The sheer amount of buffoonery on display from some of my fellow Vol fans is plum embarrassing.
I know this won't help, but I have to try. To you Fulmer apologists, Think about the beatings, and I mean beatings, we received at the hands of Florida in the 90's. Now think about the wins we have over Florida in that same era, not even remotely similar huh. Losing by double digits repeatedly, and winning on a missed overtime field goal are not even in the same galaxy. Fulmer was a mediocre, at best, football coach, who systematically played not to lose instead of playing to win (this alone tells you all you need to know about his coaching skill). He was an above average recruiter, until he got extremely lazy.
He was nothing without Cut. Loving UT has nothing to do with coaching talent, and I think you are confusing the two.
