Now that the coaching situation seems settled in the SEC it seemed like a good time to rank the coaches based on 2009 performance.

By Shane from Centerpoint There’s a reason why former University of Tennessee Coach Phil Fulmer once wanted to destroy the Alabama football program. The same goes for Auburn, who spent years trying to help the NCAA give Alabama the “death” penalty. Both schools – and even a former SEC Commissioner – dedicated a great deal [...]

This culture encourages students to run amok on campus. I guess the publicity from police and emergency units having to converge [...]

From WBIR: Hundreds of students have now gathered on Johnny Majors Boulevard and are blocking the road, apparently with the goal of keeping departing Coach Lane Kiffin from leaving the lot. There are signs that order is breaking down–someone has apparently brought a mattress down and lit it on fire.
