Just remember DKRs 1st year was not good

Im not a Sark fan yet but we'll see what this year brings
As always I'll believe it when I see it and not a moment before.  I'm pulling for Texas so I'm certainly not rooting against Sark. It's entirely within his own power to change my mind and I'll be hoping he does.

This is such a healthy attitude about college football. An athletic department would absolutely hate to see it.

I'm still kind of on the fence about K. Smart.  He certainly recruits well.  I'm uncertain about some of his game decisions.  I suppose at some point you can become a "Supervisor" like Saban and have top notch assistants who make most of the calls.

You serious, Clark?

The guy who just won the national championship?

If you toss him, we'll take him...

Burny was in town the last couple of days. He would say the same thing. The only acceptable hire to him is someone who has a NC ring on his finger as a head coach.

Slim pickins there.

Saban isn't moving. Dabo is waiting on Saban to retire so he can go home. Kirby seems content.

Meyer is out there, with baggage. Orgeron is out there. Les Miles? Jimbo is at aTm. Gene Chizik?

I'm hardly in favor of firing K. Smart obviously.  Recruiting is clearly a key part of the job.  There are however some coaches who did more with less, I don't yet put Smart in that group.  I'm talking about the handful of ELITE coaches in the past.  SOS comes to mind.

While it seems obvious "anyone" can do well at UGA, it should be similarly obvious "anyone" can do well at Texas too, so there is that.

But loading up a roster with 15 first rounders is one thing, a great thing, and you can win an NC with it, but it doesn't mean you are a great elite game day coach.

If you don't have the horses you can't win the race and he knows enough to be dangerous. I wouldn't compare him to Richt or Cooper

Meyer shouldn't be allowed under a head set on a CFB sideline again. Was Burnt Eyes in FLA or Illinois not sure where you're at did you hook up with him?

Yeah, Richt wasn't a great coach, he was decent, he recruited pretty well also.  Too many of his teams underperformed their talent level, IMHO.

Spurrier didn't focus on recruiting, but he was a helluva game manager.

Very few do it all at the elite level, very few.  Saban's replacement will be interesting.

Kenosha. Yep, we hung out, went to a summer concert and broke bread a few times. Also went to the Civil War museum here in town. Never been. It was really nice, and somber at the same time.

This is why being a big-time HC isn't fun.  No matter what you do, it's not enough.

Others try to be him, but they can't.  See Mullen.  Great offensive mind, but not so good that he didn't need elite recruits.  
It's funny, I was looking back through the top 100 recruits of the 90s, and there's tons of FSU, Miami, USC, OU, Penn St, Michigan, UCLA, etc.....but most of Florida's top 100 types were TEs and linemen that didn't pan out (or even play).  Tennessee out-recruited him nearly every year, and he'd just beat them with ease.  I need to look up the 92 class that won 4 SEC championships and the NC in 96.  I doubt they were top 10.
