Why Fulmer's not leaving

[vol_in_ar]

or wishful thinking

No not really. Fulmer has managed to lose his team yet again. It seems to happen every few years. 2002 he lost the lockerroom. 2005 he did the same. Now we have 2007. Hamilton is not stupid. Fulmer is done

In case you missed it, the Cal team that set us on fire lost to UCLA yesterday.

who knows whether that was the same cal team? those pac-10 teams are unpredictable as hell.

 

[thagodfather]

It's still better than playing them on the road

does that mean that we lose in a closer game?

 

[Vols4life]

who's coaching the team that 10-2 though?

Fulmer with a new D-coordinator :rock:

 

[RENFRO2448]

Fair point...but we've got 10 months to "work like heck" and dedicate ourselves to "getting more physical" and "getting back to playin' Tennessee football." So, no worries.

we have been saying this same thing for the last 5 years!always next year! i personally am tired of hearing next year! time is now..so get it done

 

[volwindy]

Well I have to say this schedule(2008) is slightly better than 2009. The schedule from the start is hard, and well to get out of Oct, alive will be a miracle.

Sept. 12 UCLA Knoxville
Sept. 19 Florida* Gainesville
Sept. 26 Ohio Knoxville
Oct. 3 Auburn* Knoxville
Oct. 10 Georgia* Knoxville
Oct. 24 Alabama* Tuscaloosa
Oct. 31 South Carolina* Knoxville

6-6 next year with the same staff.

 

[SMASH MOUTH FOOTBALL]

LOL!My hometown paper had the front page sports with a pic of Fulmer scratching his head,tells the whole story about this season he doesnt even have a clue!

 

[erob3833]

i'll be there for the NIU game. probably the only person there a fan of the vols and niu. i'm a fan of niu cause i go there.

Phil is not going anywhere. But, I do hope replaces Chavis and the whole defensive staff.

Phils not going anywhere? :cray::cray::cray:

 

[TNwoozie]

The coaching staff sucks. They cant even get players up for the Bama game, but I dont think it gets any better by getting rid of chavis. Tn just doesnt have the players on defense. The only good ones are too young. And on offense they refuse to put the playmakers on the field . They have a QB that can throw, receivers that can catch (sometimes) and all they do is throw the ball in the flat to a tailback that I can outrun.

Fulmer will leave when Hamilton hears the Thunder! Only then!

He should get rid of Slade, or D-back play has been horrible.

 

[General_Neyland]

Look at our '08 schedule
Why would he leave when the schedule get's remarkable easier next year:

Aug. 30 UAB Knoxville
Sept. 6 at UCLA Pasedena
Sept. 20 Florida Knoxville
Sept. 27 at Auburn Auburn
Oct. 4 Northern Illinios Knoxville
Oct. 11 at Georgia Athens
Oct. 18 Mississippi State Knoxville
Oct. 25 Alabama Knoxville
Nov. 1 at South Carolina Columbia
Nov. 8 Wyoming Knoxville
Nov. 22 at Vanderbilt Nashville
Nov. 29 Kentucky Knoxville
Dec. 6 SEC Championship Atlanta

We have basically been saying something similar to this for the last 5 years...."we will be good next year", "we will beat Florida", Etc...etc....etc...and guesss what we havent

Yeah the coaching overhaul at FSU has worked miracles...........we don't need a can of stop leak......we need new plumbing!

Offense is scoring an average of 30+ a game.

We can't stop anyone..

 

[flashoforange]

We get Bama and Florida at home that alone makes it easier.

It will just make it easier to get to the stadium and watch them lose :banghead2:

"We are young in spots"

 

[WA_Vol]

UT trades Arkansas for Auburn and Cal for UCLA. Not easier IMO.

 

[VolsZealot]

yeah UCLA got beat by ND which is almost laughable. (almost) however they were playing with the 3rd string QB. (a walk on freshman) .. ND still only scored 20 points with 7 UCLA turnovers. How well would we do in the same sitaution?

 

[NationofVols]

In case you missed it, the Cal team that set us on fire lost to UCLA yesterday.

In case you missed it, UCLA lost to Notre Dame the week before and to Utah by 38.

and who did they score that on? offense has done sqaut when it mattered!

 

[NationofVols]

We also aren't the only team that is going to be losing our QB and/or other important players. That doesn't mean we're going to win any of those games, but it's way too early for that.
