The person that wrote this needs to be fired.

Remind me what type of defense Carl Torbush built at Texas A&M. The man refused to recruit talent to our school. I wouldn’t hire this idiot to manage an ant farm. He would figure out a way to screw that up.

Carl Torbush destroyed a great defense that had been great for close to twenty years. Get used to allowing lots of points and yards. Be prepared to curse repeatedly at the defensive coordinator. Be prepared for a coach who will make no adjustments on gameday. That is Carl Torbush. If that’s the type of experience that you want then get ready for a bumpy ride.

[...] Tony Barnhart has an a piece on five assistants in the SEC that will make a difference this year- Gus Malzahn-Auburn, Scot Loeffler- QB coach Florida, Carl Torbush- DC Mississippi State, John Chavis DC LSU, Monte Kiffin DC Tennessee. A good read.My pick is John Chavis at LSU. I think the Tigers are going to be scary good this year. Is it just me or was Scot Loeffler brought in for more of an influence on Florida QB John Brantley who is already more of a dropback passer. Like the Gators really need any help at all! [...]

I hear UT’s is really all out in recruiting for 2010 I heard they got a he haw commitment from the mule that kicked 100 yard FG’s in a Disney movie made years go.(as long as Ed promises to keep his shirt on). Hope it work’s out for you Vol fan’s but that is pretty close to the goal line and you all do have a tendency to fumble in that location.

In reference to the comment made by BamaGator you should also note that Coach Saban, or Coach Carroll sent in his FG unit to attempt a 74 yard try as Kippen did with the Raiders.
Also note Miami wanted Saban to stay, I don’t believe you can say the same for Kippen.
Now the excuse about Al Davis, true it makes the job harder, but hey, Gruden had them in the Super Bowl and that hasn’t been that long ago. I believe the 74 yard FG attempt put ole’ Al over the edge.

Surely you jest! No mention of the offensive coordinator, the coach in waiting, assistant head coach at the University of Kentucky? JOKER PHILLIPS! Just because his offense finished something like 116 of 119 in division one is no reason to disregard his statue. At Kentucky we award positions by eny-miny-minny-moe instead of by achievement.

Malzahn is the real deal and will be successful at Auburn before moving on to head coach a major U.

Tony:
“Kiffin’s resume will certainly help when it comes time for Tennessee to recruit defensive players.”

Didn’t do much good last February. Bama, Georgia, Florida and LSU still dominated UT in recruiting top-tier defensive talent which will lead to multiple appearances in the SEC Championship game for each. In fact, UF, UGA and LSU have been hauling in Top 10 classes for years now. Bama has begun the same when Saban arrived. Still don’t see UT derailing anything these four top coaches are doing, and now UT has to contend with Spurrier and Butch Davis which blocks them out of the Southeast altogether. That spells mediocrity.

Kiffin managed to get a top 10 recruiting class in only 5 months on the job so we will see how good he does with an entire year to recruit.Can’t get talent? Mangaed to get Brown from Miami, Teague and Richardson From Florida,Jackson from LSU,Grabbed Myles out of Atlanta along with another steal it seems in Williams, Oliver Switched from Notre Dame, Don’t you worry your pretty little self about Tenn’s recruiting, We will be just fine sweetheart.

Georgia may well struggle a little for next couple of years, at least by their standards. Murray will take a couple of years to really hit stride, I think Joe Cox is “serviceable” but far from “spectacular”.
