And some of you guys think we'll finish 8-4

When Malzahn took over:

* He had been on the AU staff for 3 years

* Malzahn had been recruiting very well specifically for his system. Auburn's 2010, 2011 and 2012 classes were #6, #5 and #11 in the nation.

* Malzahn took over and hemmed up the 2013 class and finished #13.

Again... 2010, 2011 and 2012 would have been recruited for Malzahns system.

For 2010 Tennessee was #9, 2011 #14 and 2012 #20. That is just the ranking... this doesn't count the guys who didn't qualify or were kicked out or left due to attrition under the Dooley regime. This also isn't considering that in that entire span of 3 years there were a total of 7 Linebackers. And 1 of those was Maggitt who hasn't been healthy for a single game.

Did you wonder why we had to convert 2 safeties to play OLB last year? We had no depth and certainly couldn't spare it from S. LB was horrible. Absolutely horrible.

You're insane if you think Auburn and Tennessee are even remotely comparable.

Auburn has a proven winning def coord also.
