[quote]We don’t care about winning. We care about the Haslams having their way. [/quote] Truer words were never spoken....

[quote]The assumption that he won't be successful recruiting to at least as high a standard as Gus did at Auburn is exactly that...an assumption with no basis in fact whatsoever. Do you not think Will Friend/Derrick Mason/Carnell Williams/Mike Bobo know the ropes of recruiting the SEC?[/quote] ...

[quote]But I can't imagine any coach who wouldn't be a step back after Saban leaves. Can you? It may not be 6 in a row territory, but you will likely lose a step. [/quote] Of course. But the Three Mikes? :rotflmao:...

[quote]our boosters are idiots[/quote] I heard back in the eighties, when Florida was just starting to be good, that Bear Bryant had once said that he could take the players at Florida and win the SEC, but that he couldn't win at Florida. Maybe some of that logic holds true with Tennessee. ...

[quote]You never even reach out to Kiffin, Freeze or Chadwell. [/quote] No university chancellor with two brain cells to rub together and the NCAA breathing down their back would let Hugh Freeze set foot on campus....

[quote]and you are headed to the Mikes territory again.[/quote] This is an even more moronic assumption than the guy assuming that Harsin won't be able to recruit just because he's coming from Boise. You were actually making intelligent posts on the subject. Then you went full retard. :lol:...

[quote]quote: No, Einstein, he coached and recruited at Boise State No shit, Corky. Why do you think he will recruit the same players to Auburn as BSU? Listen to 41 and tap out of this one.[/quote] Last year he was one notch below USC. The year before he was ranked higher than Mike Leach. ...

[quote]quote: Nah...he has to put in time as ana analyst first. Basically gas up and wash the chargers and challengers for recruits. Make sure the blunts are rolled tightly.[/quote] We can get GAs to do that. Former head coaches only have one car to wash. ...

[quote]Auburn is better off. I think 2021 could be rough for them but he will ultimately be solid. I think Tennessee is doing this all over again in three years. [/quote] I tend to agree with this. Harsin has more potential...but I don't see him equaling Gus's success. Tennessee deserves ...

[quote]quote: Josh Heupel in 2 years position coach at Bama [/quote] Nah...he has to put in time as an analyst first....

[quote]you Auburn fans remember when Alabama fans said we hope you keep Gus a long time? That was b.s. because he beat Saban more than any other coach did.[/quote] You don't get it. We're saying that we can live with the occasional loss to Gus if we're winning 6 national championships in 12 y...

[quote]Napier may be great but I don't know any AU grad who wanted to hire from the Saban tree. [/quote] If you don't know any Auburn grad who would have given their left nut to get Sarkisian, then that doesn't say much about the worth of an Auburn degree. Or else you're full of shite. :lol:...

Literally no SEC fan base is worried about Tennessee with this hire. Bama fans would have been at least a tad concerned if they'd hired Malzahn, and don't let them tell you otherwise. But there is absolutely nothing about this hire that's concerning to the rest of the league....

[quote]I'm not disputing any of the facts of your statement. What I'm saying is that none of that justifies the pure vitriol that many Vol fans have toward Butch. When a guy leads you to your worst season in school history while spouting cliches about energy vampires and bricks, then goes to wo...

[quote]I think this should be graded on a curve. He took Kansas to bowls five out of eight seasons and rarely looked pathetic. Kansas has not won more than three games since they fired him in 2009. It almost can't be oversold how desperately pathetic the Kansas football program is.[/quote] Actual...

[quote]He's not well liked by his players. Certainly not a guy they're going to run through a brick wall for. Think Mark Mangino.... Do you know WTF i would do for Tennessee to have the Success Kansas did during the Mangino years?[/quote] :lol: You mean year...singular...right? Because...

Nice post. Would read again....

[quote]We're following the Bama model. [/quote] I'm sorry, you're gonna have to refresh my memory for me. At what point did we let a girl score on us? :dunno:...

[quote]The level of hatred that Vol fans have toward Butch is hard to figure out. Not really. Dude had championship caliber talent but was a drama queen. He benefited from great legacy kids but couldn’t recruit at a high level without them. He didn’t recruit Oline at all. You need 3-4 a year an...

[quote]Tennessee is home to.... [/quote] Jack Daniel's. He's gonna be their best friend the next three years. ...
