![]() The Tennessee bowl thread got me thinking, which hire was worse in the long run the South Carolina Fat Brad hire or the Tennessee Lame Kitten hire? I know we didn't have as far to fall as Tennessee at the time but which do you folks think is worse in hindsight?

![]() The reason for the comparison is the relative time it took us to rebuild & actually get much better & the projected time it will take Tennessee to do the same. We had the 0-21 debacle with Scott & a depletion of talent that Holtz began to rebuild & ultimately what SOS has been able to do.

![]() Brad Scott.
UT is already showing signs of recovery before Jones' second season (got a lot of good, young pieces to build around). One could argue we recovered by our second year, but UT didn't go 0-21...they kicked Kiffin to the curb well before the program trainwrecked.

![]() Brad.
The Kiffin fiasco was actually something that appeared to work in UT's favor over time. Look at them in 2 years. |

![]() Kiffen, Brad was actually pretty good at first. Kiffen loses everywhere he goes. He just didn't stay in Tennessee long enough to get run out, he dumped his mess on Dooley and Jones.

I'm with you...Kiffen dumped his mess...on UT, they did't dump him. Brad won the Carquest bowl back in '95, something we ain't never did. True, the 0-21 stint started with Brad but he did accomplish a positive "first time feat" during his tenure. |

![]() See, I was going to go all the way back to Sparky. The reason I didn't is due to Joining the SEC under his watch, that would have been a great task for just about any mid level coach to conquer. Scott depleted the talent and left the cupboard really bare for Holtz.

![]() They weren't "bad" under Lane because it's Tennessee and Rome isn't destroyed in day. Also, he at least brought his dad with him. However, I think the seeds of destruction were already sowed. And then they hired another sorry coach who took all the blame, but with either Kiffin or Dooley, the downfall was inevitable.

![]() I guess one of the things I was thinking was actually about the Hire itself, maybe not even the impact on the team........ given the option of only these two coaches with past history as a gauge, who would you hire today?
