Did the Vols win the SECE because of Fulmer, or despite him?

I vote despite.

Nice poll.

Nice poll.

Thanks. And some say I stir the pot too much. As Alfred E Neumann would say, "Who, me?"

Seriously, though. Its an interesting question. I'll be curious to see how it turns out.

 

[tvolsfan]

You could have just started a thread with a popcorn smiley. But since you want to know I vote despite.

It's not an interesting question. The true answer is both. Most binary questions with both as an answer don't quite live up to interesting.

That hurts my head.

just thought I'd respond for you:

59-21

How do you do these polls?

After our big SECCG game, I'd like to start one on whether Florida lost the SEC East because of or in spite of Urban Meyer.

How many seasons did they let Zook lose 3 SEC games before firing him?

LOL. Literally.

You are giving us too much credit.

Actually it was 59-20, but who's counting, right?

If Fulmer deserves the blame when the team plays poorly, then he deserves the credit when the team plays well.

I just rounded incorrectly.

 

[utmba93]

because

his players, his team, his staff, yada yada yada

agreed. Good work against UGA and Arky.

Precisely correct!!

 

[utmba93]

agreed. Good work against UGA and Arky.

For all 9 wins, if you blame him for the 3 losses.

I vote despite.

Finally, after 7,828 posts, you say something that I agree with.:ermm:

 

[lawgator1]

Result so far is about 75 % for because of. Interesting and a little surprising to me. I would have thought it would be right around 50-50.

I'd say if Tebo stays his remaining two seasons and the Gators don't win the SEC East both seasons and at least the SEC once -he's gone. Three losses in Gator land is time to send the coach to the SWAMP!

taking credit for the ASUs of the world is just fine with me. More power to him.

The Vandy, UK and SC near abortions certainly aren't a positive in my mind. I'm glad about the outcomes, but coaching had to regress our talent to eke out those victories rather than win convincingly.

I'm not too keen on margin of victory/loss. A win counts as 1 win and a loss counts as 1 loss. Our NC team had a couple of close ones. OUr 5-6 team had close ones, but, in the end, we remember them as 13-0 and 5-6, respectively.
