As a Vol fan, I can't stand this guy. He is an opportunistic prick and his heart was NEVER in the SEC. It makes me sick that there are those of you still talking smack about Fulmer and worshiping this traitor Kiffin. I wanna win just as much as everyone else and I want an NC so bad I can't stand it HOWEVER you simply can't deny Fulmer's love of the game, the university and the respect his players had for him. He's a true Vol through and through and I think he deserves some respect. As for Dooley, I have no idea what to say. I think gun shy is an accurate description of most fans. But he's our coach, he's who we've got so GET ON BOARD OR Shut off! Good God, y'all sound like a bunch of dixie chicks... ever hear of loyalty? :aggressive:
I sometimes wonder what would of happened if Fulmer and Clausen were still here....we had kept the recruits they were building including that QB Tajh Boyd to trully run the spread.....would it have gotten worse, stayed the same, or gotten better? I guess we'll never know now.
Except that Fulmer was going to fire Clawson had he been retained.This.
We will never know. Instead we went with a really, really bad experiment, that really, really backfired. The only thing that can make it right now is if Dooley really is a younger version of his mentor Saban (and I hope like heck he is).

You've said something like this a couple of times. I didn't know if you thought Clawson would jump ship, or if Fulmer would fire him.
It seems out of character for Fulmer. I would have thought most of the anti-Fulmer crowd would applaud such a move as loyalty was a weakness in their eyes.
Has Fulmer say that's what he intended to do? Just wondering what gives you the notion he would?
kpt, How do you know he was doing good for this program? He was 7-6! Just think if Fulmer was not fired Tennessee would have probably beaten Wyoming and he might have finished 7-6. All you Kiffin lovers are using a LOSS to Florida and a LOSS to Alabama to anoint Kiffin as great. Don't forget the LOSS at HOME to a mediocre UCLA!!! He LOST at home to a so so Auburn team that ran a trickplay backyard offense. Kentucky was a struggle. Ole Miss made UT look like a cellar team. And VaTech toyed with UT. Monte the great moved the defense from No.3 in the nation to No. 22. Kiffin is a disaster waiting to happen. He screamed constantly about the lack of talent at UT. Let's see 6 NFL draft choices a top 10 recruiting class and he still had a 7-6 record. His mouth gets old. After 3 or 4 years players, coaches and fans will be sick of his crap!!! He will have token success at USC. USC, Texas, and Florida are the easiest jobs in the nation. You can recruit from your backyard with a megaphone and get a top 5 class. He is a loser. His experience and record is below Dooley's. Wake up and read the facts honestly!!I would go with "action". Other than leaving at the absolute worst possible moment, he was doing a lot of good for the program.
