If Bert had stayed he would have passed him. He only needed about 50 more wins which he could have easily gotten in about 6-7 more years, if not a year or two sooner. He was winning at a quicker rate than Alvarez had.

Now he can barely win an SEC game, using the same principles and philosophy. The competition is just so much better in the SEC.

When is the last time Indiana (4-0 I know), Iowa, Illinois, Purdue were any good? Even Vandy had back-to-back 9 win seasons recently.

And why do you think that is? I'm not thinking it's because there is so much happening in that part of Tennessee. I'm guessing it's because Franklin was a damn good recruiter and a pretty good coach. Why do you think Vandy is not sustaining that success? Hmmm.

Iowa is also 4-0. They also have been pretty good within the last 5 years. The last 2 or 3? No, not so much. This year they are like Indiana off to a 4-0 start. But talent wise, they would whoop Indiana ten ways to Sunday, but they are a physical football team. Besides their loss to Tennessee last year, Iowa has fared pretty well verses the SEC in bowl games over the years. They also have one BCS Orange Bowl victory over Georgia Tech (or maybe Clemson) back in 2010. They don't embarrass the Big Ten like Purdue or Illinois that is for sure.

He uses the same principles and philosophy as Les Miles and Nick Saban. He went from the 4th best program in the B1G to the 11th best program in the SEC. It should have been obvious he wasn't going to win as many games when he went after $
