I don't know if Fulmer is in denial or what, but I was very dissapointed in what he had to say about the rest of the year. Either he's a very optimistic man, or completely blind. I'm hoping for the former.

All I wanted to hear him say is that we are going to make some changes in offensive personnel starting immediately........not that we are gonna look at it crap.

I look at it this way. He reminds me of the career politician up in Washington who has lost touch with the normal American citizen, living inside their own bubble. I think Phil doesn't care or even know what's happening in all of Vol Land.

It's like what Crompton said once, "they don't play for the fans but for themselves". You got to wonder if that's the mentality thru out the team.

By the way what else did he present as the outlook besides a CYA?

Great point about him losing touch with reality. He has no sense of failure or responsibility to turn this program around. He needs a reality check and man up and step down from the program. He has plenty to be proud of. Step down while you still have a good legacy instead of the guy who trickles away any credibility he had in the past. Let's go Phil and do something. Any move is better than no move at this point. Let the fans be optimistic again.

I was really disappointed with the miscommunication between Crompton and WRs yesterday. This is the coaches responsibility to make sure everyone understands the plays and run them to perfection in practice like Cut used to do. I wish he would acknowledge that.

I don't think he really grasps the reality of it all........or maybe he is at wits end and doesn't know what to do..........is he walking around with orange colored glasses on?

It just bugs me because he still acts like all is well. The one statement made me pull my hair out though was when he talked about how it may sound crazy, but ut still has some great opportunities in front of them.

We're 0-2 in SEC play, what exactly are these "opportunities?":blink:

Even if properly schooled it still comes down to the QBs ability to make the read. It is now clear that Cut KNEW that JC could not get to that point. Not saying that CPF and Clawson aren't ultimately responsible but this may be a case where it can NOT be fixed unless they go to another QB.

I can understand one or two misscommunications for a QB/WR in game 4. To have 4 is just unacceptable.

Unless Crompton consistently gets it right in practice and in scrimmages.....then goes out on Saturday Game Days and suffers from repetitive brain farts.

Some guys are great practice players, but don't show up when it counts.

What makes you think the receivers didn't run the correct routes? It was several different receivers and 1 QB. That would indicate to me that the QB had his head up his butt.

WTF!! He says STAY THE COURSE?

That's working well with President Bush and his approval rating isn't it?

Great point. Cut saw something (or in this case saw nothing) that would make him want to put Crompton on the field. What do we have to lose at this point by playing someone else at QB?

I used to think it was just stupid drivel, but there's something to be said about someone who doesn't keep themself in good physical condition trying to motivate kids to bust their ass around the football field.

Hopefully he meant the UT coaches and these opportunities entail jobs at different schools or career changes.

I think that perhaps Mr. Fulmer is a person who has evolved into a feeling of self-importance and grandiosity. I certainly am not a coach nor do I claim to be anything but a UT grad and a long time fan of the Volunteers. However, EVEN I would not need to "look at the film" at this point to know that my team is unprepared, underfunctioning and not competitive in the SEC. I believe that he now thinks that he is above reproach and that the millions he is paid at Tennessee is deserved and earned. The problem with all of this, of course, is that YET AGAIN we have a team that is performing on a mediocre level, with seemingly mediocre staff and a head coach who is unwilling to tell the truth about his program assuming that he knows it. I don't believe that he will leave willingly and I don't believe that Hamilton has the power to ask him to do so. I don't think that a man like Fulmer, who has such power, who is paid this salary and who is accustomed to living the lifestyle of being the coach of Tennessee will want to voluntarily move out into the pasture of retirement. Why would he?
