Poor Phil, it's been a bad month, this December. First he loses to a overrated and physically wounded LSU team in the SEC Championship game. Then his protege, David Cutliffe, not only deserts him, but looks like he may take half of his staff to Durham with him. Now, half a dozen of his football team will be academically inelligible for the Outhouse Bowl. (Bet Cutcliffe won't take the head academic counselor with him to Duke).

Friends, this may be the beginning of the end for our embattled head coach as he desparately tries to keep the SS Minnow from sinking!:cray:

Just remember one thing. The S.S. Minnow didn't actually sink.

Sorry for the orange tinted shades. Ain't really overjoyed losing all the players for the bowl game but we still have to compete. What would be the assesment if we win the stinking Outhouse Bowl against a nondescript yankee team?

Jonas Grumby=A much better leader than Phil Fulmer.

Granted . . . Convincing Ginger and Mary Ann to go along for the trip and act as eye candy just in case they became shipwrecked was a stroke of genius.

Are you kidding me? Fulmer will be talking about how great this season was for the rest of this decade.

Am I the only one who notices that Tennessee is now exactly where Oklahoma was at the end of the Gary Gibbs era and Miami was right before Dennis Erickson left?

The Erickson analogy is probably pretty close. Not sure we are at the Gibbs level though.

Gibbs won exactly the same number of conference titles in his six years at OU that Fulmer has won in his last six.

I see it, but don't want to admit it. I don't think the bottom has completly fell out of it, but there is a severe leak.

Will Phil come up with equally impressive coaching replacements and either save his job or gamble enough to possibly lose it to the new hires?

Gibbs was the 90s version of Larry Coker. The farther he got from the Switzer era the less intelligent he looked.

I don't understand that line of thinking. If Tennessee fails badly enough to get Fulmer fired, you can be certain none of the staff will be promoted to replace him.

Agree.Why keep any of them if they're all a bunch of losers.

Sorry for being unclear. There are currently assistant coaching positions open which must be filled by the head coaches hires. Hiring the best available coach for said position could lend the team toward a better record than we are used to which would be a good thing according to the fans. If this was done, one of two things would result, fans would annoint CPF as a genious only interested in the success of the Vols or realize the new coach is the reason for the new found success and campaign for him to rise to the head coach position. Or the current head coach could realize all that and make sure his new coordinator wouldn't upstage him by hiring a yes man, as has been promoted ad naseum on this board for years. What will happen? Only the Shadow knows...
