How the Vols have fallen of late. They were the first BCS winner in 1998 and were a powerhouse for decades. But even Vandy has played them tough for the past few years.

A bad coaching hire can set a program back years, just ask Florida.

I said after they hired Kiffin that if SoCal called he’d bolt in a heartbeat. He did. Kiffin’s record was an improvement over Fuller’s last year.

Then they hired “Orange Pants” Dooley. And for some reason he even had to get the pants from in England.

Muschamp had the Texas job guaranteed but jumped when Florida called. I’m sure he wishes he’d have stayed at Texas. I don’t think he could have done any worse than Strong. But he sure didn’t help Florida. People say Meyer didn’t leave him anything. Apparently Muschamp couldn’t find anything on his own.

And two of 'em can haunt you for a decade. One year of Lane Kiffen who deserted us and three years of Derek Dooley. Butch Jones completes year two of a massive rebuild today. 6-6 against the schedule we had, playing 24 true freshmen, is a solid accomplishment.

We are on pace for a second straight top 5 recruiting class. We;ll be back.
