Good job Chris. You are right on. It is past time for a change. Fulmer has got to go.

I agree completly, the only difference this is what I have been saying for years. Phil’s record against good coaches has been a joke for several years but just because he had a 70% + winning record people overlooked the fact that he can’t coach at the BCS level.

i’m pretty impressed. well put. i’ll co-sign for you anyday on this. i wasn’t at neyland, i got to watch it on tv and even the announcers were saying things about ut’s fans and how they were never even in the game. everyone is tired of mediocracy. there’s a reason for that. i think tennessee has one of the biggest fan bases in college football, along with the largest recruiting budget in all of college football, and one of the largest stadiums in all of college football. there is no reason we shouldn’t be a powerhouse in college football every saturday. while everyone else in college football adapted to the times, tennessee has consistantly stayed the same. we’re becoming the old vanderbilt. the sec punching bag, an “easy” conference win. look at vanderbilt, 4-0 and ranked for the first time since 84?? and they look good. south carolina even gave georgia a run for their money. and lsu auburn game?? i honestly don’t see us winning many conference games this year. phil you WERE a good coach, but it’s time you’re bought out of your contract and we bring in someone new with a little bit bigger playbook.

Good summary of a very disappointing effort by the Vols. Had they simply kicked away from James, not turned the ball over in key situations and had just a little offensive imagination or I would settle for execution, the game would have at least been respectable. I agree, with Phil Fulmer at the helm, it will be a struggle for this team, which lacks a leader, to reach medocrity. With the SEC, it may be more of a question of who can Tennessee beat?
Hang on Vol fans, this is the ugliest year in Tennessee Football unfolding before your eyes. Anyone know of any coaches at Division II schools who may be interested? It will be tough to get a good Division I coach with the mess Fulmer has created. I am not sure he has anyone else to throw under the bus. Maybe the Special Teams coach. Oh yeah, I think I know that guy.
