Boyd decommits to Tennessee, where will Fulmer, Croom, and Tuberville end up?

From reading the various internet boards, it appears that Tajh Boyd has pulled his commitment from the University of Tennessee after a long conversation with Lane Kiffin.  Boyd is a top flight QB prospect, but according to govolsxtra, Kiffin told Boyd that he wouldn't fit into his new system.  Is this a good decision by Kiffin and does he have another QB in mind (Barkley, Noues, etc) to bring in?  Only time will tell.  I'm not sure that Crompton or Stephens can play QB for UT. 

Rumors on other SEC Boards are stating that Fulmer may end up at Auburn.  Folks, after all the subpoena bullshit that's happened with the Bama Boosters lawsuits  the last few years, the only time Fulmer will step into Alabama is for a game or for SEC media days.  No way Fulmer ends up in Auburn.  I'd bet almost anything on that.  Just a hunch right now, but if Fulmer coaches again this year it will be at Mississippi State or Clemson.  I'm guessing that Leach is now a lock to end up at Auburn.  Muschamp is being mentioned again, but I think he stays at Texas considering he just signed a deal to be the "head coach in waiting".  I'd say that Leach or Kelly ends up at Auburn, Fulmer ends up at either Clemson or Mississippi State if he decides to coach again, and I'd say that Tuberville ends up out west somewhere.  I'm still not 100 percent sure that Weis isn't fired at ND by next week, despite media reports to the contrary.  If I were the two 6 million dollar men (Tubs and Fulmer), I'd lay back, count my money, and take a year off. 

It appears that the "Chief" John Chavis is interviewing at Clemson for the Defensive Coordinator position.  Congrats to him and I hope he gets it.  I hate that Chavis lost his job, but if it means that Monte is heading up from Tampa Bay, then it's all for the best.
