Well, the east got better. The west is getting too heavy and losing balance. Ole Miss, Miss State and Arkansas I feel all got worse. LSU is a destined train wreck.

Georgia is really good.
Florida and Tennessee got better (we think)
South Carolina is better
Kentucky is better
Missouri might not be but have a great QB.
Vandy is decent for sure.

I think the east is much better and will pass the west soon.

Not sure 'more dominant' is the appropriate term here, considering the East hasn't won many crossover games the past decade. But I get your point, and the East should be more competitive in a short time.

Within 3 years the sec will be 6 team league...bama, auburn, ga, fl, tn and aTm...USCe and LSU will be in that 2nd tier.

Chad Morris at Arkansas isn’t a bad move. Dude can coach and runs a fun offense.

They're busting his balls because his program has bent Tennessee over for ten years. Too busy pretending like the Alabama program is on the decline, and when someone like him or myself argues otherwise, they can't handle it IMO.

Does IMO mean it's factual?

Don't get me wrong, I'm really confident in Pruitt, but by the time fall camp rolls around, over half of this board will be convinced that he's one of the top coaches in the country before coaching his first game. Adding to that, they'll also think Kirby isn't in the same stratosphere and isn't worthy of sniffing a Jeremy Pruitt fart.

Every Georgia coach is very capable of sniffing every Tennessee coach's fart.

Talking about of these new coaches maybe to need to look at a few things. Kirby has a lot to prove still. He came into a situation with a load of talent already on the roster and a state rich in talent that most want to play at UGA. No different then the situation Saban left Miles at LSU who won a NC year 2 years but once his recruits started hitting the field player development was not the same and coaching lacked and LSU became what it is now. Proving talent can win. So the question is can Kirby develop players and coach in the big games.

Regarding Pruitt I think he may be closer to getting the same results in a program that Saban does more then Kirby. His disadvantage is Saban came into UA and was able to roster manipulate until Ole Miss signed like 40 players mostly sign and place which resulted in the rule getting changed to 25. Saban to build the program at UA was able to gut the roster and fill it with his players early. Pruitt will not have that ability so it may take him 4 years to get UT in position to win the SEC and go farther.

You may not see 10+ wins the first two years but you will see a different game out there with players showing a passion to win that has not be seen in Neyland for a long time. Pruitt has that it factor with the players on and off the field.

Yeah that's what I'm saying hoss. If you read the post, I said that a good number of posters by the time fall camp rolls around will be of the opinion that Kirby isn't in Pruitt's league.

Some good poInts that I don't think some people realize. That stupid signing limit can make it longer to change a culture

Hey TW.

1. Sorry for being edgy the other night. I checked your past posts and you’re good people.

2. If Bama had a vacancy at HC and your only choices were Smart or Pruitt. Who’d you take?

I will not be one of them. So far so good but I want to see wins on the field.

Shaq posted a pretty scathing tweet recently about how UT held him back.

Not all surprising.
