My last accounting of player attrition has 17 of Fulmer's players missing JUST BECAUSE of the Kiffin hire. That's the single biggest reason for lack of depth. Now coach Fulmer also counts the recruits that were never signed when Kiffin took over and the players that left after Dooley was...

I would hope to lend some objectivity to the debate with my reply to the thread, but I'm not sure if it's possible with the hardened positions many of us have taken. I would have liked to have kept Fulmer for the following reasons: He played for UT, was an Assistant for UT, was Johnny Major's...

The other leagues want more revenue. Expansion will allow for a championship game in the PAC 10 and Big 10. The SEC already has that.....and a lucrative TV deal with ESPN. Neither the PAC 10 nor Big 10 will grow to 16 teams right away. That will essentially eliminate title contenders as...

I think you are right on this point. I laugh at the notion that someone who is 34 yrs old, can only relate to the 'tail end' of the Coach Majors years. And I laugh some more at the burn out theory for Coach Fulmer and the Glory Years. When I was on campus, I relished the history of former...

Can't be summarized any better than this!

I was just comparing coaches to the arbitrary criteria that is discussed daily on the message boards. Dooley is considered because he is the head coach right now. Everyone has an opinion, mine is affected by the 5 criteria I listed in the original post.

VTVOL98 - you are correct. I don't want anyone to think that "my" top 5 criteria for a head coach was appropriate, but rather the reflection of the attributes that each coach brought with them when they came and left the program. I've settled on the most positive criteria you could have for...

This is what's most interesting to me. We tend to talk about the coaches the way we talk about the play calling in a game. When things are going well, we do the "wave" (while on offense, for some unknown reason). When things are going poorly, we have bitterly different opinions (historically...

No difference whatsoever.....just emphasizing style at the expense of thought.:shades:

Well, after readiing the comments of many different view points since Fulmer replaced Majors and Kiffin replaced Fulmer and Dooley replaced Kiffin......it became clear that winning future championships would be difficult with a revolving door at the Head Coaches office. There are only 3...

"If I had to do it all over again?" Well, I would say that these are the top five criteria for me as a Tennessee fan: 1. Coaching experience in the SEC preferred, an immediate understanding and embracing of Tennessee Football History and it's traditions, and a resume of winning at the...
