The point that a few are missing on here is that he thinks we will make a bowl and could win 8 games.

This isn't Joe Football on Volnation saying this....it's Fulmer.

We may actually shock some people this year.

Either he is impressed with the team this year, or setting up the follow-up after the season: "Well, I could have won 8 wins with that team..."

Not sure how to read Fulmer. Hopefully, we win 8 or more wins and Coach Fulmer is in our program again some day.

You bet he does! I52-52 , NC, 2 sec champs, 15 bowls, 8 consensus All-Americans, won every coaching award '98 and HOF. He earned that $5M buy out, don't think dooley earned his'un.

He did not earn $5mil to go away

edit: $5mil to leave in 2005 would have been fine by me, but the trainwreck of his last years cancelled that

2 great players and a couple good players surrounded by garbage doesn't make a great team

6 drafted overall... 2 first rounders.... And I could hardly call the rest of the squad garbage especially after watching the product for the last 4 years.

09 had 2 future NFLers as returning members on defense, 1 DB and 1 DT

That's a garbage roster in the SEC

I wonder how many did he predict at the start of the '05 season

Speaking of defense, We can also thank Kiffin for running off the best defensive coordinator in college football.

John Chavis is a great defensive coach if you don't ever have to set up a defense against 3rd and Long

Also, nobody hung 50 on us in 09

I've yet to see anyone called crazy for predicting a 6-6 bowl appearance.

My expectation is 5-7 with 6-6 being definitely possible. If we stay impressively healthy and an unexpected injury happens to another team (like a Gurley injury, etc.), then that might move us to 7-5 as a prediction

LOL.

Forgive the slightly OT post. But, to be honest, I'd much rather be in the stadium with the 'general population'. I've been to a few games inside the sky boxes. There are some pluses and minuses.

Pluses:
- Quick, easy access to restrooms
- Excellent catering
- Closed circuit TV
- Protection from the elements

One very big minus:
- It's a sterile environment. There is one tiny window that can be opened. When you're in a sky box, you just don't feel like you're part of the crowd. It's like you're removed from the gameday experience. You can scream all you want, but it doesn't make a difference.

I will take tix with the general population over a sky box any day.

Fulmer haters will make their jokes and say how bad of a coach he was in the later years. Yet here we are on 8/25/14 and to this date still no better off than in 2008. Hopefully Butch Jones will get the Vols over the hump.

He didn't seem to have much faith in Kiffin or Dooley.

Didn't like Kiffin (for obvious reasons) and like most with at least a passing knowledge knew Dooley sucked when he walked in the door.

Jones walked in with a different attitude toward the history of Tennessee Football and that went a long way with a lot of people that mattered. That buys you time to build the program back with those people. Dooley was pretty much the exact opposite and Kiffin didn't matter in that regard because he wasn't here long enough to.

There are Kiffin defenders here?! LMAO!

I don't think Phil has ever said anything that any UT fan should be upset about. But even if he did, so what? He can say whatever he wants. He's earned that right. There aren't too many who have, but he is one of them.

one coach had a winning record in the last 6 years, and he inherited the worst QB situation and O-Line situation of all of them

You realize you are defending a coach who has failed in every head coaching job he has had. Let's not forget that he had the best roster UT has had in the last 5 years. I'm just glad he landed at UA this year. We just might have a chance to win now that Saban has a cancer on his staff. The Auburn game, the Oklahoma game, and the hiring of Lane Kiffin are the first signs of Saban making bad coaching decisions. His ego is starting to cost him on the field.

You do know that 7-6 is not a losing record, right?
