This is a dark day for UT Football. Some of you people have no idea what has happened today and the fallout will last a few years. I have tried to support CPF but today or yesterday or whatever day it was that he did not offer our OC to CTT, is the day I found that he didn't have the future of this program as his priority. Our program lost today and not a football game. We lost a good coach, a good recruiter, a coach the players could look up to and know he could relate to them, not to mention he is a good human being.

Today because CPF was afraid to make a decision, we lost.

Good luck Coach Trooper Taylor

You are Kidding right.... Putting all this on CPF... and No Blame goes to the beloved TT....TT was evidently was not ready to take the OC Position on his own... If he turned down the OC position (his and only his) at Baylor (His alma mater) to take a Co OC at OK State... Why should we have faith in him if he doesn't have Faith in himself to be the UT OC.... I look at this very strangely.. He pulled his hat out of the ring and could not wait for the decision from Fulmer.... Bottom Line:: If he did not think he was capable of the job at Baylor as the sole coordinater then why was he warranted the UT OC job... Does recruiting the player on the Team make you more qualified for some reason....Why did he not take the job at Baylor vs OK State??? Money? Chance to Grow? Better Fit? OK State vs Baylor Program? Is it important only if we blame CPF...otherwise it is a Moot point

For the life of me why does it, for some anyway, seem necessary to denigrate what someone has accomplished (good position coaching and recruiting) just to try to make the arguement that another position (OC) might be over a guys head? Trooper wants to advance in his profession and would have loved to have gotten a shot at OC here. Most, including the UT braintrust, just didn't think he was ready for that. Trooper was offered, and accepted, a path in that direction to pursue elsewhere. I have viable confirmation of absolutely NOTHING other than the above occurring.

Where is the vitriol coming from?

It's kind of like when a very attractive lady gets older, uglier and fatter. She can get a makeover that's decent, but she's still not what she was.

She is awesome. My wife and I watched a lot of poker back when she was the WPT girl. My wife's nickname for her was not very nice, but she is fine.

Edit: I rhymed with Poker door.

Hilarious.

I think she's married to that dweeb Van Patten. But if she were ever single, I'd take her to Shoney's.

I don't care how adamant a supporter you are of our current coaches, it is difficult to argue that a shake-up is necessarily a bad thing. Like Trooper or not, he was a position coach. There are lots of capable candidates to replace him. This is an opportunity to upgrade several position coaches and bring new blood into the co-ordinator's spot. The posts are going to be highly desirable for a slew of talented candidates.

as far as hiring replacements, I don't understand the need to hire the position coaches now. Find the right OC and let him help choose the position coaches. I don't care if it means I do have to wait a month. I can wait. I can even suffer through one lackluster recruiting season. Just get the right guy(s).

That may be true across fans, but there's probably no way to establish a lower bar for expectations of wide recievers than the one these guys had. So, I suppose, yes they exceeded the dismal expectations I had for them.

Who didn't meet my expectations? Whoever failed to use the young frosh earlier and more often to replace them, but I think that problem officially has been solved.

I hope you're not referring to Trooper Taylor there. That is indicative of Fulmer all the way. Remember Jamal's freshman year, when he didn't start against UF because "he didn't know the blocking schemes" and we started Mark Levine?? We beat the Gators easily if Jamal had played. Funny thing, he must have learned the blocking schemes by the UGA game, when he torched them like he would have UF.

Really? So we didn't have 2 backs go over 1k yards under Trooper? Meachem, Smith, and Swain didn't make remarkable progress under him? He made a 3rd receiver at best in Lucas Taylor into a 1k yard receiver.

Yea, he sucked all right. I hate to see a coach with enthusiasm and fire in his belly on the sidelines that fires the players up. Instead, we have stoic pot bellies over there, and the only fire in their bellies comes from the 12 roast beefs they gorged prior to the game.

Liquor in the front, poker in the rear.

He sure taught his backs to hold onto the ball. Instead of chest bumping technique, how about a good technique holding onto the ball. You give him credit for the 1000 yard stats then he needs credit for the crucial fumbles through the end zone that cost the vols a win at Bama and SC in 2005.

He wont be missed.

what happened to the rumor Kippy wanted to get close to his son and was willing to take a pay cut?

plus the fact that he's probably willing to pay to get out of Detroit ( a terminal city on life support).

In my job I talk with potential employees from Michigan on a daily basis. All of them site the reason for relocation as simply "Michigan is dying, last one out turn off the lights".
