I wish!!!! Please read a lot of insight of our problems. I am sure most of you know a lot of it.

Did you know? When we lose one more game. And, we will. It will be our worst team since 1906. We went 1-6-2 that year. Yes, we had some 3-5 or 3-5-1 seasons. But, statistically. 4-8 or 3-9 is a lower win percentage than 3-5-1.

I am not pro Clawson. A lot of our problems are the coaching staff. I agree our team would be 500% better. If, Gruden, Cowher, Leach, Patterson, etc... were coaching this team. If, all of them gave our players the discipline they need. Most of our players, but Berry, need a kick in the ASS. They have no pride, motivation, etc... All they want to do is blame the lack of fan support, miscues, etc..... Basically, they don't have a WINNING ATTITUDE!!!

I don't care if Gruden was calling his West Coast offensive plays like Clawson. You can't execute any good play calling with NO OFFENSIVE LINE, WRs drop lots of passes and run wrong routes, and QB play is horrible. Stephens is better than Crompton. But, that isn't saying much. Most junior high QBs are better than Crompton.

It is the reason Fulmer hung himself. He was too loyal or too stupid to fire Adkins. Our line has went downhill ever since Adkins starting messing with our OL. He was TE coach and OL coach in 2003. In 2006, he was promoted to OL coach.

Our rushing in the SEC was 10th in 2006, 9th in 2007. All because Cutcliffe had Ainge getting rid of the ball so quickly. We were somewhat effective on offense. Cutcliffe knew our OL sucked!!! We will be last in the SEC in rushing this year?, probably!!!

I will say Clawson needs to teach them to quit taking sacks. Throw the ball away unless it is third down, instead of taking sacks. Negative yard plays kill your offense.

The Rocky Top Horror Show is almost over, thank God. It is time to clean house. And, get some coaches who kick our players in the ass and hold them accountable!!!

Do you think if Fulmer made Foster run until he threw up during practice after the personal foul vs UF that set the tone for the season? We would be having all these problems. It is why all the players love, but don't respect Fulmer. Fulmer is way too soft toward them!!!


You have to be able to run the ball and stop the run in any conference, especially the SEC. Unless, you can pass for 400 a game like TT. You won't win championships that way!!! Fulmer said after we got our tails kicked by Nebraska in 97. You have to win the wars in the trenches. Hello????.... Wake up Fulmer, you aren't winning the wars in the trenches when your team isn't able to run the ball.


Here are the rushing numbers from 99-07. It is bad when your HC was a former offensive lineman and offensive line coach. And, you are in the bottom 5 in the SEC in rushing from 2002-2007 with the exception of one year!!!

Fulmer is a joke. Mike Berry and David Cutcliffe did well with our OLs. Cutcliffe is a great QB coach. A HC should be able to coach QBs. Fulmer can't even coach players how to block anymore! I won't be crying during the UK game!!!!!!!

Hey Fulmer, make sure you take your buddy Chavis with you!!! He is another reason you hung your own neck. You had to be loyal to him. 167 yards rushing allowed versus Wyoming. Are you freaking kidding me?

Yes, they have a decent run game. But, no way they should have rushed for 167. When they only put up 99 yards passing! Put 9 in the box like everyone else does us Chavis. Oh, I forgot. You have been coaching under Fulmer for years. What do you know, right?

NUMBERS IN BOLD ARE OUR RUSHING TOTALS AND RANKING IN SEC.

Yeah right Corso, we should give Fulmer another year. Look at Penn State with JoePa, right. What happened to Penn State today Corso. By the way Corso, you don't continue to give your HC more chances. When our OL is the weakest point of our team. And, your HC was a former OL men, and OL coach!!!! Corso, get your head out of your rear and quit trying to make TN look bad for firing a coach. The SEC has went through 30 coaches during Fulmers tenure. Even Vandy has had four coaches in the last 17 years!!!

It is obvious people don't appreciate the time I spent gathering info on our OL, worst record, etc... You are welcome to remove the thread. I thought I made a lot of good points. Although, it was very lengthy.

I vented a lot of the TT vs OSU game. I should have enjoyed the game instead. Leach is a darn good coach!!! I hope we get him. If, we don't get Gruden, Cowher, or Kiffin and his father.
