Yeah 01-03. He didn't accomplish that in his last 5yrs coaching

I hope he's paying you to post this nonsense

It’s all water under the bridge, but you can’t deny that he gave most of us alive the best years of Tennessee football. Also, allowing him to get Taj Boyd here to run Clawson’s offense would have been better than wandering around football purgatory for a decade.

Two ten win seasons out of the past three and building the program around a freshman while also beating two of our biggest rivals; Bama and Florida.

Go Big Orange

I hear ya but read the room. You don’t come in here with the full rah rah rah, after they laid that turd on the field last night.

Let everyone absorb that utter failure by coaches and players before stepping back into the bigger picture. Or at least have a lighter footprint.

2 SEC championship games. And how many have we been to since then?

I'd say that's "something"

He said 2 ten win seasons out of 3. The last time Fulmer accomplished that was 01-03 which is what I replied to

Fulmer never intended to allow Clawson to run anything. It was always going to be done one way

Getting drilled like last night against Nebraska in the Orange Bowl at the end of one season, and then going undefeated and winning the Natty the next year was great coaching and the pinnacle of a career. For anyone

I agree. I was in Miami for that Orange Bowl and can tell you that Nebraska team was pure domination. It wasn’t like Saturday night and OSU couldn’t hold a candle to them. But, just as with all of the few losses with Manning, I felt there was a chance to come back.

Next year-15-0!

Yet most on here want coaches fired.

There were lots of people that I knew who wanted Fulmer Fired from day one. That's just the way it is. They would happily tell you too if you didn't hate the team, players, and staff you were "not a true vol fan". I've heard this stuff my whole life.

I would never say, though, that it's "most people". That's just imaginary information. However, if it seems like it's most people, you do see the heads roll pretty soon. If you watch the coaching silly season, it does seem to line up that somebody somewhere will cut the coach off when it seems like "most" are against him.

Like Ryan Day right now. He may be headed for a national championship in a couple weeks and they just hate him.

This. I also don’t feel like I felt during the Fulmer heyday, when I was confident we could go toe to toe with anyone in the country - largely because we had talent and position coaches like Cutcliffe and Chavis, who were proven commodities. The vibe I get from the Heupel era thus far is we’re good, but not quite ready for prime time. Wait and see.

A 10 win season today is the same as a 9 win season for most of Fulmer’s career. I believe CFB went from 11 to 12 games in 06, with the added game always being some G5 or FCS team.

You mean like getting beat 63-37 at Florida? Or getting drilled two years later as a double digit favorite? Or maybe getting down 35-0 in between at home. We had no chance in two of those games

Nebraska dominated just like Ohio State did. We never had a chance in that game

You do know the reason why fulmer got fired right? It’s because he held on too long to mid or terrible coaches on his staff.

OSU had a proven OC up in the both designing their offense. TN got some guy off the laundry crew up in the booth trying to learn his way around.

10 wins is “slightly “above average? 😂

Lets give each player a Trophy to go along with the 10 Wins
NO one gives a hoot about the wins without a better showing. Most programs play for A championship.
The also rans talk about W's....if it doesnt get to a Championship.
We lost in the Sweet 16. Good Season. Will it get better?

You don’t just get to wake up and be a champion. 10 win seasons puts you in the mix. I get it you’re upset, we all are. But step back and look at the trajectory of the program, we will be a 10 + winning team for the near future and an opportunity to compete for those championships. It takes steps to get to the top of the mtn, and we took one this year. We all want it now, but appreciate the process and climb to the top my friend. GBO
