With Saban gone Kirby now owns this conference

[Matt2496]

My fantastical fantasy is that Heupel fills in the power vacuum left by Saban, creates a long-lived dynasty, and revives a new golden era of Tennessee football.

Until proven otherwise, you are probably right. He's 86-11 since 2017, 85-6 against anyone not coached by Saban. And he's younger than Saban was when he started at LSU. Though much uglier.

Fulmer was 94-20 through the 2001 season when Spurrier retired. Look what happened to him afterwards.

A lot will depend on the capability of coaches who enter the conference after Saban leaves, or just how good some of the recent coaching hires end up being. Phil looked primed to be in control of the SEC after Spurrier left, but Saban and Richt turned out to be great coaches, who entered the league the year before Spurrier left and the same year Spurrier left respectively. And of course the next coach that UF hired (Urban) ended up being a great coach.

The vacuum gets filled by somebody, but it isn't always who you might think.

Fulmer proved to have drastically different levels of success with Cutcliffe and without him. Smart has finished in the Top 7 for 7 straight seasons with myriad different coordinators.

Rodney Garner leaving for UGA in ‘98 didn’t help matters either.

Garner has always been a great recruiter, everywhere he has been, not to mention an excellent on the field coach.

He'll always be known as the loser, that'll be his legacy now

I saw that on a Bammer board the other day.

I saw it in an SEC page. I've been sharing with my Georgia friends

Except they still have Ryan Day coaching.

Alot of them are so easy to tweak.

Kirby will continue to dominate as long as he can avoid scandal. The discovery in the lawsuits are going to brutal for the program’s reputation, but it may not matter since it’s UGA.

Day needs to beat someone worth a damn before we worry about him. No coach has done less with more than him.
