guy the more I like him.

I dropped his name for Cal job when it opened, but thought he was going to SEC. I really like the hire. He will make them very competitive. That's where UK needs to be, just hop Cal doesn't pull a Roy Williams. I don't think Cal is as dumb as Roy though.

They beat BYU 20-14....Hardly beating the shite out of them. Also lets just look at the schedule:

They lost to Utah State by 22 and Stanford by 3.

They beat:UC Davis(4-7), Colorado State(4-8), San Diego State(9-3), Navy(7-4), UTSA(8-4)at least 4 of those are FCS teams, Texas St(3-8), Idaho(1-11), New Mexico State(1-10), BYU(7-5) and La Tech(9-3).

I just think people are drinking the Kool-Aid here. I'm not saying he can't win here, but this is far from a slam dunk.

We shall see. I sure hope so.

ETA:Another concern. UK is ranked last in the SEC in recruiting for 13 with 855 points. SJSU is 3rd in WAC with less than 300 points.
