i think it is time for him to go.
I have supported CPF win or lose but last night really showed me that he had no plan at all. Are we to believe that Arky has a better D than LSU? i think not. yeah numbers dont lie lets look at what the man has done since 2000. Whats so wrong about wanting a change? the game has obviously passed him by.
Anyone who even thinks this should be banned. You have got to be kidding me. Why can't you just understand we are not going to be perfect every game or even every season? It hasn't been that long ago, that we were all saying what a great job he has done with the defense.
Let's just get over it and enjoy that we are heads and tails above last year and be thankful.
So for who ever starts any dumb .com about any of our coaches...GO FIND YOU ANOTHER TEAM!!
Think about it though man, we played on the road....We didn't have a choice if Ainge wasn't healthy enough to go then he wasn't going to....We knew that going into last night.....We also knew it wasn't going to be easy....No, I didn't expect to get blown out but it's going to happen especially when you play as poorly as we did as a team....This late in the season, it's not coaching...It's how bad the boys want it, the coach's have done all they can for now....I think a lot of it had to do with last night, that our boys went out and felt like they didn't have anything to play forexactly. It would be one thing if arky wore our D out and then took us to the woodshed. Chavis's boys looked like they had never even heard a word about McFadden. Not to mention how sloppy our O played. Crompton was scared to death the entire first half

I agree with some of that but to an extent do you not think that alot of being motivated has to come from the players? I mean they have to want it to win, not go out there thinking they can just go through the motions and win...Crompton looked like a 4 year old lost in Wal-Mart last night on that field....I kept waiting to see Ainge but it nevere happenedno way. You can coach teams throughout. Other teams come up with different defensive schemes to stop teams they dont' see until November. Chavis changed nothing about our D and evidently just crossed his fingers and it got us nowhere. There is no reason UT should ever get embarassed to start out a half like that. crompton played fine last week and was a completely different person. They didn't have him prepared at all and it is a coach's job to make sure you want it. I never really saw the defense faces, but i'll admit crompton looked like he was just out there to be out there... again though, motivation comes back to your coaches
you have no right to tell me to find another team. i'm lookign at facts. chavis's bend but don't break routine has gotten us burned in more big games than I care to remember. I'll wear my orange w/ pride today, but I have every right to make and express my opinions of when a coach's time is up. Do you want to just rot away to consistent 8-4, 7-5, 6-6 seasons? i sure don't
...Crompton looked like a 4 year old lost in Wal-Mart last night on that field....I kept waiting to see Ainge but it nevere happened
I have ever right to tell anyone what I think. I have been a VOL follower for 43 years now and I can just about talk any year and the problems of those teams. So do I have the right to tell you? You darn right I do, just as you have the right to say what you say. The only difference is, your knowledge level of what a Coach brings to the table, still needs several years of learning. So you want to fire a coach, put you a poll up here and see which side is with you, and while youre at it, who would YOU suggest is better?
That's how it looked last night, but what are we going to when Ainge is gone and he's what we've got? The boy has to learn sometime though, and just like 2004, we're going to take our lumps starting a freshman QB on the road....Yeah, we didn't get blown out by much of anyone in 2004(with the exception of one of the Auburn games)but we took them then..We'll have to learn to take them when we have a Freshman starter....Yeah he's started 1 game and played most but that's not enough experience to just go out and hand him the ball and say "Give 'em hell son"I couldn't of said that better, and fulmer and CUT should've seen that thursday and friday and made some changes but didn't. I understand we'll get some spankings from time to time, but we had nothing going for us that first half. maybe the coaches plan just failed. But you can't wait until the second half to "adjust". The coaches have to start adjusting on the fly.
ooooh, you have 20 more years of experience on being a vol fan whoop di doo. if you read my posts, i'm saying the seats are getting warm, I'm not ready to fire anyone yet. There's several people out there that can come up with defensive schemes. what a stupid post. i'm older i know more....

I still don't think that's enough to fire Fulmer though.....Especially after last year....Yea, I know, that's been used a lot this year "compared to last year" but man I'm happy with this year after the way things went last year, I'm glad to finally be on the giving end of some of these wins....Not receiving them....When Ainge is healthy we have one of the best offenses in the country and we can put up points....It seems like this year our Offense has swapped rolls with our Defense in the sense of they're keeping us in the game most of the time and keep us close enough to win it but the other side of the ball thinks that's good enough, they should have learned against Florida and LSU....Granted last night the offense didn't do much to keep us in the game, we just got outplayed the whole night, Arky wanted it more than we didyou're exactly right.. and that's evidently what the coaches did this week. They didn't prepare him, plain and simple. they just said "Give 'em hell son"
