Seems like blaming Fulmer is a bit off imo, not that he didn't take the foot off the pedal, but Kiffin's class destroyed the roster.
I don't really care, just sick of hearing the same mudslinging, be glad when it stops.
Tennessee RB Tauren Poole showed the above-average vision we expected, but his quickness out of cuts was a pleasant surprise. If he keeps it up he'll begin boosting his late-fourth-round grade.

Regardless of who is to blame for the horrible roster....your post SHOULD make it fairly simple for those that HATE Dooley to see what kind of mess he inherited. Rome wasn't built in a day and sometimes it's really hard to get all the dog sheeot off your shoe when it's a really big pile.
I don't think it really matters much what I think. We(fanbase) are three years removed from Kiffin and four years removed from Fulmer. It's time for Dooley, and his roster of recruits to bleed some Orange and win some games, games they're s'posed to win with a few surprises to boot. If Dooley can't get it done, time to go.
I think based on the circumstances that a little more patience with Dooley is in order. He may not be the man for the job, but damn....it takes time to rebuild after a gutting like this.
Tony Pauline said:Tauren Poole, RB, Tennessee -- Poole established himself as the top running back at the Shrine Game on Tuesday, then further affirmed this opinion in the minds of scouts today. He displayed incredible quickness and elusiveness every time he touched the ball, and also showed the uncanny knack to get past the line of scrimmage and through open running lanes without being touched by a defender. In the open field he showed a burst of speed and the ability to catch the ball. It was another terrific day for the Volunteer product.
