Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2008 12:37 pmToo bad. He has had some average recruiting classes in the past few years and now they want him out primarily because his talent levels = success are slightly below SEC levels. Every thing runs in cycles and despite his dedication and success they are quick to dump him in a down cycle. "What have you done for me lately."
Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2008 12:48 pmDr. Joseph Dolan: You know, it's a shame about Ed.
Fletch: Oh, it was. Yeah, it was really a shame. To go so suddenly like that.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: Ahh, he was dying for years.
Fletch: Sure, but... the end was really... very sudden.
Dr. Joseph Dolan: He was in intensive care for eight weeks!
Fletch: Yeah, but I mean the very end, when he actually died. That was extremely sudden.

Tennessee may need someone to rejuvenate the excitement about their program in the SEC...maybe a guy named Leach?

Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2008 1:02 pmThe expectations within the SEC are getting ridiculous.....everyone expects to win and win now. It just doesn't work that way.
Arkansas forced out Houston Nutt after some great seasons there, meanwhile I think they will find it difficult to get back to that level of winning.
Auburn is unhappy even though they have had some great seasons in the past.
There are sometimes peaks and valleys with respect to the recruiting and I imagine some of that stems from winning. If I am recruit, why do I want to go to Florida or LSU where they are 2 and 3 deep when I can go somewhere else and play 3 of the 4 years there.
Fulmer had a good class lined up too....#6 in the country.

Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2008 1:49 pmYea Tuberville most likely is gone so there's another major opening.
Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2008 1:58 pmI don't think Patterson would be the choice at Tennessee, nor would he likely want the job. He would be criticized from day one. They want a "name" coach. Leach would certainly fit the bill as would the OSU coach. Whether either one of them would leave is a whole nother question.
Posted: Mon Nov 03, 2008 2:06 pmthey may take tulsa or tcu's coach
which would indirectly help smu

I'm not sure that Mike Gundy is old enough. Anyone know how old he is?

I am sure they broke the mold that made him. That is a unique shape.
