We're the same without Failure as we would be with Failure. Probably a couple of more wins, but ZERO championships.

I doubt it. But, that's only an opinion. I don't think we'd be knee deep in the depths of obscurity as we are now. But, time will tell. Clock is ticking and 5 years have passed and we are no better than then.

No way Fulmer beats Saban. Saban outcoached him in 2001 when Fulmer had the better team. 2nd place is as obscure as last place imo.

But, 2nd place keeps you in your job. No way to say what might have been and no way to predict what will be. Like many, I'd like to get back on the winning tract in my lifetime.

Even though bama was a freakin joke during Fulmer's tenure, at least he beat them. Johnny Walker Majors would've found a way to lose to them every year.

Part of the reason for Bama struggling was Fulmer, ability to lock up recruiting territory that Bama previously controlled. When Hamilton booted Fulmer, Tennessee also lost recruiting as well as a great coach. Saban, had already began his machine and Fulmer/Urban departure allowed the Saban machine to have unprecedented control of recruiting in the SEC.

Fulmer had nothing to do with Bama sucking.

Fulmorons are an intelligent bunch.

Okay, We are Fulmorons or Fulmerites, whatever. We have/had a coach. What the hell do you effin' idiots have? Kiffinites? Dooley's doofus'? Butch *****es? Your the reason why Tennessee has no identity now! Because of your INTELLIGENT decision to boot a Hall of Fame, National Champion coach.

Congrats!

Fulmer couldn't beat Fla. He lost to Vandy once and never lost to KY. I will ask this question AGAIN this year, since I have not received an answer from the years before. What good thing has happened since his dismissal? I'll prepare myself for smart ass answers, because thats all the haters have.

I'm afraid the answer is simple. He wasn't winning enough. Isn't that the same for all coaches?
GO VOLS!

Yep. Agree with letting Fulmer go but should have hired Cutcliff with Chavis for the defense. QB play is terrible.

Honestly, if you still think firing Fulmer was the right move then nothing will convince you. Each of the last 5 years has been on par with Fulmer's worst year.

I know. I know. You blame Fulmer for the last 5 years.

Fulmer took a #3 preseason team and still lost to Vandy

He was overrated at #3 because he was running a program where people expected him to win a lot every year. Yeah it was a disappointment, but I would trade anything to have the success of the Fulmer years right now. Even post 1998.

We've been treading water at .500 for 5 seasons. God, we had it good with Fulmer.
