Offical Fire Randy Sanders thread

[vols2345]

I have not been one to rip on Randy Sanders, but now I have crossed the line. I know that freak hates these threads but I can not stand his offensive play calling anymore. If Fulmer refuses to fire this guy, then I say fulmer tenture at UT is going to end pretty quick. I can't see anyway he shouldn't be gone. If fulmer hurries up and fires him, maybe trooper can come in and get a good gameplan in the next two weeks.

 

[ULQQKED]

I'm hoping the heat is too much this year and Fulmer has to make changes. Not sure Trooper is ready to be an OC though.

 

[OWB]

If we get a new OC, we need to take applications this time and not just give it to whoever is standing around.

 

[vols2345]

Well all I know is two more losses like that with the talent we have and I say Fulmer can go as well. No reason we should have two losses with the talent level we have. I would be giving Norm Chow a call if I was the Athletic Director

We're starting to reach critical mass with the problems, but remember, our losses were to Florida and Georgia. No slouch teams. If we lose a third... Then yes, this season is completely done and Fulmer has officially screwed the pooch on the 2005 season.

Fulmer isn't going anywhere and so the best you can ask for is some position coach changes. Fulmer doesn't answer to Hamilton, imo.

It's not the losses, it's how we lost, imo. Not to mention the UAB and Ole Miss games didn't look too hot either. I feel sorry for our defense.

 

[milohimself]

Yep. Our defense is amazing, and it gets squandered... :shakehead:

This is an interesting thread. If we'd won the game, Sanders would have been fine, no talk of firing him. BUT, we lost...so everyone goes to blame the playcalling. I fail to see how throwing it away instead of to the open receiver, dropping one in the endzone, throwing it too high in the end zone, poor O-line blocking, and all around poor pass selection/execution has to do with the playcalling. It seems to me that the offense clicked pretty well and then all of a sudden fell apart right when we had a chance to turn the game around. Briscoe dropping that pass wasn't the play caller's fault, clausen getting creamed and fumbling wasn't either...that was poor execution of a tried and true game plan, that has worked, and still does work.

I know you aren't actually defending RS are you?

when was the last time he called a good game? i am just tired of watching all of this talent go down the drain. remeber when Casey was going into his junior year as a real heisman canidate!? You can thank RS for screwing him up and you are about to be able to thank him for ruining Ainge also.

 

[tvolsfan]

i am so tired of not beating weak teams by 35. 17 on uab who is supposedly weak on defense and ole miss was disgustigng. we scored 7 on florida and lsu was all luck. sanders must go.

we should have been shut out. the d did all the work on the first td drive. at the end there georgia wasnt trying it seemed. no one did care.

I dont remember Casey Clausen ever being a "real" Heisman "candidate"? Da'yum, I better take care of that #7 jersey! No wait, got it signed after the 03, SC, OT game. Last punt(Block By UT) i recall. Kind of stands out at this point.

if we get norm chow, it will be has head coahc because that is what he wants to do. he only took the oc for tenn titans becaue they are a pro team and he thinks its a big step. if we offered him hc he would come in a flash. if he were here, he had better not release chavis.

With all due respect, we have not had a game plan that has "worked" all year. SOMETIMES we are effective on our first offensive series. After that, it seems that no adjustments are forthcoming.

Right now our game plan seems to be play for a field goal and hope the defense holds the opposing team scoreless.

IMO we could lose the rest of the games this season and PF would not get fired... he has too much political capital to end up on the short side of the stick. The most we could hope for is for the pressure to fire RS would become so great that he would have to do it.

We would have to have 2 losing seasons under our belt before PF lost enough of his capital to get fired.

 

[Lexvol]

IMO a 7-4 season with this talent will lead to an OC change.

political capital? coaching capital? fan love? :blink:

*cough* Johnny Majors *cough*

Prepare to be 7-4 or 6-5 :banghead:

What about going deep when we only need 3 yards for a first down or throwing 3 yards when we need 10 to 20?

What about going for the endzone twice on 2nd and 6 and 3rd and 6 when we were driving and probably could have gotten another first down and turned it into first and goal?

The offense executing is part of the coaches responsibility as well.

 

[Rabidvol]

I apologize if this has been answered before...I don't remember seeing RC's credentials to coach on this level...as I recall he was placed in the position when Cutcliffe left us and I don't recall any type of recruitment for an OC! I don't think it is a coincidence that since 1999........fill in the blanks!

Ding ding ding! We have a winner. I personally don't think the playcalling was bad yesterday. It's the O-line underacheiving, poor pass selection by the QB, poor passing (at the goalline), stupid stupid STUPID penalties, special teams digging us insurmountable holes, fumbles, the list goes on. . . .

Not saying that the responsibility for the above doesn't fall back on the coaching, but to say that we lost because of playcalling is just plain silly.

 

[bleedorange4life]

i cant believe this. i have never really but didnt really want him fired. but after these last 5 games he needs to be gone by the end of the year.the redzone play calling has been ridiculous all year. another thing, who is our special teams coach? hes in some trouble himself.

 

[vols2345]

Randy Sanders just needs to go. Get rid of him now fulmer. Every play is just so predicatble. If Clausen is under center-it's a run... and if he's in the shot gun-it's a pass. It's been time to let him go, and after tonights game vs. Georgia... I don't think there is any Tennessee fan who will not agree with me. www.firerandysanders.com he needs to go. Get rid of him. We should be in the top 10 in offense and yet were are in the top 10 in worst offense. It's pathetic. We got a great running back and we refuse to use him right. We got two pretty good qb's that he has deystoryed, and are play calling is too vinillia. It's time for a change right now.

 

[VolsWinRLose]

Good land, I've been cussing RS for years now.
At this point, he could walk on water, and I'd still be howling for his head.

AMEN!!!!

 

[tvolsfan]

i think the only way i happens if we go like 7-4. then changes will be made.

i love winning but i would rather struggle this year and have rs gone then go 8-3, get crap froom rulmer about how we finished strong, and have rs screw our sec title hopes early in the season again before another 8-3 season.

dont get me wrong, i want to beat bama and nd.

but if we go 7-4 and fire rs, then i see us going 12-1 and 11-2 in years after with maybe some perfects.
