Well, the ship is listing pretty heavily to starboard..If we weren't so terrible this year, no one would be batting an eye at this transfer. I wish the young man well, but this is not an indictment on anything. Just a young man looking to get to play. Every single thread ends up in the sinking ship argument.
You guys don't even bother reading the article you just assume it's because TN sucks right now. All of you are too eager to jump on CJP nutsack.
That happens when you take a 4* TE, try to turn him into a LB, and then move him back to TE, in an offense that inexplicably doesn't try to utilize TEs because the head coach is a moron.
I will say, in defense of the defense (no pun intended), they really haven't been the reason this team has lost games. I think you can reasonably argue that they held up well until late in games where the pitiful offense has kept them on the field. They're not great, but I think they have played well enough to win a few of the games this season that we ended up losing. A better offense would've kept the UGA game competitive until the end. A better offense doesn't give Kentucky 21 free points and probably flips that game (not really a reach despite the final score). A better offense beats Arkansas despite poor defense in the 3rd quarter and I think a better offense beats Auburn and makes the Florida game competitive. I think there's a lack of playmakers on defense and they are pretty competitive despite that...and despite not being able to cover a slant.I don't know. I really don't. By reason... you look at his resume at UT and see this season coupled with GSU, BYU, and the struggles we all excused in the first year. You see his stubbornness with the QB situation. You see a supposed defensive guru... allowing over 30 ppg in his 3rd year.
But on the other side... I remember Fulmer sabotaging his own career at UT with loyalty to assistants who were complacent and who weren't getting the job done. I see the possible budget implications. I see people buying the Covid excuse.
Nothing he's done on the field of play suggests he should keep the job. He's lost several games when he had the superior roster. I'm not aware of any game he's won that he was supposed to lose.
Sadly... I think he's lost the team and no longer enjoys the respect needed to lead them.
