Pat Forde grades the coaching hires

[UpTheMiddlex3Punt]

Only one program got above a B-minus, and you get one guess at which.

It feels good to get great press over a hire strictly because it was a great hire and not for PC reasons.

when I posted earlier this week that of the 3 SEC jobs open, we made the best hire.

Let's face it: The Bulldogs are not dealing from a position of strength in the SEC. They've won four or fewer games in seven of the past eight seasons. So landing one of the brightest offensive assistants in the country is a coup.

It's known as damning with faint praise.

I personally would prefer Kiffin to Mullen as a coach, due to experience, having his dad there, etc. But considering it's UT, it's an underwhelming hire. And the difference between Mullen and Kiffin is not that much. I just give a slight edge to Kiffin. But UT should have hired a Patterson or Petersen type.

The seven (white) men hired for those...

why?

...just to see him take Auburn behind the woodshed.

Who can argue that?
