Just stop it. No real Canes fan acknowledges that we lost the 2003 Fiasco Bowl, it was stolen from us. Not to mention that Erickson's second title was a split title. Give both of them 1.5 national championships, from a coaching standpoint. Identical coaches. Identical in nearly every way...

Those overall records are nearly identical. Schnellenberger inherited one good recruiting year from Saban, but he won a championship in his fifth year, thus the players were his. JJ inherited a great team from Schnellenberger, but he won a championship in his fourth year, thus the players were...

It wasn't a complete inability to recruit, but people need to take a look at Erickson's M.O. With the ONLY real exception being UM, Erickson was MUCH BETTER at exacting a "turnaround" with another coach's players than he was in building his own program up. Look at his resume before he came to...

Yes, Dennis was implicated for SOME things, and then others fell under Lack of Institutional Control. The most well-known of the DENNIS-SPECIFIC issues are when he put Warren Sapp's positive drug test in his top drawer because he was "reviewing our drug test policy", when the reality is that...

Stop it. Just stop it. The 1984 season was a shambles because Howard left so late in the off-season and JJ was forced to keep ALL of Howard's assistants. Only after the 1984 disaster was JJ allowed to clean house and bring in his own guys. JJ didn't "let" Maryland come back, or BC come back...

Actually, Saban only coached through the 1978 season, due to the Hillel incident. Saban recruited Kelly, who was gone by 1983. I agree with your point about Saban getting the ball rolling, but all of his players were gone by 1983. .

Are you just a glutton for punishment? Are you only capable of quoting from the NCAA report because you DON'T KNOW and you WEREN'T THERE? Do you have a glossy, bound copy of the NCAA report under your pillow? "Numerous" (actually, a few) football players took outside jobs, such as working...

Again, you are ridiculous. Tony Russell did not start working at UM until 1988. You are too ignorant to realize this, but there were OTHER financial aid issues at UM BESIDES the Pell Grants. One involved UM miscalculating the housing allowance for players who lived off-campus. The other...

This is a RIDICULOUS reason to lionize Erickson. Anyone who knows anything about UM football knows that Erickson was trying to rein in the players during the 1990 season, and that it was the PLAYERS who chose to celebrate during the 1991 Cotton Bowl. Some of the players may have liked...

You idiot, that's a typo. There is no such thing as a 1985-89 academic year. Tony Russell didn't even work at UM until 1988. The UM Pell Grant problem was from the 1988-89 school year through the 1991-92 school year. I was going to UM at the time. But, hey, there are plenty of other news...

The fact that you even have to ask the question says everything. If Terry Porter doesn't throw that flag, then Larry Coker is equally "accomplished" as Dennis Erickson. .
