My list:

Hamilton
Hart
Curry
Haslam(s)
Cheek
Dipetrio
Kiffin
Dooley
Jones

I toyed with the idea of adding Fulmer to the list because this slide began under his watch.

Who am I forgetting?

Are you kidding? You have to include Fulmer on this list. He started UT’s decline. He completely lost control of the program.

I have a question for some of you guys why do you blame fulmer for the down fall of tenn football the man coached 16 years and only had 2 losing seasons. he grew up in Tennessee played for Tennessee and bleeds orange he has given his all for tenn and yet some of you blame hi for every thing wrong with the program. its been 10 years since he was coach at tenn so put it to rest.

Fulmer's last few teams were more competetive and than we've been since. Pulling the trigger on Fulmer killed the program more than anything. UT is not a place that should win 10 a year. Not in a conference with LSU, Bama, Florida and Georgia programs being good and with more fertile recruiting grounds. What Fulmer was doing in the early 2000s, while not equal to the late 90s was still outstanding with our inherent disadvantage in the conference. And firing a legend, no matter if he wasn't what he had been, really poisoned the well for getting another high level coach to take the job. We picked up Kiffin as a stepping stone and a bunch of guys whose plateaus were mid-majors.

Saban

 

[MSCE09]

I'd add Dabo Sweeny and Steve Spurrier. SC having relevant programs closed a pipeline for talent us as well.

What did Lane Kiffin do?

 

[utfan72408]

The funny thing about these threads is the number of times I've found myself thinking about where this all started and how it's been allowed to continue. But it's like...... 2-3 times a season. After every Florida and Vandy game I find myself thinking about this and questioning the entire existence of this program and my support of it. I don't know what's left to say.

 

[utfan72408]

The thing about it is we can call it the death of Tennessee football or whatever. But Tennessee football has had about 15 "deaths" since 2007 so what does it mean really?

 

[volKano]

What did Lane Kiffin do?

Are you 4 years old?

HASLAM and his AD lieutenants!

Pruitt

When a coach wants to win at any legal means, he will take risks
For instance, Saban played the 2nd string QB last season against Clemson and they won
Pruitt should have played Keller more often; especially when it was obvious that JG wasn't getting it done
Pruitt did not want to bruise JG fragile ego so,he continued to,play him
Pruitt is NOT the coach to lead us to the promise land...... Does not really want to win

Well, regardless of who is to blame, UT football, as it once was doesn't exist. The "guys at the top" either didn't or don't care about having a competitive SEC football program or they wanted to change the image to an academic one. They succeeded in destroying it all. Can it go lower? Yes, if Pruitt doesn't work out or the Haslam's continue hiring incompetent UT caretakers.
