I hope Jermy gets it did, cause Leach, Meyer, Kiffin, Stoops nor any successful P5 head coach will be hired here if he doesn't. Everyone better be praying to whatever god they pray to that Jeremy Pruitt figures this out.
This one tears me to the core. I really do think Meyer is a slimeball but I also really believe he is currently the 3rd best coach in the nation. He is the type of coach to get us out of our doldrums. I joked on another thread I would make a deal with the devil to be good again but was only joking. It looks like with Meyer the devil has met me at the crossroads.
Kelly is about half the coach Urban is and USC has way more resources than UCLA, which despite being a big name/big market has not had a lot of historical football success. 3 titles at two different schools (including 2 in the SEC), not far removed from his last title at all.People said the same thing about Chip Kelly. Just saying.
With the exception of Johnny Majors and potential exception of Rick Barnes (him being a "high end" coach is debatable), Tennessee has never hired a football/basketball head coach that has already won at a high level at another prominent program. And in all likelihood, the only reason we were able to get Majors is because he was coming back home.UT doesnāt know how to invest in high end football coaches.
We figured it out in basketball but for some reason football has alluded us.
Meyer won't come back to the SEC until Saban's gone. Forgotten Timmy crying the SEC Champ game? I'm sure Meyer hasn't forgotten that beating either and will continue to flow to the place where it takes less effort to be on top.
