John fucking Cooper

There's not even a close second.

I'm going off my own thread here, but why Coop? What to you think would have happened if we'd stayed with Earl Bruce for another 5 year contract? In fact, that might make a good thread on it's own.

I don't know what happened with Coop re: Michigan, but I know that I watched some very exciting/entertaining OSU football while he was here, and if he missed the brass ring you still have to admit four things: 1. he brought a ton of talent to the school 2. he brought us to the brink of three national championships 3. he kicked some major Notre Dame ass 4. there were a lot of John Cooper kids on the NC team

Now as for that flaming asshole Amato... there's a real head job.

Three? 96, 98 and ... what... 95? That'd be my best guess, but losing 2 makes them further from the "brink" if you ask me.

I agree with your point, however. Coop couldn't beat Michigan, that's for sure. But the run from 93 thru 98 was awesom. Even that 94 team coulda shoulda been 10 - 2.

I don't understand the hate towards Spurrier ... I think he's hysterical. As long as he stays in the SEC, I'll never get sick of the slams against Tennessee or Georgia. His "can't spell Citrus without U-T" line ... the slam against Peyton Manning returning his senior season, "Whelp, I'm sure Peyton wanted to come back and win another Citrus Bowl ..." those are classic.

Since Spurrier and Phat Phil have been frequently mentioned, I'll toss this into the thread, from their offseason piss 'n moan contest.

The recent arrest count is led by Tennessee (11-9). The quote war will be won by Spurrier - I mean Phil's gotta come up with something better than "Maybe it rained that day and he didn't get to play golf".

Bold text added for the coaching quotes.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- Still upset about the number of his players arrested recently, Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer on Thursday jabbed back at an old coaching nemesis who took a dig at the Volunteers' situation.

South Carolina coach Steve Spurrier, who routinely poked fun at Tennessee while he coached at Florida, threw in a comment about the Vols when he was asked about criminal charges being dropped against Gamecocks receiver Syvelle Newton.

<!--startclickprintexclude-->"I guess at one time somebody accused [Newton] of slapping him or something," Spurrier was quoted as saying in Thursday's edition of The State newspaper. "But this was not a full-blown fight. If you want to read about some full-blown fights, read about the Tennessee players, not our guys. We've not had any knockdown, drag-out fights amongst our players."

Eleven Tennessee players have been arrested or cited since February 2004 on various charges, and four players were charged this week with assault stemming from two separate fights on campus.

"He needs to take care of his own house and leave mine alone. He's got plenty of issues over there, I'm sure, to deal with," Fulmer said Thursday after practice. "We've had a lot worse things than this that we've gotten through."

South Carolina has had nine players arrested in recent months.

Spurrier will be facing Tennessee this season for the first time as South Carolina coach when the Gamecocks come to Knoxville on Oct. 29. One of his most famous jokes about Tennessee was that "You can't spell Citrus without UT," referring to the many times the Vols had to settle going to the Citrus Bowl after losing to Florida.

"It doesn't bother me one bit," Fulmer said about Spurrier. "Maybe it rained that day and he didn't get to play golf."

Fulmer apologized earlier this week to university administrators and fans for the spate of arrests. Quarterback Brent Schaeffer and receiver Bret Smith were suspended from the team Monday, a day after they were charged with misdemeanor assault for allegedly hitting a fellow student in a campus dorm. The student had a cut on his head that required four staples to close.

On Tuesday, defensive end Robert Ayers and linebacker Jerod Mayo were charged with aggravated assault in connection with a fight at a party last month on campus that left another student unconscious and with a broken jaw.

Ayers was suspended from the team, Fulmer said Thursday. Fulmer doesn't believe Mayo did anything wrong and has not suspended him even though former Tennessee football player Thomas Stallworth told police Mayo was involved.

"[Stallworth's] wrong. I told him at the time he was wrong. He thought he saw something. That's the thing with that whole deal. A lot of people thought they saw things," Fulmer said.

I am surprised no one has mentioned that weasel up in Wisconsin. Alvarez is probably second on my list right behing ole' Lloyd

I cannot stand Barry for a few reasons, the most obvious is that they have given us fits for sometime now. Another is that we had to go to Madison TWO years in a row. I realize this isnt his fault, but i need to blame someone. And the last reason i cannot stand ALvarez is becuase in the Big Ten commercials where all the coaches talk about what is great about the B10, Alvarez has the part about good sportsmanship. The irony here is that his team probably has the worst sportsmanship in the conference. Stuff like dancing on the "O" and shooting off fireworks...Alvarez is hypocritical piece of crap in my opinion...
