You've all gone full retard. I almost forgot how good LSU was before Saban & Miles got there and saved the shite hole that was the 90's in BR Or How Alabama was during the Shula era


It was easy for those 2 schools to come back because of their in-state recruiting. UT doesn't have that. When UT was dominant LSU, UGA, Bama, USCe weren't anything close to what they are today. Look at the rosters of UT in the 90's....tons of all-americans from La., Alabama, Georgia, So. Carolina. Most of those kids are staying home now.

Good Luck

Is Alabama actually a good recruiting ground? Bama only has 5 out of their 19 recruits from Alabama.

It sucks, but it's a true statement. They will have to get a guy that can not only recruit nationally, but be able to work with less and turn 3 stars into 4-5 ers.

This^^^... Mark Richt coming to UGA was the start of the UT decline. Their 90's teams were loaded with 4-5* Ga. talent. Since Richt has arrived it's been pretty much Eric Berry & Da'Rick for 4-5* gets...
