Simms to Tennessee?

Word has it that Matt Simms, son of former NY Giants QB Phil Simms and brother to the most hated QB in Texas history, Chris Simms, has signed a letter of intent to play at Tennessee next year. Congrats Lane Kiffin. If this kid ever touches teh field, you've set your program back 4-5 years. The success that Texas has enjoyed under Vince Young and Colt McCoy (4 BCS bowls, 10 win season, 2 National Title appearances) should have been achieved under Mack Brown during the early part of this decade. The difference? QB play and leadership. With a chance at a title game against Colorado in 2001, Simms blew it. Every time he suited up against OU, Simms blew it. Bascially, without Chris Simms, UT wouldn't be saddled with the moniker "Unable to win the Big One without Vince Young." We'd be speaking about Texas the way people talk about OU, Ohio State, and USC - as annual national championship contenders and repeat conference champions of the 2000s.

So good job "the other" UT. All that money for best assistant coaches in the world won't help you if another demon seed of Phil Simms sees the field in Knoxville. Maybe Kiffin should call Mack Brown before confirming this letter...
