The love affair is that our offensive production has gone steadily downhill since he left. That is the truth. We are also less disciplined now than we were under his guidance. I believe we were never ranked less than 30th in the country for total offense under him.... we are ranked worse than...
I agree on the QB issue but the problems with this squad run much deeper than the QB play.
That is probably the most visible but there have not been many bright spots for this offense.
I am more than willing to give Fulmer a chance to right the ship this offseason but to do that he is going to have to fire some of his friends and he is also going to have to give the new guys much more freedom than he gives Sanders.
I have said many times that my main beef with Fulmer is...
Football at this level is a "what have you done for me lately" business and it should be. There are not too many jobs that will pay 2 million dollars to be ranked in the last quarter of your peers.
Fulmer is stubborn but I am not one of those who thinks he is so stupid that he will cut his...
The ref actually laughed as he was walking off the field holding his chin. He looked OK to me and that was one scary hit he took.
Hazards of the game for refs and I am surprised it does not happen more often.
Chavis is not the right head coach for UT. He is a very good defensive coordinator (except 3rd and long) but he is not a strong recruiter. Chavis is like Woody in many respects.
I sincerely hope he stays at UT but I would not blame him if he wanted to go elsewhere to test the waters. He...
I think if Fulmer hired a great offensive staff and left them alone like he does the defensive staff it would be the best of all worlds. Fulmer could recruit and do the cocktain circuit and his coordinators could gameplan on saturday and make him look good.
Probably is'nt going to happen...
This season is the result of poor coaching, poor discipline, poor execution, and poor luck.
I would say it started in the summer of 1999 and talent has bailed us out from suffering the meltdown we see this year.
Fulmer looked no worse than our offense did tonight. I would have never dreamed we would be this bad on offense this year.
Experienced line.... returned a frosh AA QB and a senior who played well enough last season.... deepest talent pool at WR we have ever had according to many.... returned...
You have to be disciplined and play mistake free football to win with a ball control offense. Two things this squad is incapable of right now due to many factors. We have little chance of being explosive with Rick Clausen under center and evidently we cannot be a smashmouth football team with...
