We got owned by Old Miss and Va Tech. He played ball against Alabama. We failed to get in FG range for that last kick. We lost to UCLA and Alburn. They should not have beat us at home. We beat Georgia. YIPPEEEE. Glad to see him gone.

You might be looking back at that season as "the good ole days" for quite some time.

Sort of like what happened throughout Fulmer's entire tenure and what's already happened in Dooley's first year? Sort of like what's happened consistently to super saint Mark Richt?

Yeah, if things get any worse they might create an award for the most law-violating school and name it after our head coach.

The article indicates ignorance on the part of the writer about all three coaches.

Fulmer had lost control of the team and had been passed by. I appreciate his contributions. I supported the chance he got to right the ship- that was proper. But when the trigger was pulled it was definitely time.

Kiffin got under the skin of alot of people in the SEC but to act like he didn't do anything good is ludicrous.

The guy acts as if he hasn't even read Dooley's resume. There are things that are definitely better than just not being Kiffin.

All in all... the article is a pretty worthless use of space and time.

I have defended fulmer to a large degree, but it was time for him to go.

I don't understand how an alumnus who made good is soooo despised by a large portion of the fan base.

From everything to his weight to his accent. I have seen plenty of tennessee people say he "sounds stupid". I shake my head because he is a tennessean with a tennessee accent. Way to insult yourselves.

The only thing I used to think was foolish was how he'd hold up 1 finger after a td for the extra point in a situation where it was obvious to kick the extra point.

I just don't understand the hate. Is it because of majors?

Christ-you again. Anyone care what the Florida fan thinks? Anyone?.....oh-you there, just scratching your nose I see.

Of course Florida wishes he was still here. What was Phil's record against them again?

I think just like alot of people CPF was a good coach but one thing killed him. He lost the fire to keep making a name for himself! He didn't have the same desire to compete in 2007 that he had in 1997! X and O's were probally still there but DESIRE wasn't. He got passed by and in turn the game passed him by!

yeah not really but I guess facts don't really matter

What are these so called "facts" that you speak of?

I have never heard of such a thing. I thought that anyone was basically allowed to make any accusations that they want about anyone else and it be true as long as the media covered it and the story made it to either television or at the least a blog on a non"biased" website...:crazy:

Really???? You are serious???? Because I was pumped as hell to know Lane was getting what he deserved!!!!! And any UT fan would probably have atleast a little happiness knowing it was Lane as well

Unlike the majority on here, I was over Lane shortly after we hired Dooley. I really don't care what he does because it has nothing to do with the Vols.

Or as foolish as Gator fans telling us we should have kept Fulmer.

if you could read, you would see in my post where i wrote it was time for fulmer to go.

just so you know, i don't anticipate losing to tennessee very often regardless of who tennessee has as its head coach.
