If the VOLS want to compete in the SEC, you've got to get some attitude, Nastiness, SPEED, and new, unpredictable plays in your playbook. Phil has none. Time to roll out Phil, Take Chavis, Cut, AND trooper with you, YES Trooper. our WR's SUCK. These nickle and dime 3 and 5 yard receptions ain't cutting it. Nip and Tuck that you friggin losers. Love the Vols, Hate the losing. Fulmer is the reason for the lack of enthusiasm and TEAM SPEED at Knoxville.

Fulmer has not taken advantage of the talent he's had. Is he able to? Ala has had an SEC chapmtionship (1999) since Tenn has. It's time to find someone who can make the most of the talent that continues to come to Knoxville. I think Fulmer has proved he hasn't a clue how to do that.

Coach Fulmer, or Coach Dudley Dooright, could win 5 or 6 games a year with the talent level at UT. Let's face it, his 8 and 9 win seasons are not impressive at all. Get over it, longevity means nothing to the fan base, only winning. As I said, if I go to work and have a 70% sucess rate working on patients in surgery, I guarantee you I won't be around the next season. Why should a multi-million dollar underachieving college football coach?

When your facilities ,your tradition ,your resources, and your fan base is better than 90% of the teams you play then 70% just isnt good enough.This program is drowning in a sea of mediocrity. We need a change!

Fulmer has been here a long time and I want to see him succeed. He will be our coach this season and I will support him. That being said, something has got to change. We have not won a championship or played in a BCS bowl since 1998 and I don't believe that is acceptable to anyone, including the fans, the AD and the coach himself. Ideally, I would like to see coach Fulmer get things turned around. He thinks he can. I guess the biggest question is how much time will he be given to do so? Thanks for the comments Earl.

Fulmer keeps driving the football program into the ground, yet he's not being held accountable. The first step in getting the program turned around is to get rid of him, ala Buzz Peterson.
