Thank you for coming to Tennessee

1) You couldn't win a game against UCLA, when we were averaging over 5 yards a rush

2) Your offense could only score 6 against the Gators

3) Now your not only failing to score, but your offense's miscues (another fumble on the 2 yard line) lead to 7 points for Auburn today

4) Can't convert a 2 point play to tie it up

5) With less than 5 minutes to go you can't pick up 15 yards to get us in FG range to put us ahead

please do something......your destroying Tennessee Football

This has basically nothing to do with Clawson...

Crompton is the biggst joke of a QB that I have seen play here...even AJ Suggs ould find at least a 2nd receiver...

There's a reason Cutcliffe had basically forgotten about Crompton...if he were here Coleman or Stephens would be our guy...

We have no chance at winning a single SEC game with him as our QB...if he remains at QB we are basically saying we want to intentionally tank this season

Fire Clawson, that would just be dumb at this point. Fire Crompton on the other hand would be brilliant compared to what we have seen.

I guess if you are giving him the benefit of the doubt in terms of installing a new offense. Me, I expect a new offensive coordinator at the BCS level to know how to prepare a team with a Spring and Fall under their belts.

Thing is, he had NO idea, just like us, as to what Crompton would do against 1st team defenses at game speed. We can blame tradition for that one.

I made a point that we've had Cut, then Sanders, the Cut again and now Clawson as OC's yet I haven't really noticed a change in offensive style. But one thing that has stayed the same, Phil is the HC. It's not going to matter who is up in the box.

Also some have wondered about the other QB's, well Cut went after BJ and that should say samething on what he saw. He did not recruit Crompton.

that's so true, i think clawson is just a guy to assist fulmer in practice and nothing else. the formations are the same, the lack of execution is the same. i just can't blaim clawson for the debacle.

I agree with your comments. But when you look at balls flying over the heads of receivers and hitting their shoe laces, it cant all be blamed on play calling.

no way is this debacle clawson's fault. he can't run his offense. he is limited by his terrible qb play. when he can only call 10-15% of his plays, what do you expect?

face it folks, a long season is coming. just like everyone knows, 7 or 8 in the box is all we'll see for the rest of the year. it's a sad state when ut has become a game elite sec teams try not to stumble in.

There is no offensive coordinator in the country that could do much with Crompton as QB.

I have been following the Vols for quite a while, my dad has followed them forever I think. We were talking today and said that JC might be the worse QB he has seen at UT.

What I don't understand is this; at what point will Phil and Clawson look at the end of the bench and see Nick, BJ, Gerald or even Berry and say "they can't do worse than what we have out there right now" Crompton is in for a loooonnnnnggg season. Bama will beat us by 50

This is really not Clawson's Fault and I think he would easily land a job somewhere else if fired with CPF. This was coming all along and Cut knew it that is why he jumped ship. I can only image. To be honest I have no idea who is calling the plays right now. But I do believe it is Fulmer still micro managing this.


THIS IS OBVIOUS IT IS SQUARE PEG ROUND HOLE SYNDROME.

Yeah, I believe Cut wanted no part of what he saw comming

I think the plays were there, but the throws were not. I'll send my Nana up to play next week.

Crompton sucks, but Clawson is not calling good plays. As an offensive coordinator, it is your job to adjust your offense to make it more affective.

Putting it all off on the qb is unfair. Yes, ultimately CPF is at fault, and Crompton is not playing well (to put it mildly), but this offense is NOT well coached PERIOD. Wrong routes are being run, penalties are being made, some catchable balls (even if they were poorly thrown) are being dropped, and we're not running the ball. Crompton is not the only one making mistakes out there.

One last thing, if I recall, Randy Sanders overrode CPF in 2005, and went with his personal choice at qb. CPF did NOT want to play Ricky, It's not some secret Phil lovefest to keep Jon in there, most likely, since he's been overridden on this in the past.

Some of you guys are starting to sound like Arkansas fans.

everybody talks about how bad crompton is. i was on the hill in 71 when the vols had a collection of q.b.s who stunk. but battle had the good sense to yank them and try somebody else, hoping that somebody had a hot hand. why the hell won't phil do that? is crompton the only q.b. on the travel squad? surely to goodness there are a couple of others on the team.

I'm not sure how Clawson can "adjust" the offense down any more to make it affective.Maybe they need to put the coach's on the field like they do in pop warner???

Sorry,but this offense is as affective as it's going to get because it's been "dumbed down" so much.

We've had to dumb down the offense before and it worked a lot better with ineffective qb play. Our running back production sucks too. We're also having blown routes because they have had so much new stuff thrown at them.

The whole offense looks completely lost. The problem is that Crompton isn't good enough to bad playcalling like Martin did in 99 and Clausen did after him. Plus, we don't have a dynamic running back who will be able to get yards regardless.


To be honest, Arian Foster is making Gerald Riggs' senior year look good.

They all suck right now, except GJ... and Warren, when he actually plays. The whole offense is not well coached.

It's obvious that the playcalling is limited, and JC said in post-game that he doesn't have the option to check-off. It's as "dumbed-down" as possble, and JC is still making an "F." Time for a change - how much worse could it get???

I dont think anyone can deny that Clawsen game planned well enough to win this game. He did have open receivers and man matchups that couldnt be exploited in the red zone. Pure execution problem.

One of the nitpick things though is the G-Gun Pass. We all knew it was coming sometime. The plan is simple: Set it up with the run ~15 times, and surprise with the pass. We set it up again early in the game here. But WTF? When we actually run it, we telegraph it by running on 1st down for no gain and KEEPING Jones in the game for 2nd and 10. It doesnt take a genius to figure out that it is highly likely the fabled G-Pass is coming.

Clawson, what is with these shotgun snaps to G. Jones?This isn't D-2, Dave.

I missed the Auburn game due to work, but it looks like making money was a better idea. Bench Crompton. Play Stephens (just try him out agains N.Illinois).
