Vols have suffered 18 25+ point losses since Fulmer left

Not surprising. The past 10 years have been the doldrums for UT football while being the renaissance for some of the other SEC programs.

In Fulmer's last 4 years, Tennessee was 29-21. In Butch Jones's last 4 years, Tennessee was 29-22. It wasn't like Fulmer was doing amazing things with the program when we let him go.

Letting Fulmer go was the right decision, as he could not adapt to the new style of winning in college football, but the administration has done a very poor job finding replacements.

Fulmer only had one season to adapt - he brought in the new OC but didnt have the right offensive players yet -- if knowing what the next 10 years were going to be like, then I would gladly have gave him 1 more season

This is the darkest period, results wise, in Tennessee football history. At least since Neyland was hired. Basically 10 yrs of miserable performances.

Fahr'n Fulmer was a very, very poor choice, those who are still trying to polish that turd ten years later obviously cosigned the decision and can't own up to a mistake even now. When Fulmer was fired we were literally one year removed from a 10 win season and one year removed from an SEC Championship appearance, and we haven't sniffed either since. We've had a hard time hiring coaches ever since because no decent coach with any other real option wants to come work for a bunch of jerks who treat somebody like Fulmer, one of our own, the way we did. What we could get was a sorry POS like Kiffin who simply resolved to screw us before we could screw him. Now that Fulmer, somebody who actually loves UT, despite everything is back in charge, we'll eventually get this sorted out. Call it butthurt or whatever you want but I absolutely fault you anti-Fulmerites for the last 10 years, you jerkoffs got too big for your britches and screwed all of us. You may hate Haslem now but 10 years ago you were right there with him, encouraging the powers that be to make the decision that has made us the laughing stock of the SEC. Congrats.

I’ll always be on Fulmer’s side. I grew up in the 90s and what I’ve seen from the coaches since then are coaches that really didn’t want to be here. And that’s because nobody wanted to here except Fulmer so we’ve had to settle for every coach since then. He truly cares about Tennessee. That’s what we’ve been missing with our head coaches. He was let go a year after making the SEC Championship. We were about to have Tajh Boyd until Kiffin turned him away. I think we should’ve stuck it out. At least we were in the SEC Championship game every 3 years. Now finishing in 2nd or 3rd place in the East is considered a success.

Fulmer should have never been fired, I was wrong and so was Volnation. UT played in Atlanta in 07', 04', and 01'. For all of his flaws he had UT competing for championships every few years. We have been absolutely dreadful since he left and the fans claiming it was the right decision are either too proud to admit they were wrong or are Mike Hamilton alternate accounts. I know the rest of the SEC is glad we fired him. We haven't sniffed Atlanta since then.

Fulmer was never going to get UT back to Atlanta. He was done. There’s a reason he didn’t get another coaching job, when he clearly stated he wanted to coach again after UT let him go.

There could be 6 of those losses this year if a few breaks fall against the Vols.

Fulmer was trending in the wrong direction badly and should have been canned however.

Not just Tajh Boyd, he also parted ways with Bryce Petty and Bo Wallace.

What an absolute joke.

This post is a new low even for this site.

Blaming posters for the last decade of futility like it's the damned posters suiting up on Saturdays, calling plays, or making the hiring and firing decisions.

The only thing that bought Fulmer a reprieve from a quicker exit was Cutcliffe having heart trouble and being forced to turn down ND.

He came back to the Vols and had a large hand in those seasons you referred to in 2006 and 2007.

Once Cutcliffe left again, the wheels, not surprisingly, came off the program again with no discipline and embarrassing losses to Bama and UF.

Your hero is back in the fold running the show so stop whining. Remains to be seen if he can still make a coaching hire on his own though.
