    Kelly won the SEC West and had a transfer win the Heisman Are you paying attention.? Shane Matthews would kill to get Riley in here, the guy is a proven winner.

    The teams they coach would destroy ours and pants our head coach on national television in the process.

    So both of these guys had the best player in the country at QB and the best they could do with it was win one SEC West title. Hmmmmm. How much are they being paid???

    Kelly sucks, would love to have Riley but it seemed he was trying to exit the SEC. Regardless, the "proven" stuff is overrated. Look at the top 10 and there are maybe 2 that were "proven" hires. The rest were coordinators or came from lower level schools.

    The problem with that is that the QB doesn't win championships. I remember a team that had the Heisman winner and still lost four games.

    Well, one of those guys failed in both stints as a head coach. The other had early failures and has gotten progressively better. I’m more inclined to take a chance on the latter.

    Well they both have winning records and have won a hell of a lot more games than Napier has. Neither is coming here now tho.

    At this level we expect championships not winning records. These guys have done NOTHING!

    Yes, but it does happen. Heck, Paul Hornung won the Heisman at Notre Dame when the team went 2-8...

    Championships are no longer the goal a spot in playoff is all that matters. At that point everything is a crap shoot

    Slow your roll, let’s get back to winning records and bowl appearances before talking championship expectations. Billy has reset expectations here.
