70% of their commitments are from outside of FL.

Dooley would have went 9-3 in the Big East with SEC talent and resources. Butch Jones did it with Big East talent and resources. Butch Jones isn't a home run hire but in his 6 seasons as HC he has won 3 conference titles. If he had coached their bowl he could have gotten to 10 wins this year...

Would be a good hire. He can coach, winning two straight conference titles isn't an easy task in any conference. He is also defensive minded.

UT was willing to throw 5+ mil at Gruden, I think Shaw is less risky than Gruden. Shaw has shown he can recruit nationally (landed a top 5 class at Stanford last year, if he can recruit to Stanford he can for sure recruit to UT) and coach at the college level.

Shaw is only making 1.5 mil at Stanford, offer him a 3 million dollar raise (4.5 mil). I'm sure a raise that big would make most people think about it, even if the coach was coaching at his alma mater. Have to at least make coaches like Shaw, Patterson, and Petersen say no before you move on...

Agree with all of these except Fulmer.

I would be extremely happy with Shaw but I don't see him leaving his alma mater (Stanford).

Fisher - 6

Stoops - 6

Your right, I didn't realize Shaw went to Stanford.

Patterson and Strong would be good hires but no one seems to mention David Shaw. I think Shaw could really do well here. He recruited the number 5 ranked class in the country to Stanford last year, this year they only have 7 recruits but 4 of them are 4 star or higher. By looking at there...

would be a great hire

A lot of people seem to short change UT's ability to recruit. A dynamic recruiter could bring top 10 classes consistently to UT. Schools like Clemson should not be out recruiting UT, but their HC is a great recruiter. The way I see it is that even though we have a coach that has never proven...

Yes he had experience trying to rebuild a program but nothing he did at LT should have made UT confident that he was going to turn UT around. 3 years (3 recruiting classes) is plenty of time to turn a program around, so this is Dooley's make it or break it year. I may be under...
