Soooo, his time was up with you in 2003?

I'm not saying he should be gone already or after this season, BUT 3 years from NOW? C'mon.


Almost the entire coaching staff has changed. I would give him three years AT LEAST to get the program back to 10 wins. If he cant win 10 in three years, I would say it's time for him to step aside.

I don't require National Titles every year. I don't require a trip to Atlanta every year.

In this conference, in this division, if Tennessee can win 10 games every year, and go play for the SEC every couple of seasons, I am a happy fan.

If they win the SEC, and they win the NC, then I'm on cloud nine.

I know that's different than some, probably most. But that is where my expectations are. If Tennessee ever goes three consecutive years without winning 10 games (with a 12 game regualr season and atleast a bowl game) then I will want whoever the coach is, to move along.

Basically, most of our coaching staff wasn't around the last time UT had a truly capable special teams corp.
True, but Fulmer played when George Cafego coached the special teams. He was also a Johnny Majors assistant during Cafego's latter years.

One of the teams on which Fulmer played featured All American Bobby Majors. One of the things that made Majors an All American player was returning punts for touchdowns.

John Chavis also played during Cafego's heyday. Chavis played during the latter days of the Bill Battle era when UT's football program was declining. I don't remember any complaints about special teams play then. Bill Battle was fired. Cafego stayed.

No one knows what it looks like, much less how to coach it, so we're learning and experimenting.
I disagree.

Fulmer played under Cafego. He knows exactly how special teams need to be coached.

Chavis also knows how special teams need to be coached. Since Fulmer is the head coach it's his responsibility.

Its all a matter of priorities. When Fulmer puts enough emphasis and attention on special teams then there will be results.

I have no problem with numerous coaches. On defense you have a DE coach, a DT coach, a LB coach, and a Secondary coach. Thats 4 coaches on defense alone.

On the offense you have a OL coach, RB coach, WR coach, QB coach, and a TE coach. 5 coaches involved. If they want to put numerous coaches on special teams, coaching different positions, to me it should help not hurt.

Same philosophy on offense and defense, one coach coaching 3 or 4 players but all of them coaching the collective team. It works fine. If you want to make an argument for a special teams coordinator, but having more coaches involved shouldn't hurt it should help.
