Great post... and couldn't be more appropriate. You gotta give it up to Nick - he played with a lot of intensity on Saturday!

Glad they're all gone!

Good God Fulmer was a joke. How do we keep that dumb arse around so long, telling players they were playing to hard.

The more of this stuff that keeps coming out, the more infuriated I get. Fulmer was getting paid millions, and putting in the type of work you see at the DMV.

Nick played a great game. I read a lot of posts on here over the years speculating about poorly run practices in the past. I guess it is starting to come out with this comment and Berry's comment on preparedness.

Just an observation, but out of 12 posts on this thread 8 have been about Fulmer and don't even reference the great job Reveiz did this weekend and obviously throughout his time at TN. Trust me... I'm not a Fulmerite and have been wanting him and Chavis gone for at least 3-4 years, but the facts are he is now gone and I see no value in continuing to insult him when we should be complimenting and being thankful for our current players and staff.

Coach Fulmer owes all us UT fans an apology for the seven plus years of inept football that he gave us. The man made millions and put a piss poor product on the field.

I love Reveiz. He's not close to having the most talent on the team, but he's the best at maximizing everything he has.

Nick's the man, love his play. Putting a guy with heart like that into a captain's role is a great thing. One more example in an endless pool of how this staff "get's it. The only thing fulmer accomplished by his socialist approach of rotating captains was ensuring we didn't have any one true leader on the field.

I knew a couple of walk-ons. None of them were really fond of Phil. And yes, they both said they were chewed out if they played too hard.

Really sounds to me like they were too concerned with the thought that some walk-on could injure one of their golden boys and that's why they did it. It makes sense, but that's not the way the game is played. If you don't go 110% on every play, then no one gains anything of any substance.

To steal a line from hat: There's a perfectly legitimate reason why "The Fired Coach" is no longer pacing the sidelines clapping his way to another loss.

I agree with the practice how you would play cliche. Maybe there was something to the Florida players saying Tennessee just quit two years ago in the swamp.

I've yelled at a few kids for practicing too hard.

Mostly it involved something that carried a disproportionate injury risk. We're talking about guys that would facemask another, guys that would go for the knees, guys that would hit after the whistle, guys that would hit from behind, and so on. Now if the issue here is normal high-intensity scout team play, that's quite a different story.

My personal favorite involved a guy that was a complete flake and, frankly, a complete idiot. If he was on scout team, he'd mostly stand there and not do anything. As soon as we'd want to see a replay of the previous play (just re-setting and walking through), he'd suddenly because an All-American. Everyone else is doing a half-walk to show who they were blocking, and he's sprinting around and clobbering someone. Needless to say, there were a few run-ins with Mommy and Daddy too.
