This is the dumbest thread I've seen since Teddy started posting here. No suspensions? Just dumb.

Tennessee has had a recent tradition of thug players. If Fulmer doesn't suspend, it will just make him and program look bad. It's not that Fulmer doesn't need to stop suspending, but he needs to stop recruiting players with all these off-field problems.

Dirty?

Maybe Urban knows how to deal with them.


Just throw away guys like Banks, Morely, etc. What if Peyton Manning threw a pie across the kitchen at Birch Building, and hit somebody, or even landed on the floor and didn't clean it up.

He gets in trouble, and Fulmer says don't do it again, and he does it again.

Suspend him?

You are thinking Peyton wouldn't do this, he is a good guy. The answer is what do you know what anyone does? And whatever he has done in the past, doesn't make him the person he is today.

Peyton is a good guy, a big part of Vols tradition, though he can be a snobby person at times, still a good guy.

Guys like Banks who throws a chair off the balcony might actually be a decent fellow.

Too bad Fulmer blew it, not James Banks!

I don't care how many so called chances people are given.

You have to understand the term 'football family' and guys like Fulmer are afraid to actually work at it, so he just releases him.

A very cowardly thing to do.

Both sides made a promise upon signing day.

Fulmer doesn't keep his!

Yes he does. The kid didn't keep his.

The reason you enforce discipline is so you have more Peyton's and fewer Banks. I sincerely hope you are somehow joking...

You mean all the kids from single parent homes or who grew up in bad neighborhoods?

For every Banks Fulmer recruits and fails with, he has numerous kids that become more than they ever would have had they never played for UT.

Good point.

But I just don't want to hear anyone else complaining about Fulmer suspending players. He's doing the right thing.

I must say his views are definately screwed, but nothing to ban him over. I don't think he has the same morels that I have, but he is entitled to his.

That explains it. CaptainOrange had some mushrooms before he started this thread!

Enough with the suspensions Coach!

We get the point. Or do we? This guy is just trying to avoid actually doing a responsibility that is due as a coach and especially a football coach, and it's much more important because it's at Tennessee.

Or should I say harder!

Just because a player screws up, throws chairs, smoke marijuana, punches a person in the face, or tells somebody to shut up. You just can't suspend him.

I understood why coach Fulmer did this a few years ago, because he had preasure from people aside him.

That was when his job was in question, and a big 'hit' was simply clean up the act of the others. So he basically avoided it, and just removed anyone that did any kind of trouble.

And that's not right!

Were talking about humans, not dogs who you can drown after a loss. This is embarrasing to not us people of Tennessee, but you coach, and the acts are showing what direction we are working at.

Stop making exuses, and do some coaching. It takes more than just barking out, and calling plays, and recruiting.

Once you recruit them, the work hasn't even started.

Isn't that what the pride is about?

This is an absolutely ridiculous post. If a player commits to do something, or is told to do something by the coaching staff or University (or law), and does not comply he deserves suspension.

Worst post of the year.

Btw, Morley was kicked out of the UNIVERSITY for academics BY the UNIVERSITY. Fulmer had nothing to do with his dismissal. The Coaches shouldn't have to baby sit ADULTS. I go to class, and make good grades. Noone checks up on me, I don't have access to a fine academic center where I get tutors in EVERY subject and good, available study space. I don't get note takers. Yet, I still do my job. Why can't they do theirs? If someone isn't going to be a STUDENT then they sure as hell can't be a student athlete.

CaptainOrange, you couldn't be more wrong in your assessment.

I applaude CFP for his action taken on Coker.Maybe this will show the rest of the TEAM that you have to be accountable for your actions. There is still no "I" in TEAM.

You think that Meyer knew that Marcus Thomas liked to smoke doobage before he failed the drug test and that he did nothing about it? Do you really believe that?
Click to expand...

No. That is not what I said at all. Meyer knew about the failed drug test before any games were played and chose to do nothing about it initially. When he did take action it seemed awfully convenient that he was selective in his punishment, even in the face of a second failed test within a few weeks of the first. Surely he knew about the failed drug tests before we did?

We are all entitled to misspell words from time to time. As Captain is entitled to his moranic opinion.

Captain is the one a week or so ago that was wanting to know all the info on Banks. He wanted pictures and Video. I assume either they were lovers in the past or maybe smoking partners.

I dont think we will see him on here defending his opinion though.
