SEC's worst coach, according to Sporting News is [ddiapos]

16 behind Adazzio............

 

21 behind Larry Coker...........

 

23 behind Terry Bowden...............

 

32 behind Cutcliffe..............

 

38 behind Sonny Dykes, his replacement at La Tech.............

 

60 behind Rich Rod..................

(I say that only to add that 39 is really low for Rich Rod IMO)

 

70 behind Troy Calhoun................

*sighs*

 

74 behind James Franklin........

(Really, we're going to put him at 25 and Rich Rod at 39? Really? Really? Really?)

 

79 behind Kiffin....................

 

82 behind Leach.............

 

And 98 behind his mentor....................

*sighs*

 

Talk radio going nuts. Haven't even heard one reason given as to why Dooley should be higher - just that he should be higher. The one thing I did hear is that Franklin should be lower. He lost to Dooley, after all.

 

Where is this list?

 

College football coach rankings: Alabama's Nick Saban tops list of 124 coaches - NCAA Football - Sporting News

 

Still ranks ahead of Dave Clawson, the guy that was supposedly hired as our coach in waiting right after Fulmer got his mega contract for beating Kentucky in sixteen overtimes. Mike Hamilton is a genius.

 

In fairness, he did hire Kiffin and have his sites on Calhoun, #29 on the list.

And don't forget his main supporter in the hiring process.........

 

He also dismantled the track and baseball programs.

 

Formerly world class track team and contender of a baseball team... A real shame what happened to UT through the first decade of the 2000's.

 

Just about every men's sport at UT has hit a tough stretch since Hamilton has been around. He ran a proud athletic program into the ground. It is just a freaking shame that he was so incompetent in the hiring process.

 

Delmonico kind of forced Hamilton's hand. Mike screwed the pooch on the replacement
