Difference is Bama was 100% committed to winning. We aren't.

I would have liked to have Strong, but him saying no doesn't mean we have to hire the next Dooley.

I mean from an administrative stand point. They were willing to let Saban do whatever he wanted. We aren't willing do give that pwoer to any HC.

I can remember the HELL that we went through trying to find coaches for years and years. Its simple, hire the right guy the first time. Try to get a guy with proven pedigree and a winning tradition. You cant keep hiring good ol boys that have an affiliation with a former coach or anything like that. I really believe in my heart of hearts Kirby Smart would put UT back on the SEC map. JMO I know hes not a proven HC but you cant deny his recruiting (which is the name of the game) and his player development.

Yep and Nebraska (currently), Notre Dame (pre-Kelly) and Oklahoma (pre Stoops). We are lost in the desert and cannot find that permanent coach.
