Calmed down a bit.

We won't have a chance to compete with bama and Florida. We will get 8-9 wins a season and be a middle of the road team.

How long will it be before Chavis is back running the D?

 

[swiperboyfan]

I would rather have Orgeron as HC.

Go jump off a bridge please

 

[joey-nac]

well, the reason i think most fans are mad about the idea of getting cut isn't that he is an awful coach but where would you rank him out of...
saban
meyer
spurrier
miles
richt
nutt
petrino
chizik
brooks
johnson
mullen
:cray:

Exactly this...He would be the 12th best coach(1st worth) in the conference...That wouldn't be a big deal if this were Kentucky or Miss St, but by God this is the University of Tennessee. I am in no way shape or form a Fulmer guy but Fulmer>Cutcliffe and that is damn pathetic.

 

[Volfan8282]

I'm literally sick about this... this is an incredibly dumb hire if it's official. Welcome back to running it up the middle on 3rd and 11.

 

[volsrock12]

Still...pretty pathetic he's the best we can get.

Hiring a 5 win HBC is pathetic..but u loved it!

Kiffin is a championship level coach. You will see that USC. They are going to do there what we wanted here. We're just in trouble.

 

[utkell65]

Wonder if Coleman will transfer back to UT next year? He was Cut's chosen one and I think he would be eligible to play next year?

Now there is a scary thought. Although he would be the perfect QB for Cutcliffe's Screen Offence.

 

[RevRockyTop]

No to Cutcliffe!!!!

 

[Alley]

Welcome back to apathy and 5 to 6 loss seasons more like it. These 1990's retreads (Fulmer/Cut/Chavis) haven't won anything since 1998. You know, when the SEC was much stronger than it is today. Right?

I'm beginning to think that there really is something in East Tennessee water.

And Roper as well?!?! UT = Morons.

 

[volsrock12]

Kiffin is a championship level coach.

OMG LOL

The stupidest thing I have ever heard!!!!

You base that on what his 7 total wins as a college HBC?

Or his honesty ???

 

[kotheb]

If Cut comes to UT, then Lance Thompson better still be on staff and he better be the recruiting coordinator. He'll be the only good recruiter left.

 

[GreatWhiteNorth]

Wow! That's a great reason to make somebody with no real experience other than WR and RB coach a shot at HC. I don't know why Hamilton is the AD instead of you.

LOL, whatever man. If its between Kippy Brown or Cutcliffe, I'm for Kippy all the way. I didn't say the guy was the second coming of Neyland or anything.

 

[utkell65]

If Cut comes to UT, then Lance Thompson better still be on staff and he better be the recruiting coordinator. He'll be the only good recruiter left.

It's already been quoted that he wants to bring his staff that he built at the mighty football program of Duke. The only one that might survive this is Kippy since the two of them coached together under Foolmer.

 

[Greg]

Maybe you've calmed down, but I'm VERY pissed! I don't care much about sports and the UT sports aren't the only ones left in the lurch by Lane. He didn't call me to tell me he was leaving even though he told me he had never met a man like me. We had discussed moving to California so we could be out in the open and be accepted, but I've been trying to call him the past two days and he will NOT return my calls. This is totally unacceptable.

 

[swavol]

Go Vols states he wants to bring back Chavis. The gang will all be here as soon as Phil is the AD. I cannot believe how bad this is turning.:banghead2:

 

[VolDomination]

I am ready to puke on my keyboard if this is true. Way to go MH by stepping back the program a few years. Fire freaken Hammy if this is true.

New AD something to seriously consider. Why can't he land someone. Is it because he can't relate to a coach? Are they intimidated by him? If you look around alot of your AD's are ex coaches or players. A businessman trying to lure a coach? Maybe that's a bad mix. It's just seems funny why a guy would not want to up his salary three times or a guy from Air Force would not want to come to Tennessee. Strange.

 

[matrosscbc]

I would rather have Orgeron as HC.

No thanks...we need someone that is all Vol....surround him with good recruiters...we will be fine...this is his Dream Job!!

 

[distrovol]

The staff issue could be a very opportune way of leaving an opening for Kippy. I couldn't agree more that between Kippy and Cutcliff, I'll take Kippy.

But even if it is Cutcliff, this end of the world crap has to stop. What do you expect when your HFC bolts on you 3 weeks before NSD? It's been said before that getting the "big splash" would entail that said coach would be doing the same thing to their school that a--hole did to us! Fact is most good men would not do this to their current employer and expecting to get the best of the best is unrealistic under these circumstances
