He has no recruiting class for Tennessee so obviously we don't know. Is not knowing because he has yet to recruit to the Hill dumber than stating he is surely due to fail because of his past efforts at Cincinnati?
His players are. The point isn't about the coaching. It's about the apparent recruiting. He might coach exceptionally well. He apparently doesn't recruit similarly.
His recruiting classes were higher ranked than Kelly's, yes Kelly did have a 12-0 BCS season but his other two yrs was exactly like CBJ last two yrs.......if your go back to CMU, CBJ had the beTter single season record between he and Brian Kelly at 11-2. You can choose whatever stat you wish to try and prove a point but the man can coach and I feel he will get it done here. This is not a Dooley hire.
I agree whole heartedly with bigpoppavol. You guys keep saying that he isnt bringing his players with him, but aren't the players he recruited, playing this game vs 6-6 duke? The same duke that hasn't been to a bowl game in 18 years...
Regardless of what anyone wants to talk about or the excuses or reasons made from both sides of pro butch or not on the butch bandwagon, the one plain, simple fact is that he was plan "E," like it or not. To me and most others, it's quite bothersome.
Didn't say that. Said it was an awful default hire. He might work out and I hope he does. Doesn't change that Hart should be fired for cause.
