To go along with that, the same deluded impotent Doolaide slurpers were singing praises of how Sunny Side Down (a la a Saban clipboard holder and career position coach) was going to come and save the day with a 3-4 defense. People can call the 3-4 hard or you need the "right" personnel all they want (to some degree, there is some truth to this), but at the end of the day, when you have Saban clipboard holders running the show...thats the product you get. The 3-4 is not that hard to run with a huge NG (which we have and it is built solely off busting the 'A' gap and allowing the LBs to ball hawk...anyone that says otherwise is a fool....the 3-4 is built to stop the run but in having full faith in DBs that can man up without much assistance underneath....However, Ill wager anything that most on here dont even understand that...its deeper than this but what I listed is the jist). Furthermore, if Sunny Side Down was that great of an asset to AL, Saban wouldve kept him without even giving him a raise.

A lot of what you say rings true for Phil Fulmer as well. Hamilton saw the power that Fulmer had throughout the "UT market" (from the boosters, to his assistants, to other personnel in the AD, to his players, and to the fans) and he didnt want someone that "helped" him achieve his status take it away from him. Just like the lie most throw up on here....Fulmer ousted John Majors....John Majors ousted John Majors...He repeatedly stabbed himself and couldnt put the knife down to save his own life. If there were ever an idiot that couldnt put a band-aid on, what was initially a paper cut, it was him!!

I concur on the view about having a big name coach here that will demand the "keys" be given to him or they wont get his services. The college game, internally and on the field, has changed astronomically in the past 12-15 years.
