Its simple. the line has been drawn. Do you stand with the University of Tennessee or with Phil Fulmer?

I for one, am hoping that this is the end for Fulmer. His time has come, his time has gone. No matter what the excuses are...poor QB play, Running Banks not raising their elbows high enough, high definition television, gas prices, El Nino, whatever...the head coach is the constant in this equation: Phil Fulmer. And yes, I am ready for the "rebuilding" that so many here and other boards claim MUST happen if we get rid of Fulmer. I am ready for the 4-8 or 3-9 season under a new coach if it happens. Why? Because at least with the new coach...I have hope for the future. With Fulmer, I know that the best it will get, is an appearance in the SEC Championship game, IF THAT. I know that 8-4/9-3 can and just might happen, but it doesnt matter to me, because 10-2 and a BCS game or 11-1 and a legitimate shot at the big dance is out of the question. Im ready for the lean years, just hurry the hell up and give them to me.

I have no personal vendetta against Fulmer. I do not HATE him, and therefore want him gone. I want him gone because he cannot do the job up up to the level that the SEC has ascended to. It is over, so move the hell on. Now is not the time for those to rally behind Fulmer because he is a good ole Tennessee boy, or is honest to recruits, or we owe it to him...or anything else stupid like that. If you want to stand behind Fulmer, the CEO of a multi-million dollar enterprise, do it because you think he can get the job done.

I think he cannot, I think he will not and I think that the time has come to move in another direction. The diploma on my wall, the ring on my finger says "The University of Tennessee" not "The University of Fulmer, keep him because he is an honest, good ole boy, won us a championship 10 years ago, it aint his fault we aint gots enough black people to recruit in Tennessee...blah blah blah."

So choose up sides Vol fans and Fulmer fans, its going to be a bumpy ride.

There's no reason you can't be a fan of both . . . AND think that a coaching change is necessary.

After the 95% of you dont understand football, and the boos are coming from those with $5 bets lines...he is getting pretty hard to like on a personal level, I must admit.

I couldn't disagree with you more. I believe a change is necessary, but I am a fan of both.

That could change if Fulmer hangs around and continues to drive the program in the ground.

If he had actually said any of that, I would agree.

If he had said it, I would have taken him to task for it though. I think the number is only about 80%.:)

Perhaps not verbatim, but anyone who can read between the lines could see those were the points Fulmer was making.

How much more can you stand? We are pretty much in the ground as we speak? You have a high tolerance for pain my friend.

That is the real problem facing the fanbase today. The automatic assumption that people despise Fulmer just because they think he is replaceable is wrong.

While I do not deny that there are those among us that do.

The other false assumption is that all people resisting change blindly follow Fulmer. I am convinced that there are simply those who are more patient than others.

In other words he didn't say those things and you want him gone so you are assigning negative character traits to him to justify it in your mind.

That'll be $50.

“Ninety-five percent of them probably never played football before, or maybe not played a sport. I don’t know. "

Correct. Because you have to have played football to see that Crompton sucks as a QB. I guess that come from watching the tape.

I admire your willingness to cheer on the team no matter what. I cant say the same for myself. I expect more, Im not an Ole Miss fan.

So that's another vote from the "too scared to make a change" camp. Florida, Alabama, Ohio State, and many others are laughing at you.

By CPFs standards is Crompton qualified to sit in the stands and boo?

never heard that one before.

And how is this post any different than the ones started by CPF supporters? Gotta love being preached at

So your logic is we decide between cpf and the university? Silly.
Let me ask, what have YOU done for the university to be able to make such a statement.
Fulmer is and always will be a volunteer !
I have said he's earned the right to turn it around and if he doesn't then he'll be gone. Simple.
It's not up to you to ask fans to choose.
Not even close to being fair.
