Randy Sanders

Now that we see Randy leading Kentucky to offensive prominence, do you still think it was him or Phil holding back this team in the early 2000's?

I've always thought that Sanders was a scapegoat and that the Fulmer defenders needed someone to blame, so rather than point the finger at Fulmer, they had to get rid of Sanders. Come to find out that Fulmer had his hand in the offense during the Sanders era more often than many wanted to believe.

There's a reason that the 2005 offensive numbers didn't match the 2006 squad's. Cutcliffe had pretty much the same players to work with that Sanders had in '05. I think you get the picture...

 

[Jmxvol]

it is definitely starting to look like the negarandy's were wrong

He wasn't great, but Cutcliffe ain't that much better.

Fulmer isn't good

randy needed to go. we actually pass it down the field now instead of throwing only screen passes for negative 2 yards

We´ll take him.

Have you seen the past 3 games? We've thrown it down the field maybe 3 times in 3 games.

Hard to say, but interesting to contemplate. I will give Cutcliffe credit for fixing all of the mental miscues we used to suffer from on offense. Holding, false starts, bad routes, etc., greatly diminished after Cutcliffe got here... Of course Phil also got a little better at institutional control at the same time.

exactly that's more than in '05

Probably because in 2005 we could trust Ainge to hit water if he threw out of a boat and because we had a spaghetti armed QB in Clausen.

In '05 we didn't throw it downfield because we didn't choose to call those plays.

This year, our receivers can't beat coverages to get downfield and we have no choice but to throw it short.

Randy is nothing but the QB coach at Ky. he is not calling plays.:rock:

I totally agree with that. THe offense now looks just like it did (only worse) when Sanders was here. Watever guidelines Fulmer is holding everyone to they show. THey show badly and its obvious that he is the problem...I cant remember the last time we as a team came out and ran the same :censored: *ing package for 3 weeks in a row. I mean no change watsoever except throwing the lil 5 yrd out pass to a different side of the field.

As the head coach Fulmer needs to take the ulimate responsibility, but Sanders and the other assistants work with very little interference or oversight from Phil. To quote my friend from the '98 title team, "Phil doesn't do squat. He just lets the assistants do all the work."

if the first play in the arky state game is a pass to the flats I'm turning the game off and driving off a cliff

we have a better QB and i think statistically we are more efficient in our passing game under Cut. the running game is awful, but i wonder how much of that is the O line and how much can be attributed to the backs. still, i think that in this unprecedented turn of events, we are struggling much more defensively than offensively. if D would step it up, i think we can put enough points on the board to beat most of our remaining opponents (assuming they don't have florida's rush defense).

The truth is somewhere in the middle ksush. CPF is just involved enough to take the credit, but removed just enough to can someone to save his ass.

He is much more controlling than your post indicates.
