I hope he get's the chance

we're averaging 9 points a game in SEC play
and 19.2 points overall

we just had 4 straight 3 and outs, in the 4th qtr when we're down by 2, and we had decent field position after several of the punts

It 's pathetic

The whole second half we had decent field position, the whole 4th Qtr. we started inside the 50 yard line and couldnt even get in field goal range thats more than pathetic. The one and only scoring drive we had consisted on all runs and it started from the 50 yard line also. We have major problems offensively and that problem is crompton. He should have been pulled at halftime just like he should have last week against florida. Tuberville didnt have no problem pullin his quarterbacks when one wasnt gettin it done just like spurrier, les miles, and a number of other good coaches. I dont that clawson is to blame its all on crompton and fulmer. Maybe Fulmer will wake up and well see Stephens get the start against Northern Ill.

Crompton is horrible, but Clawson still calls more passes than runs (42 passes vs. UCLA, only running against UAB when we were still close in the 3rd, and so on ). He must if Crompton, and for the love of God I hope he doesn't, remain quarterback completley abandon what he wants to do with his scheme and pound the ball.

Crompton is not Joe Montana, we can not act like he is, and continue this West Coast attack, unless we are planning on losing to every SEC team this year.

This is not Clawson's problem. He's had to "dumb down" his offense (that is predicated on very complex, cerebral play calling) to cater to Crompton's dumbass.

Crompton was 8-23 for 67 yards today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I cannot remember a QB in my lifetime that is THIS bad. He's terrible. The coaches deserve to be fired if they're blindly putting their faith in a guy that is time and again, worthless.

Joey Matthews almost beat Florida. A.J. Suggs almost beat LSU.

Jonathan Crompton has beaten UAB and performed HORRIBLY in our other 3 games.

The part that's most terrifying is that he's back for his senior year next year!!!

This is what scares me the most. Surely they won't start him next year though. Bring in a true freshman if you have to. It cant get any worse

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 effective.

Uh, what? Clawson has had to cut first 40% then an extra 20% of the plays out of the playbook. Meaning we only have 40% of the original playbook in there... and Crompton still looks like the 3rd string QB of the JV high school team down the road. Are you kidding me?

Crompton missed receivers and threw balls 5-10 yards out of bounds consistently during the game. He can't hand the ball off for crying out loud.

If we had any kind of passing threat then the running game might have a chance at opening up. Our longest pass was 14 yards and IIRC that was a screen pass and the receiver got the yardage after the catch.

Defenses are going to put 8 men in the box all year long and force Crompton to throw. He will be unable to find the open or even just man-to-man covered receiver, and we go 4-8.

I still can't believe how he missed the post pattern in the first half. The guy was standing in the endzone BY HIMSELF and Crompton decides to throw it into double coverage to Gerald Jones. I also have a hard time believing he couldnt see the reciever in the back of the endzone on the 2pt play and threw it to the reciever short that WASN'T EVEN IN THE ENDZONE!!!!

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 Cut 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

you just said it yourself, if Clawson's so brilliant
move on and try a new QB

The lack of offense has everything to do with Clawson's
he's THE OFFENSIVE COORDINTOR

To 'bench' and OC is impossible mid season. To bench the #108 rated QB in D1 (or whatever JC's ranking is) is not only possible, it's logical. We will find out soon enough how much of this is due to the OC vs. the QB.

As you can tell by the avatar, I am a fan of Clawson. I think the reason the O looks so un-coordinated in the the QB isn't getting it mentally and the rest of the offense is second-guessing him.

Hopefully the next few games will be with at least a rotation of QBs.

I think you're wrong, there. Phil Fulmer is the one who decides when to pull the starting QB, not a newbie OC who came from outside the family.

We've dumbed down the Offense so much that it is now prediictable for defenses.

And it also makes the offense look like the same `ol thing.

Please let someone else start for the NIU game. If they watch the tape and see what we all saw yesterday there is no other conclusion they can come to. I just don't understand. Fulmer has pulled qb's in the past and has done it quickly. What is going on.. Are Stephens and Coleman that horrible?

just like everyone your entitled to your opinion
but Crompton's not calling the plays either, or wasting practice time on the G-gun

The offense has lost two fumbles on simple exchanges, inside the 5 yard line in two straight games, and if I remember correctly they muffed a snap in the UCLA game

Crompton or whoever the QB is needs to take all the snaps in practice, if they can't even execute the fundamentals

I will defintely agree that a fault of Clawson's at this point is that he hasn't replaced the inept QB...but do you think thats is really his call...I don't know if I believe that its his call...I think Fulmer may be forcing him to stick with Crompton

In todays paper (the Tennessean) it has a seperate article on the QB situation. It states "the staff discussed pulling Crompton late in the third quarter". Bottom line Phil makes the call so to bring in the staff and Clawson in the mix is pulling a CYA. :bottom:

by staff, I would think that means Clawson
so now we can add lack of Persuasion and Influence to his skill set

So either he can't make a decision to pull the QB, or he can't get Phil to agree to it either

He's should make the call on Crompton

He was brought in here to improve the offense
So I really doubt if he's telling Phil, we're going to try Stephens or Coleman that he couldn't get either of them into the game

Well today's a new opportunity to see what Clawson's offense can do
Crompton couldn't execute it, so we get to see what Stephens can do

GO VOLS

actually, hate to tell you but they both decide - possibly with clawson should having realized problems earlier since he spends time w/ the qbs as both qb coach and OC


However, you guys are missing that it's quite possible that they both chose him as the starter and that they both wanted to keep using him to see if he got better. Head coaches and OCs do agree on alot more than you guys as fans tend to credit...they could both be at blame

Guys, haven't you heard? Clawson wanted to bench Crompton during/after UCLA, but Fulmer said no. I also think Fulmer has his hands on the playbook a little too much for Clawson's offense to make progress. Nothing wrong with the Clawson hire. I think you guys will be happy with what he can eventually do if he ever gets to. Have you actually seen Richmond offensive footage? It's pretty impressive.

Do you honestly think Clawson has the authority to make that decision?

I think it's almost all on Fulmer & Crompton.

Saying he's been overruled by Fulmer, and Fulmer's interferring in the offense, is a convient way for folks that want Fulmer gone, to continue to beat that drum

Until the KNS, Tennessean, or some legitimate source reports that Fulmer's overruling Clawson, and not letting him run the offense, I'll continue to hold Clawson accountable for an ineffective offense

At some point I would expect Fulmer to really get involved how long can he let Clawson's offense cost us games

Thank you for coming to Tennessee

1) You couldn't win a game against UCLA, when we were averaging over 5 yards a rush - his first game, so probably a learining curve

2) Your offense could only score 6 against the Gators - called some good plays but turned the ball over twice in the red zone, not his fault

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 - Crompton

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 - Crompton again.

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

If you do not think Fulmer has not already gotten involved then you must crazy. He got involved in the UAB/FL/AU Games and if he didn't he should not be coaching the team. I not so sure he wasn't involve in the UCLA game but it is his lack of involvement then that must be causing this.

he is responsible and accountable for everything that the football team does or fails to do. To sit in idle and watch it fold would show him to be a fat cat drawing a paycheck. I wish you could understand that. He has lost it.

Phil Fulmer = Al Davis, only more polite.

(i.e. - meddles in everydamnthing)

Same as Oakland, when Fulmer is gone, we have the chance to be a better team.

go vls.

And FWIW, Britton Colquitt should have been dismissed from the team, at least for this year.

The fact that Phil left him on the team shows that (a) he has no integrity, and (b) he has no backbone.

We already knew both .

go vls.
