Depending upon when he's hired (assuming he's hired), and how fast he could get things going, I think he could better the class. Tap, tap, tapping that ring on the kitchen table of some top recruits just might work magic.

Whoever is hired needs to do that plus improve it, if at all possible. The guys we have been getting are not getting it done, at least defensively. Whether that is all players or scheme IDK.

If it was Gruden, which I doubt, would he have to finish out his MNF gig 1st? If so it would make it difficult for him to do any recruiting. If not IDK why we couldn't make a change mid-season?

I'm all about ring tapping - but it occurs to me that if ring tapping were the secret to landing recruits - Nick has three of 'em 

Hey ...... maybe you're on to something

High school recruits with asperations of playing in the NFL, will likely be more impressed with multiple NCAA national championship rings I would think than one lone Super Bowl ring.  Besides, wasn't Gruden fired from Oakland and Tampa Bay?

 I really don't know how to take you. i know you have been around before and show up on occasion but I can't tell if your gloating or just poking fun with buddies as I really don't know you that well. My memory aint what it used to be and most of this stuff said here is not put to memory so help me out here and enlighten me.

There isn't much to salvage.  Our class is currently 11th in the SEC.

I would think high school recruits would be more interested in the Super Bowl ring, but it's pretty subjective.  Gruden is not the only coach who has been fired. Nick Saban lost his job as an assistant coach at Ohio State in 1981.

@ Inspector - no, the latter - just poking some good natured fun with tailgate friends of years past - like I said in another thread, I honestly hope that you guys to land Gruden, or some other high profile coach.  Doesn't bother me a bit, and frankly it would only add to the strength of the SEC

Fair enough. Just trying to determine if you were a good fan or an Updyke.   

Never been to a UT/Bama game and I hope to go in 2 years Lord willing of course.
