TN- I hope they do, but they have to import players much like ND does. Not enough homegrown too and the local talent doesnt seem as loyal as some states.

Ole Miss- no school in the country that considers itself a "football school" that has been less successful last 40 years.. Too many barriers, have been discussed a lot this week. I don't see even a divisional title ever happening.

Auburn- they'll be back, when who knows. A coaching change on the eastern side of the state at the latest

I thought Alabama football program was done for good in 2006.

I think Ole Miss is definitely on the up. Freeze is a good coach, and I think he is learning what it takes to win at this level each week. He seems like he's got the recruiting headed in the right direction as well.

Auburn is in a tougher spot than Tennessee I think. The coaching situation since Fulmer was fired in Knoxville reminds me very much of our situation after we got rid of RC Slocum. Eventually, they will find their guy to get them back to where they should be, but remember Vols, NFL experience doesn't always = best fit. I like the Vols roster for the most part, particularly on offense.

Auburn is a mess. What happens if they go to fire Chiz, and he blackmails them with stuff about Cam's recruitment? It's clear Gene has lost that group of players, and I question the talent at the QB position. Pat Dye is a nuisance, and his constant babbling seems cancerous. Internally and externally, it's a mess on the Plains.

Career suicide if he does and he would lose the only accomplishment he's ever had as a HC.

You really think this would happen? Also, obligatory "ATPB" remark.

100% true, but couldn't the same be said for the football program should he produce hard evidence of malfeasance?

Look, I don't think it would happen either. It'd be throwing egg on the face of both parties. I think the end up firing Chizik, and he leaves with millions of parting gifts.

First off, he said "football" schools. Secondly, just stating "Mizzou" does not in any way, shape, or form answer the OP's question.

Auburn football will be back soon. Too many good recruits in Alabama, Georgia and Florida for them not to imo...

If you can D up on people like Mus will establish you don't need the flashy offense.

Say Auburn/Chiz recruitment of Cam was dirty... Auburn will owe Chizik 7.5 million if they fire him after the season. Guess how much they would owe him if it were discovered that AU had major NCAA infractions while he was coaching. That is 7.5 million reasons that he would keep his trap shut.
