Saban has completely ruined other programs perceptions of what success is

Its sad honestly. Compare length of tenures of Miles, Richt, Spurrier, Brooks, etc with now and it's scary how quick people go

Only Kentucky seems to have a reasonable expectation of their program.

Agreed. I do think Mullen had to go - but dude took them to 3 straight NY6 bowls and almost beat Bama in ATL LAST YEAR. Crazy how quick coaches are canned these days. Everyone wants their Saban but problem is there is only 1 Saban

The Joker Phillips years have no doubt helped with that

He's also made all of those guys, successful or not filthy rich.

True, it wouldn't be that way if he weren't winning the conference half the time since he's been there. Be interesting to see going forward if it reverts back to the way it was previously with 6 different teams winning the title
1998 UTK
1999 Bama
2000 UF
2001 LSU
2002 UGA
2003 LSU
2004 Auburn
That's seven seasons with the six best teams historically winning the conference at least once. That stopped happening after 2009.

I remember people saying that about Bear Bryant

That can not be correct, I thought he was only going to stay 5 years?

Absolutely true. You see it on the board daily. If UGA doesn't win it all, the season is said to be a failure. Then they will get shite-talked by a fanbase that isn't bowl eligible in week 12 and fired their coach.

Look at Dooley's record pre-1980. There is no way in the current climate that he ever would have made it to 1980, and without 1980--1983, he wouldn't be revered in Athens now.

We at Kentucky HAD to tolerate it.
This gets under my skin - no idea why Mark Stoops suddenly became the hot brand in the SEC for a bit - other than outside, looking in folks with no idea of the back story and we didn't realize at the time that Kentucky ran out to 4-0 in the conference against teams 10, 11, 12, and 13 in the league.
Mark Stoops is the same guy that watched Vandy and Florida win because the defense couldn't line up on a receiver outside the numbers. He's still the same guy that can't manage a clock. Still - if my hunch is right - the same guy that shuts down the offense anytime Kentucky gets up two scores in the second half.
He's got Kentucky to the best spot they've been since Jerry Claiborne. But lets not call him Bear Bryant just yet. Short story long - as only I can do it - Kentucky is patient the way Alabama, LSU, Georgia, and Florida should never be ... because Kentucky doesn't have the tools to work with that those schools do.

Wrong again. The Playoffs have completely changed other programs' perceptions of what success is.

This and how your rivals are doing. If UGa wasn't doing so well I don't think this would have unfolded with Mullen like it has.

There is literally nothing of substance that would lead you to this conclusion. Not on the field results, not recruiting…nothing
SEC fans just have a weird affinity for the tub of goo
