After thinking about it for a few days.....

Nebraska is dead.

 

I do feel some mild form of optimism. It's an offensive game right now and we've seemingly got one of the better offensive coaches in the game.

 

By the law of averages, surely we are due for a hire that doesn't lead us to a new low after 3 in a row that did.

 

Gambler's Fallacy!

 

You're a fallacy!

 

Maybe, but UT has been in a coma and is on life support...

 

Vols are a sleeping giant that are badly atrophying in the bed.

 

Nothing that Nebraska was built on exists any more.

 

Maybe we can be like Steven Seagal, wake up from a long coma and still be able to kick ass

 

Acupuncture is the key.

 

I think the only thing that's keeping Tennessee from becoming Nebraska is that we play in the SEC.

 

The amount of talent within a three-hour drive of campus is not even in the same galaxy

 

Even if you just look at in state talent. There are 4 great states for talent: Texas, Florida, Georgia, and California. Tennessee is not at this huge competitive disadvantage. Minor but not huge.

I would have thought the state of South Carolina would be higher up the list.

 

It's just one year. I'm sure there is year to year variance. It's just that if you aren't one of the big 4 states, the differences are not that great.

 

Indy's about to calibrate your whole understanding of astronomy.

 

Crennel had a 10-6 season in Cleveland in 2007. Was fired the next year after going 4-12.

It took Cleveland Browns 7 tries (not including interims) to get another coach to get them above .500.

Haslam's first 3 hires did progressively worse than their predecessor. Which is actually really impressive, since he took over a 5-11 team.

 

Ya, but that is because the Halsam ownership was... uh oh.

 

Just happened to be the one example that popped into my head first for some reason.
