You say it is hopeless. We point out the moderate level of success because it refutes the notion that it is hopeless.

You then go into the blathering straw man routine as if any of us are completely satisfied with less than championships.

Just to retrace some of the basics of logic. Close is closer than far away. SEC runner up is closer than SECE 4th place.

Moderate success is better than little success- ie UT vs UK in 07.

Moderate success is a better platform than little to no success for reaching the next level. Spurrier took over a failing program and still hasn't gotten above 4th. Meyer took over a mediocre program and won an NC two years later.

good post

1.) Why accept it?

2.) Florida is a mediocre program?

Not relevant to the point being made.

However the powers that be must believe that Fulmer has performed well enough and will perform well enough in the future.

How is he performing or loyal? If someone is loyal, why do they need a raise?

Because they deserve it more than someone who isn't loyal and is just out for their own selfish interests.

Do you know how to turn a loyal employee into a disloyal one? Treat employees that get what they want through threats better than you treat the loyal employee is a very good way to start.

Why are you so sure if we get another coach we will rocket up and win the NC? I think we can still win one now.

Nothing you have said has done anything to justify Fulmer's raise. Supply and demand don't even justify it. Where is is Fulmer gonna make $2 million? Who else? What has he done to merit $2.4 million dollars recently? It just doesn't make a bit of sense.

The talent was there, but the Zookster could never get them over 8-5.

I would love to have a poll that only fans of other teams on here could vote about CPF is great for Tenn. or we should get rid of him.

Recruiting has become more difficult. In the mean time, he's made a habit out of beating Spurrier and Richt. They still make it much more difficult to recruit in those states... especially Richt because of UGA's overall success however UT hasn't collapsed into a quivering mass yet.

That is a reason to put a coach on notice, not hand him the keys to the Cadillac.

Exactly why I said he shouldn't get an automatic raise, 7 year contract, or increased buyout. 2005 just isn't that small in the rearview mirror yet. Everything should be based on merit.

I know what the FL fan's votes will be (I can't believe I typed that).

There is no certainty that we will improve. But that uncertainty shouldn't be the thing that holds us back from making a change. Firing a coach is a tough decision. OK... sometimes it works out, sometimes it doesn't. But by making a change, you at least send the message that you will not accept mediocrity... which is essentially what this program has become.
