Athletic Dept. leak says Chavis to replace Fulmer

Without great defensive players like Berry etc., Chavis is not capable of running a lemonade stand. I still have fond memories of the soft pass coverage in the UCLA game.

Just to play devil's advocate against another 1st time poster, which defensive coordinator has been able to stop a decent offense without good players?

I wouldn't knock Chavis at this point, our D is ranked 14th nationally with absolutely no help from the O. It's tough to be on the field as much as this group and still have solid numbers. If our O was in the top 75, our D might be top 5. So for everything wrong at UT this year, it ain't the Chavis led D.

Bull crap! There is no way in hell Chavis fills in for Fulmer. If CPF leaves I GUARANTEE you Chavis leaves immediately following. My sources say this crap is getting REAL old REAL fast.

I agree. I've seen a few people on here talk about getting rid of Chavis too, and I don't understand that. Yeah the UCLA game sucked but it seems to me, especially now that he's in the box, the d is awesome. Just like in '05. Even Majors said Chavis has saved CPF's job all these years!!

They are still negotiating Fulmer's demands. Beside the buyout, he still remains adamant about renaming Neyland Stadium to Fulmer Stadium. This would make up for Fulmer not having the opportunity to break Neyland's win record. Hamilton has countered with forfeiting 100 of Neyland's wins.

No! No! No! - Stadium name still Neyland. "The Hill" renamed "The Fulmer; alma mater rewritten "On a hallowed Fulmer..."

besides, Chief has sworn repeatedly that he does not run a "soft zone". Forget UCLA. It actually never happened. I know; I don't believe my eyes any more either.

Local news in the tri-cities is now saying that
the end of the Fulmer Era is near.

Yeah, 14th ranked defense in the nation with an offense ranked 115th? I would say that Chavis is doing a horrible job and would be a horrible choice to be an interim head coach. :banghead2:

I was joking when I asked. There's no way we wouldn't already know before some local news station would... Especially that one, since they just figured out the end is near...

There is no reason to name anybody interim coach. What possible benefit would it serve, other than to alleviate the impatience of internet message boards?

Tennessee has had several defensive coordinators in their history that have taken a group of decent defensive players (without stars) and rallied them together as a unit and made plays. Swarmed to the football and kept their poise and not gotten personal foul penalties. I am not taking anything away from the this year's defense. Those kids have played their hearts out. Especially Eric Berry. And done so spending way more time on the field than they should. I just can't imagine Chavis being more than a coordinator. Just because I am a first time poster here does not certify me as a rookie on Tennessee football. I have watched Tennessee for over 40 years and don't remember ever seeing them consistently being dominated like they have this year. Especially with the caliber of athletes they have.

Chavis IS NOT a great DC and would NOT be a good HC or even IHC.

Please name the last top shelf OC Chavis outcoached... He didn't even outcoach the guy from NIU. His D's do well when the UT talent margin over the other team is large enough to make up for Chavis' incompetent schemes and playcalling.

His laziness in recruiting has contributed to the current woes as much as any other factor.

Damn when does the madness end? Intirm coach for a coach that hasn't been fired yet. Come on guys. Ive read post after post of reliable source this reliable source that. Its old now. They haven't talked to any coach and are not going to talk to any other coachs until fulmer has been offically canned. Hamilton isn't going to talk to anyone or do anything until after the last game of the season. Its too late now to pull the trigger it would be pointless. I dont mind the talk about who the next coach might be, but dang it gets old.
