If I agree with you we'll both be wrong.

If he could win there, and run a pretty clean program, he could do well at UT. I think he has total control here at OSU. They WILL NEVER ALLOW THIS AT UT. It's all about coming in sitting in the coach's chair and putting your new money shoes up on the desk with the fat-cat boosters. Thunder Thornton farts for extra awesomeness. The winning coaches run the show on their own now, but UT will not allow this to happen. No way. It's a toy soldier set for the barely-graduated-if-they-even-went-to-college-let-alone-UT boosters.

Do you read the comments section on the news sentinel? Or do your eyes just burn out of their sockets after the digital fold?

Mike Gundy wins but he doesn't have total control at Oklahoma State; T. Boone Pickens does.
Ever hear of a guy named Paul Bryant Jr.? His influence over the Alabama trustees is stronger than any UT booster's is on the Hill. When his daddy (a guy named Bear ... you might have heard of him) took the job at Bama, he walked into a meeting of boosters and told them he knew more about coaching than they did, so they needed to stay out of his way. As good a coach as Nick Saban is, he would be wise to send out his resume if he said something like that to Paul Jr. and friends. Shoot, Paul Jr. might send him packing anyway if people in Alabama start saying he is a better coach than Bear (for all Bama's recent success, you never hear anybody from down there compare Saban to Bear ... at least for now).
Same can be said about Phil Knight at Oregon (winning program) and Bobby Lowder at Auburn (usually a winning program). Don Leeburn (a guy nobody's ever heard of outside of Georgia) was the guy who pushed Vince Dooley out the door at Georgia.
Boosters run the show everywhere now.
Which is precisely why we're going to end up with Larry Fedora or some schwag-ass scrub coach.
I don't think the commentariat guides the coaching search.
Tennessee's search: Is it down to Mike Gundy and Charlie Strong?

I'm glad we've moved on from Gruden, but that was more than just a fantasy. Somebody talked to the guy at some point. Moving along, I guess the coach of the day is Charlie Strong.

The games themselves are better than ever. Players are talented enough to make amazing plays (Tyler Bray and Cordarrelle Patterson), yet not developed enough so they screw up sometimes to keep things unpredictable (Tyler Bray and Cordarrelle Patterson). The Georgia-Bama SEC championship was one of the best games on any level I've seen in a while, regardless of the influence of boosters such as Don Leeburn and Paul Bryant Jr.
