Great players make coaches sometimes look better, is Saban a better coach today compared to when Bama went 6-6 in his 1st year? NO, he just has better talent. There's a reason a guy like Phil Jackson doesn't rush off to coach the Bucks. So by your philosophy a "VFL" means more when it comes to coaching?? Is Tee Martin still a VFL since he spurned us for USC? What about Sanders staying inside the SEC and going to KY to coach against "one of his own"?
It worked out pretty dang well when Phil brought back Cutt to work miracles with Ainge and cover up some of his own shortcomings. After Cutt left the second time it's been a series of bad hires, starting with Clawson.
Coordinator/ qb coach of a national championship team. Is it possible that he will establish himself enough to eventually become our head coach? I know there are a lot of necks that don't understand football and don't like him, but if Fsu wins another title soon with his leadership, he is positioning himself nicely. I like butch a lot, but if he become very successful, michigan may come calling. Just things to think about. Go randy! Go vols!:hi:

What about 2001? In 2002, clausen broke his collar bone. But in 2003 and 2004 we won 10 games (wow, tough times, huh?) in 2005, we had a qb controversy but Ainge had not fully recovered from injuries the previous year. There's more to it than meets the eye when everyone wants to Fahr the coach.:good!:

Oh ok, in name only? If that makes you feel better. Randy sanders can't possibly be the offensive coordinator of a national championship team! Especially after he was brutalized by our all knowing fan base, you know, the ones that wanted Phil gone?

There is a very good chance that Fulmer would still be UT's coach and having success if he had not let blind personal loyalty to an incompetent OC get in the way. If he had done what he should have done around 2002... offered Sanders a demotion or termination option... Fulmer might have had his best years in the 00's instead of a disgraceful exit.
