Well all you Fulmer haters got us here. I know you will never take blame for your hate that cost us our reputation as a football school, but you are to blame. Not Phil, not kiffen, not Hamilton, not Dooley, Just you haters with no appreciation for what we had. Stupid bunch of hating jerks.

Is there no Fulmer fatigue at this point?

We got to that point in 2005. Fulmer wants to focus on the first 10 years of his tenure and forget the rest. Sorry, Phil, but you left this program in much worse shape than it was in when you wrested it from Johnny's control.

I could put some stuff on Phil last year, but this year Phil has ZERO to do with Dooley's coaching limitations.

Where are Phil's Jr's and Sr's who should be leading this team?

VolDad said:
Mark Schlabach (ESPN) - Derek Dooley needs all the help that he can get. Let me tell you that right now. They are going to be lucky to win 4 or 5 games. They are going to be bad.

Host - Now why is that Mark, Is that to do with Lane Kiffin?

Mark Schlabach (ESPN) - To be honest with you it goes even goes back further than that. There is a reason that Fulmer was fired. They did not recruit well Fulmer’s last couple of years in Knoxville and when they did recruit well most of the guys were getting kick out of school. There was a lot of attrition the last couple of years under Fulmer obviously there was a lot of attrition when Kiffin bolted. There are just not enough bodies. They are looking at playing 2-3 true freshmen on the offensive line and you just cannot do that in the SEC.

Yes, throw the guy out if he doesn't win 9 every year, a few bad years is unacceptable. Now accept 4-5 wins a year for the next 5 years. It was a great thing this getting a new coach. All that Majors bull crap is really old hate. Let it go.

i think its hilarious that people are so lacking in intelligence that they get mad at a person they got fired. There is absolutely nothing wrong with these quotes. He would be 100 percent justified in saying " the dumb fans of the university of tennessee are getting exactly what they deserve" "i am the greatest virtually all of them have seen at this university" "this is what they get for thinking that just anyone could do the job better than me"

and then he should say " and here is an example of how dumb they are. They get a new coach that had every bit the resume of the last loserwho they loved" " in his second game he battles arguably the best team in america to a standstill for 2 and a half quarters with the supposed terrible talent i left behind" then two terrible momentum killing plays come along that would bury any football team that had absolutely nothing to do with the coaching" " and they blame the head football coach for that"

“You’re looking I think at a fairly long-term problem, certainly with all the transition that the program has been through in the last couple of years from me to Kiffin, a good number of players that left the program, just I think a general attitude. I know my last few years if you talked about only winning nine, it was an act of terror, and now they’re pushing and hoping to win six to get in a bowl game someway."

You know, after reading what he has to say, I truly hate him even more. And the fulmerites! If you guys couldn't see it was time for him to go, you never will, and do us all a favor and cheer for somebody else.. He had his time and he did do a lot of great things here. But the game had passed him by and he got lazy.. Why can't you guys see that or admit it! It was time for him to go... Too bad it was five years too late..

The thing I miss the most about Fulmer's teams was their ability to play 4 good hard quarters of football...Oh wait, I was thinking of something else. I really miss being ranked 4th in the preseason polls and finishing 1st...or 24th. I really really miss all of the times we came up big on 3rd and long when our defense looked like a pack of wild dogs...or whipped pups. Come to think of it I guess I really don't miss Phil all that much. Sorry boar tits.:shaking2:

Did you see Oregon's 2006 recruiting class? They had one four-star signed-and that was a two year transfer. Most of Oregon's star talent was signed in the last two years like TN.

Phil really pisses me off. He has as much to do with the problem than anyone else, and this "holier-than-thou" attitude can go to hell. I'll always respect Coach for what he did here, but as they say, C'mon Man!

Well he would know now wouldn't he?! It took him a long time to run it into the ground enough that they fired him. It might take twice as long to get back up - but I'm thinking CDD will take the shortest route possible that allows him to maintain his (and our) integrity.

The fact that Fulmer actually said "it's not easy to see the once proud Vols struggling" proves that he still doesn't get it. If going 5-7 for two season while he was in charge isn't struggling then I don't know what is. I think the man is delusional. If Cutcliffe hadn't come back and saved his butt for two years, he would have done even more damage to the program.

I seen nothing wrong with the article. One day, 5-10 years from now, people will look back at Fulmer's era and appreciate it.

I'd be careful. I said my opinion of Fulmer in another thread about him I didn't even start and all hell broke loose.

I would hope to lend some objectivity to the debate with my reply to the thread, but I'm not sure if it's possible with the hardened positions many of us have taken.

I would have liked to have kept Fulmer for the following reasons: He played for UT, was an Assistant for UT, was Johnny Major's best recruiter, had been promoted from OL to Offensive Coordinator and Assistant Head Coach, was named interim HC, took over the program and won a National Championship. He's a Tennessee guy who exceeded anyone's expectations. His program's eventual decline never reached the depths that it is at now. Anyone who thinks Phillip would have gutted the program of players and tradition and National Stature as is playing out before us is exaggerating his failure as a coach.

I would have liked to have had Lane Kiffin and his coaching staff around longer than a year to see what he could have done. He would have struggled this year for sure, but if he didn't land most of his players in jail or the University on probation, I believe he would have been very successful at UT. However, I would not have wanted to see LK succeed in "his way" over the Tennessee way in the end, and I'm glad he's gone. I would have taken some mediocre years with Johnny or Phil before trashing Tennessee's traditions.

None of us could have expected the adversity that Derek Dooley is now facing. Of all the coaching options availableto Mike Hamilton; Fulmer, Kiffin, Muschamp, Cutcliffe, etc., I truly believe Dooley is the best guy for the job right now. I think he has all the right answers for what Tennessee needs. Granted, there was a good arguement for change before firing PF.....but if anyone thought that firing Fulmer was going to land Tennessee this far out of contention.....NOBODY would have asked for the change.

Ironically, Tennessee may have landed the right person for the job. If DD leaves for greener pastures within the next 2 years, then I think we all will admit the terrible mistake. If however he turns the program around and stays long enough to compare himself to Fulmer and Neyland, or Dickey and Majors, then the change might have been worth it.

Blaming Fulmer for everything that happened after his termination is foolish.
