To be fair, Pollack was a strong proponent of the permanent cross-division rivalries. I thought he did a good job of shouting down the other talking heads who were trying to leave the indication there is such a thing as equal and fair rotating SEC schedules. As the voice of reason, the Sabanator, so eloquently stated, that would only happen if each team played the exact same schedule each year. Obviously not gonna happen.
Said he liked and looked forward to the LSU-Florida and Georgia-Auburn rivalry. I would assume that would include the Bama-Tenn get together as well? Pollack is therefore my pick for national media dude of the year.
Enjoy being #1 while it last because it won't last. 5 SEC schools have a better average that UT, meaning, they have less commits, less points totally, but have higher ranked players committed. When they fill their class my bet is UT will be 5-6 in the SEC in recruiting, maybe a top 10 class but well down in the SEC.
That's the dumbest thing I have heard. A bad year from either head coach and they could very easily be shown the door...
Anyone care to agree?
yes, those NC rings back up your claim.I'll disagree. Richt is the best thing to happen to UGA since Dooley in '80. He can recruit; he can motivate; he can develop talent; and he can coach. While some compare him to Fulmer towards the end of his prime, there is no comparison. Richt is a class act, and a good coach. Although he invariably earns mention on the "hot seat" conversations, and while Richt lacks the crystal football that Fulmer has...Richt wins consistently (if he also occasionally fails to live up to lofty expectations). And that, in a nutshell, was Fulmers' undoing.
The fact that UGA fans expect to compete for the SEC and national titles every year is a testament to what Richt has done at Georgia.
As for Spurrier, he could go 4-7; take a dump on the Governor's desk; and still have a job next year. This is USCe we're talking about here. There is "BS" (Before Spurrier), which is a mix of tragedy and comedy, and "DS" (During Spurrier), where the Cocks have actually stood up (pun intended) and made some noise in the SEC.
Neither one of them is in any danger at all of being ushered out the door. Regardless of what happens this year.
Go Vols.
