I don’t think any coach (maybe) under the old administration could succeed.

It has been a deeper issue and hopefully one that having Fulmer as AD will fix.

Thay's the very reason we never made a decent hire. Any coach worth a grain of salt knew better than to walk into this mess. Perhaps we can move on now. Ticket sales are down now and I haven't heard much about that renovation lately. The coaching fraternity does look after one another in a sense that they talk honestly behind closed doors. We sank so low no way to go but up. Still gonna take some time. Like to see CJP retire here.

This is obviously a joke, but DD was lazy. He was a poor coach and recruiter. Seems as if he had one class where he signed 0 o linemen.

The only thing more comical than the Kiffin hire was the DD hire

He got beat by a very bad Kentucky team that was playing a WR at QB.

No thanks!


SMDH!!!!

You do remember that WR was a converted QB? We've had at least one of those lately. I'm thinking Jauan Jennings if forced to convert back to QB might ruin somebody's day.

I guess it just took them 25 years to figure out that plan for success.

We've historically not done well against replacement QBs. But then I've always thought that replacement QBs tend to make the rest of the team really play like a team - ours really rallied around Daryl Dickey.

Jim Chaney was DDs OC, and we had Kiffin to thank for that, Mike Deboard was OC when Tn set the scoring record.

Dooley sucked

Guys, I want you all to just hear me out as this opening line may shock you. If Derek Dooley never would have been fired Tennessee would be a perennial powerhouse with at least two national championships under his regime right now. Some of you may wonder what brand of meth I am on. I assure you its nothing but good ole oxygen and water in this body. Let me at least cite 1-2 of the many reasons why this is a fact. If Derek Dooley was never fired we would have been scoring with the best of teams in the SEC. Just look at what Missouri has been doing since he took the OC position there. Meaning we would have never seen the likes of Mike Deboard or Tyson Helton. That alone is worth a few wins in itself. We would have also had stability and discipline. Derek Dooley was a hardnose, smashmouth coach who didn't take crap from anyone. He made the players learn everything from shower techniques to proper alignment on the field. The program was trending in an upward direction as Dooley hit the dusty trail. Butch didn't inherit a mess. Butch inherited a team of well rounded athletes that were prime for a title run and pissed it away. Derek Dooley catches a lot of heat for the time he spent here. I am here to say that was unjust and we should be apologetic to him. Derek Dooley, I appreciate your greatness and the amazing things you did during your tenure at Tennessee.
