Why Fulmer should be fired:
(1). Discipline on and off the field has grown very lax. Coach Cut. would probably 2nd that motion.
(2). Coach Pearl has exposed the weakness in the football staff that Coach Fulmer lacks the ability to inspire, motivate, and get his players to hustle.
(3). Coach Fulmer lacks the ability to make in - game adjustments. His abililty to change strategy and tatics is pretty limited.
(4). The better SEC coaches would tell you that in the 4th quarter, they can outcoach Fulmer and pull out a victory.
(5). The football typically plays down to the level of their opponents.
(6). In games where the opponent's talent level is equal or greater than the Vols, Fulmer lacks the ability to outcoach his opponent. (see #3).
(7). Given a month to prepare for a bowl game - there were no new offensive packages/plays (see #3).
