Who killed Tennessee football ?

Any fan (bandwagon or not) that cried for Fulmer to go. Next, Hamilton and whatever fathead booster he answers to, for firing Fulmer.

Everything else after 2008 is just fallout from one wrong decision.

Hey Gramps. Hope all is well with you.

You are wrong again. The reason VN and all Vol fans are upset comes from CPF's success. We were spoiled by his dominance.

Hey your wrong and he is right.... But dosent really matter now. We are the laughing stock of all of college football. Dooley who is a genuinely nice fellow and grew up in the grandeur of what SEC football Saturdays are all about ,thought he could restore us to the top again. But jumped in to a fire and now is burned so bad, he actually going to have a hard time getting work for at least a season maybe two! I'm not drinking the Doolade... Just tapping out the truthfulness that has seemed to take a few on here along time to come to grips with. It's a sad day when play an out of conference team and not only almost lose to them but invite them in to our house and pay them to play us and let them hang around for four quarters and the last few minutes of the game! Truly shameful!

BS! Fulmer got lazy, let recruiting slide, didn't up grade his coaching staff. There is reason you change coaches, he wasn't winning. If he was winning he would still be the coach. You can't fire someone who is getting done. Dolley not getting done either.

I was a crazed UT fan and it probably peeked (I hate to say it) when Kiffin and crew took the field. The hype , whatever you want to call it was at its highest point seen in years. I was a paid member on Rivals and it was all UT hype.
I never look at Vol recruiting and recruits don't either !
People ask me "what time y'all play" , I never know !
I'm not even watching the game today !!! It just hit me when I saw a post on Facebook that UT was getting beat. I've lost my Vol mojo .
I'm not posting to hire,fire or trade . How is it possible for such a crazed maniac fan as I was through the late 90's to 2009 suddenly not give a damn?
Sad really . I love the Big Orange regardless , but I need that hype back. The expectation that briefly graced Neyland Stadium this year when Florida came to the hill .
P.S , The OL,WR,QB and entire defense is poorly coached . Those players on offense could play anywhere ! That is all

Step 5 of the 5 stages of grief = Acceptance. You're there. As are many other fans.

You are both wrong. How has replacing him worked out so far?

oh really? Tajh Boyd's offense lead Clemson to the ACC championship last year. And John Chavis's defense lead LSU to the SEC championship last year.

Multiple parties responsible for attempted murder:

Fulmer...for buying into the "8 wins is good enough" mentality.

Hammy...for believing it.

Kiffin...for the NCAA trouble and undermining the program in the hours after accepting the USC job.

Dooley...for failure to understand WAC-level defenses generally do not achieve SEC-level results.

Cheek and Hart...for trying to keep one of the killers around for another attempt at finishing the job started years ago when Fulmer first lowered his expectations.

Prolly the most accurate post in this thread. Lots of blame to go around. UT wasn't "killed" by one executioner. It was a firing squad, gradually using pee shooters over time.
