Like many here, I finally came to the conclusion that we needed a change in the head coaching position. And I was one of the last to feel this way. But the tears sure did flow tonight, and like another poster said, I feel like there is a dagger in my chest.

And you know what I think this thread proves, at least to me? I think that as Volunteer fans, we are accustomed to winning. Nothing wrong with that, but when it didn't go our way, we became angry and wanted Phil to hit the road. But this whole game, I was thinking over and over...."Only 1 more half until its all over", or "Only one more quarter until its all over." And then, "I can't believe its down to one more minute". I can't speak for anybody else here, but I know for me, this thread is all about maybe, deep down, I am wondering if this was really the solution. I keep trying to think of scenarios where he might stay in some capacity.

And it occurs to me....It just isn't right that CPF isn't going to be on that sideline ever again. Its impossible to imagine that he may no longer be associated with the University of Tennessee. And that's really hard for me to deal with right now.

I am in agreement with the same conflicted emotions. We will see if this was the right choice in the months ahead. Somehow, I just don't know. It will not be the same next Sept. w/o him on the sidelines - but as they say, all good (and bad)things must come to the end, and we have arrived.

For those who think, yeah, he got a ton of money, remember he gave half of his salary away this year back to the university. How many of us would do that? Or even 1/100? Not too many, I dare say. He loved the Big Orange and he always will!

There is a time of change. I do appreciate all that CPF brought to UT and I thank him for his service. I got a little emotional tonight.Those who did not can kiss my ass and go to hell.

I'm ready for the new chapter but only an idiot of self importance did not feel a little emotion tonight.

To you coach, thank you. To all the tools who want to make their Krispy Kreme jokes or like hatvol who likes to bash anything Tennessee you can kiss it. Tonight we said good by to a good one. And hello to a new one. I wish our new coach and next years team all the best and you will have my support because I am a VOL! :rock:

Phil is a class act...a good man...and someone we could always count on to be a great representative of our program. I really felt a sense of loss after the game tonight because I knew we were losing a gentleman and someone who honestly tried for all these years to do what he felt was in the best interests of our great program and university.

I find it sad that the game has progressed to the point that Phil was unable to make the appropriate adjustments to keep us at the top of the heap. I know he will be fine...I would like to think that he will find other interests outside of coaching because I just don't want to think about him coaching somewhere else. I hope his legacy remains Tennessee forever...and nowhere else.

Now, I do want everyone to be as classy as he was as things wound down...and I want everyone to get behind our new coach and be the fans necessary to help us get back to the top of the SEC and beyond...I, for one, will not speculate on next year but I will be there on opening day doing whatever I can to support my Vols and my alma mater, The University of Tennessee.

Goodbye coach...best of luck...and may God richly bless you and your family!
