Tennessee - fans throwing mustard bottles, last coaching search had fans overrule hiring Schiano
Auburn - AD hired some guy who actively undermined the previous HC, have to compete with Bama
South Carolina - fans expect the Spurrier years, have to compete with Georgia, Florida and Clemson
I’d avoid those 3 like the plague if I had future aspirations
The SEC is only a good landing spot if you go to a true SEC school willing to back you, and you really trust yourself and your ability. Schools like Tennessee have unrealistic expectations and Fulmer still looms large over the program. Auburn will always be fast cash U. Meanwhile you got programs like LSU, Bama, UGa, soon to be OU and UT that are willing empty there bank to be successful.
If you go to UK, South Carolina, Miss St. Missouri you got no chance to win.
Wow, I’d totally forgotten about Tennessee’s FB HC search. Now THAT was a shitshow. Our search hasn’t gone perfectly, but we’re not even in the parking lot of the ballpark of how bad that was.
Other than the Dex smokescreen (if that’s even the right word) I don’t see this as anything close to a s**t show…actually, assuming Elliott is the guy, I think it went pretty smoothly considering when Bronco announced he was leaving.
For what it’s worth, was told TE wanted to go back to Clemson to close out the loop with players etc. explaining his trip back to SC last night. I could see that making sense, judging by what I’ve read about his character, and if true, it says a lot about him as a person and I appreciate it.
