Fulmers tv show

[GoTide]

The sooner Fulmer steps up and blames player mistakes on his own coaching the sooner he can upright the ship.

He's so busy covering his own tail, he obviously doesn't want to take all responsibility.

During his Sunday tv show, he was pointing out how players were doing this wrong, that wrong, and naming names.

Then he has the audacity to point out how close UT has been to "perfection". Give me a break.

Now, UT is a good team, no doubt, and a team with great athletes all over the place. The head coach should not point out faults with his players on his tv show.

I can remember the old Bear Bryant Show, when Bryant would say "it's all my fault", and he would say it repeatedly. I don't ever remember Bryant talking about how a player missed an assignment.

And how many Vol players have been arrested within the last 5 years? If Fulmer would have been as worried about taking personal responsibility for X's and O's as he has been about making sure his players were exonerated UT wouldn't be in this mess today.

I believe Fulmer will get this ship uprighted, if, and only if, he starts taking 100% of the blame for everything going wrong with UT football.

He should be given another year to get his stuff together, and if he can't do it, out with him.

The Logan Young mess took it's toll on Fulmer, and therefore UT. Sure, Logan was guilty, and some on the Bama staff knew of his dealings, but Fulmer went the extra mile with that, trying to take Alabama down.

What goes around comes around. That's just the way it is.

GoTide-

you will probably get flamed to hell and back for that comment but you are right. When coaches blame players for loosing games -ie Spurrier in his last years, Les Miles, Jon Calipari - it all starts to slide downhill.

Logan Young was and is a crook. Phillip Fulmer did not make him do anything he did. You Bammers need to get over the fact that there was serious cheating going on and you got caught!

With that being said I am in favor of a coaching staff change in Knoxville. RS took the fall yesterday for the head coach IMO!

Lecturing on how to run a program from a Bama fan? PUH-LEASE.

Bama accomplishments since the Bear:

at least 7 different coaches
2 major probations
numerous conspiracy theories
2 or 3 losing seasons
at least one attempted murder (father and son) :biggrin2:

all the result of insanely high fan expectations


Seriously, comment all you want about x's and o's but when you start down your Karma/conspiracy (LY and UThug crap) path all you'll get are
:snoring: :snoring: :snoring:

 

[volunteer04]

And before every season Bear would say that he would be lucky to go .500
All I heard out of Fulmer was how good they were before the season.

Are we seriously comparing Fulmer to coaches that coached 25 years ago?

Okay please compare and contrast Fulmer to the following:

General Neyland
Knute Rockne
Vince Lombardi
Chuck Knoll
Tom Landry
Etc., etc.

Give me a freakin break people :blink:

Fulmer couldn't wash these coaches jocks!

Like I have said before and have taken the heat for. WE AR E NOT VERY GOOD, and will not be one of the storied programs of the NCAA, and that is OK. Just represent UT well, and get rid of all the thugs, and have some freakin discipline! :banghead:

 

[JennVols]

Bama fans should worry about their own team and hope that they don't get caught cheating again.

I read a quote by Bear Bryant about 10 years ago that has stuck with me. He basically said his philosophy was whenever they lost a game the coach has lost the game for his players, yet whenever they won a game the players had won the game, not the coach. He said thats how you get players to win for you. Its really a true statement about the nature of motivation, and getting players committed to you to give their best.

A lot of people talk about what a good guy Fulmer is. But there was a lot talk at one time that Fulmer had a hand in getting Majors fired and taking over as head coach.

Majors also fired a lot of assistant coaches. But Majors gave his assistants more freedom to run things how they wanted. It was their responsiblity and they had to answer for it. Fulmer by most accounts has not allowed Sanders a free hand. Yet all Fulmer could say is, its not one person's fault. That is weak.

Majors fired assistants to cover his own butt, and Fulmer is doing the same thing. A lot of coaches do this. But its usually only a delaying tactic, and only postpone the inevitable. Eventually Fulmer wont have anyone else to blame but himself.

We have lost some games but it wasn't because of any of that mess. I know that you would like to think so since it's about the only revenge you can see in sight, but it's just not so. I know that you could claim beating us this year as revenge, but come on, we're not that good and you only beat us by 3. To me, that game should have a (*) beside just like 2002. :biggrin2:

With that said, I'm shocked that an Alabama fan would want Fulmer gone. Imagine that.

Well obviously you missed my point - if you are going to compare Fulmer to coaches, try to pick one that's coached within the last 25 years!

No doubt that the Bear was great but he wasn't dealing with this issues that coaches deal with today. (Please no dissertation on how the Bear would be just as good today - it's not relevant).

I'm not defending Fulmer just requesting that we pick more relevant benchmarks.

He sure did go the extra mile and you Bammers can't yet get over the fact that you have been internationally exposed as the scamming scumbags that you are. And look up above, still talking about the Bear, one of the original cheaters extraordinaire still singing his praises even though he drank and smoked himself to an early grave. The most overjoyed person was Satan himself as he opened the door wide to the Gates Of Burning Hell. Bear BBQ, yummmm.

What came around is exactly what you deserved, a decade of turmoil and defeat at our hands.

And to top it all off, your program bit the dust over an obese, slim talented idiot named Albert Means.

Good job, Bammer Scammer !!!!!
