yea , when all the fans where mad at Fulmer because he could win 8-9 games a year and be in a SEC championship every 4 years so they fired a Hall of Fame coachYeah that's the ticket hire and fire your way to success. Well that's exactly what we have been doing since 2008. So how has that worked out for us so far?
He's here for a while for good or bad. By late in year 3 if we still hear the same things he's saying now and it's stuck in nuetral, then i am fine with cutting bait. He doesn't have the track history to give a 5, 6 year plan. Recruiting will make or break him. He wants to run Bama's system, well he better get the players here then. You can't disguise what he's doing all that much. It's physical, in your face football and you have to recruit badazzes for that style. Bama players. We may have 5 guys that would be on their practice squad. He's got a lot to do in a short window IMO. He's just not going to get the goodwill Botch enjoyed. People are sick of the coaching carousel we've been in. They have fatigue from it. It may just have to cycle around for him like it did for Kentucky. Hope it does before the fans are done with him. Most are short on patience these days and i really don't blame them. Vol football has one foot in the hasbeen coffin. Depending on what he does the next few years may stick the other foot in there.Yeah that's the ticket hire and fire your way to success. Well that's exactly what we have been doing since 2008.

That's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen on hereMight as well brace ourselves, Vanderbilt will beat us by at least 2 touchdowns this coming Saturday. Let's face it, we can't block and we can't tackle, which makes it difficult to win ANY football game. Auburn and KY were lucky wins. Our DB's , are slow and weak, and Shurmer will have a Heisman type day against them next week. Vandy's D line will knock Chryst out of the game and we'll end up playing either a true freshman QB or one that hasn't even taken a snap all year. Brace yourself, put your cup on, it's going to be ugly.
Yeah the last few classes of vol players have decimated every good record we have ever had. Congrats to those guys.Saw an article that says we've not lost to Vandy 3x in a row since 1926. This generation of Vols seems bound and determined to decimate all our "hasn't been done since..." records, so I don't know that I expect a whole lot this Saturday.
Not lucky, but neither are good teams despite their ridiculous rankings at the time. Kentucky squeaked by Middle Tennessee for goodness sakes. I am 53 years old, I never thought I would see the day when Vol fans would tout a win over Kentucky as "huge".That's one of the dumbest things I've ever seen on here
While I agree we’re short on personnel/talent at the OL position, we make way too many fundamental errors this late in the season. It certainly appears that the OL is very poorly coached since our guys still don’t seem to know who to block, or how to block them. At what point do we just look at Friend and say he’s done a really poor job of trying to cobble together a group of OLs and have them play well or at least improve somewhat/at all after a full season?Friend is not the issue. You can't take a knife to a gun fight!
