Thanks for the reminder!

Uhh…thanks?

No problem we are 23 years into this millennium now hard to believe isn’t it? I wanted to dig up some stats to see where our football was at in wins and losses in comparison to the 20th century where we really excelled at a high level for the most part. Our football team has def been up and down this century especially post 2005 but I think things are finally getting stabilized and headed into the right direction thanks in part to Captain Heupel leading us now.

Who was the coach for those highlighted, in the above?

Hint: should have been given a sabbatical and not fired!

He should’ve never hired Dave Clawson that did him in along with two losing seasons in his last 4 years coaching and his recruiting falling off. But hey he is still the last coach to win a SEC and national title here.

From 1925-2010 UT was the winningest CFP in the country. But unfortunately that doesn’t mean squat this season!

I thought it was Michigan

there was other coaches he preferred but Hamilton wouldn't give him the money..

What is the significance of that time period? For example, I've seen people track the SEC era (1933-present), the AP poll era (1936-present), before & after total integration (in 1972) and before & after the SEC split into divisions (in 1992), was wondering if that period had some significance other than starting the year before Neyland and ending Dooley's first year.

EDIT:
Looks like we were 4th winningest in that time period, but had the 2nd most wins (behind OU).

I think he was the biggest problem and reason for our downfall.

. Your right about that. Mike Hamilton let the football program go down.

Yep, let's deflect the blame away from THFC. SMDH

I didn’t deflect from Fulmer. I said he was the single biggest reason for the demise of our football program. He fumbled every major decision. Our athletic department suffered under his watch as well.

Are you saying Hamilton was the single biggest reason for the demise of the football program? Of course, there really wasn't a "demise"

I would say that it was time for a change when Fulmer was fired. I think he had grown complacent, and with the addition of Saban and Meyer in the league things were not looking good. I also think that from the moment Hamilton made that decision and probably even before that decision, everything he touched went to hell. So yeah, firing Fulmer, hiring an incredibly immature guy, and then panicking when Kiffin left and hiring a completely unqualified coach sent us into a tailspin that could’ve been avoided.

I'm not sure firing Fulmer, along with the subsequent hires, were unilateral decisions of Hamilton

Yep. Agreed.

It is possible to cherry pick the years so that the Vols are #1 (one example: 1926-2001, see below), but that's all it is, cherry picking.

Which is just what the OP did (and that, I think, was @tennesseeduke 's main point). There is no football significance to the start of the millennium. Other than the first twenty years of the new century including the WORST dark ages of our program's history. Which makes this an awkward thread to start in a Vols fan forum, and may lead some to conclude the OP is a shill of some other program just trying to create angst.

It is enough to say that we are one of the ten winningest programs in the history of American football. That, and how we did last season, and how we're doing this season are really the only three pertinent questions of this nature.

Go Vols!

I know for a fact, a fact, that Mike Hamilton single handedly kept us from hiring Cut because he wanted to make sure Kippie Brown was kept on as WR coach and wouldn’t let Cut bring his guy. Ironically, both wide receiver coaches ended up in the NFL, even more ironically, Kippie coached under Pete Carrol at Seattle.
