I guess my beef with that rationale is I don't see how competition could make yall the last Power 5 job to get filled, unless it was the worst Power 5 job that opened (and I don't think that was the case). I really just think your AD is over his head, the days of promoting legendary coaches is over for a reason.

Oh sure. I don't think Muschamp was on many fan's wish lists no matter the fanbase.

Well except maybe people who wanted to see an Auburn melt.

Maybe it was the worst job open. Dunno. There are circumstances beyond Tanner's control, despite his atrocious management of the situation.

Miami hired an alum who fell in their lap.

UGA hired an alum (and if that job hadn't opened, Smart is probably in Columbia right now)

Mizzou hired an alum on-staff.

VaTech hired a guy who didn't want to come to the SEC.

Maryland hired a guy who was probably on our list, honestly.

We lost the hiring war, no doubt. But maybe he's the right guy, regardless.
