I'm optimistic for no...I'm thinking so far so good. I'm optimistic for now. One thing for sure is that Dave Clawson left as Richmond's head coach and not only did they improve but they won the National Title. No coincidence that Tennessee got worse with him calling the plays. I think while David Cutcliff was at UT Phil Fulmer had gotten very comfortable with his coordinators doing their jobs and maybe thought that he had just signed a big contract and would be able to work everything out next year. I hope Lane Kiffen understands that right now is the only thing that matters and that he is not coaching at Penn St. but UT. Speaking of Penn St. I'm glad to see that Joe was just given a three year extension. Joe Paterno and Phil Fulmer are more alike than most people realize. Without trying to compare which conference may be more competitive to coach in just take a look at their careers. Statistically on average each of them have had about the same amount of success. <BR/> Divide Joe Paterno's years of coaching by Phil Fulmer's and you will arrive at 2.6.<BR/>Take all of Fulmers wins including conference wins, conference titles, National Titles, Bowl games, losses, etc. multiply them times 2.6 and you will end up with Joe Paterno's numbers. Every single one except for undefeated seasons where Phil had only one and Joe has had four. Does this show the loyalty of Penn. St. vs. UT or does this point a finger directly at the expectations of SEC fans vs. Big-10 fans?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3990350030752441425.post-14094276378086954602008-12-06T02:18:00.000-06:002008-12-06T02:18:00.000-06:00Please Nick Saban win that title THIS YEAR.

Monte is a great pro DC but can he related to the college player? Coach O would be an asset though. They need someone with connections in the South.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
