don't know how this affects your argument, but Lloyd Carr spent the first ten years of his life in TN. John Cooper is a Powell kid.

I think you could make the arguement for Fulmer over Brown. Before VY got there, Brown blew every big game he coached in and now that Vince isn't there he will continue to lose to Oklahoma and Bob Stoops.

He maybe talking about watson brown. I think he's better than mack. Better offensive mind anyway.

i google mapped the mileage just to check, but Pete Carroll grew up over 2,000 miles from Tennessee.

That Quarles (sp?) guy at Maryville must be pretty good.



Strike that ... I see the thread is about college football.

This is MODERN coaches, right?? I agree with your list of recents and would just add Cooper bringing up the rear.

But could have CPF survived North Carolina, Pitt, Duke etc.....those guys earned their reps....while Phil simply transitioned into his....not a knock but he did have the easiest path to sucess.
