This one's on the coaches!

The previous coaches...

Coach O left Ole Miss with a team that even Houston Nutt could win with.

Coach Fulmer left Tennessee with a team that General Neyland couldn't have won with.

should i pick up on sarcasm a-hole or are you just that and blind?

 

[utkjoe29]

Perhaps you should explain it to me...

I thought we had another "I am smarter than our current coaches" thread, but I like this one better. For the record, I liked Phil, but he did leave the cupboard pretty bare.

filmer effectively stole the 08 and 09 and prolly '10 football seasons from the fans... IOW, we will not really be competitive until '11...

I think this loss is on CEO, he is the one that recruited all that talent at OM.....got to be his fault

I think our injuries finally caught up with us. We've been limping through with our third string backers in and now with out a jj we've hit rock bottom

 

[codyg10]

I give it two years and we will be back in the top ten

 

[Alumni_06]

just hope recruiting doesn't take a hit.

I couldn't agree more.

I must say, I'm even more impressed with Coach O's recruiting abilities after today.

If he could bring that much talent into Oxford, then what he should pull into Knoxville will likely be amazing.

Everyone should calm down we are a better team than what we looked like tonight. I don't think many teams would have done as well as we did with the circus they had to deal with all week. We will right the ship and win out including our bowl game. Most of the experts picked us to win this game tonight.

Please everyone focus in on this comment above.

No we just caught them on the wrong day... UGA beats auburn... auburn kills us.. we beat UGA Throttle south carolina... who beats Ole miss.. Our conference is just competitive. I agree we aren't stacked with talent, but we have enough to beat just about anyone... but not today.. They simply out played and coached us.

Hard to win games with a bare cupboard---fulmer walked with millions in UT money and left little. Thanks phil--for nothing!
