Danny Sheridan (long time handicapper) was on Finebaum yesterday and also pegged Tennessee as one of the top 2 teams in the SEC (along with LSU) for 2016.

All the gamblers are siding with Tennessee.

That should tell you something is up in Rocky Top.

I'm not convinced. When you think about how awful a program they were before Briles, I'd be too shook to even consider consider firing Briles if I was the admins at Baylor. Plus they just built a new stadium.



Than again with the offensive talent Briles has built at Baylor + there's SO MANY good spread offense coaches in Texas (on both the College & H.S. levels) it wouldn't be hard for Baylor to hire a good offensive coach & they'd still be able to win at least 7-8 games a year.

Like Herman 2 Baylor would scare the whole state of texas

I honestly don't see how Herman 2 Baylor should scare anyone anymore than Briles at Baylor because...

1. The Briles offense is basically an extremely aggresive version of Power Spread offenses like Tom Herman runs. Here's a good & easy to underatand X's & O's breakdown of the diffrences: "Concerning sports...": The Briles "veer and shoot" vs other smashmouth/power spread Os

2. Art Briles has DEEP ties in Texas that Herman can't match. Dude has been in Texas his entire life. Read his Wikipedia page to get his back story.

3. It's fukkING Baylor. Texas (& even A&M) is still gonna outrecruit them & have better players.

Herman has a lot of Texas ties.


1998 Texas Lutheran (WR)
1999–2000 Texas (GA)
2001–2004 Sam Houston State (WR/ST)
2005–2006 Texas State (OC/QB)
2007–2008 Rice (OC/QB)
2009–2011 Iowa State (OC/QB)
2012–2014 Ohio State (OC/QB)
2015–present Houston


He brought Houston their 1st five star recruit in year 1. He's a players coach. He would thrive at Baylor, but i honestly think the only other job in Texas he'll take is Texas. His dream job :yeshrug:
