took fulmer 5.5 seasons to win the east. and He walked into a much better situation, better UT and worse SEC.

True. But CBJ's tendency to inexplicably drop a game or two he shouldn't or snatch defeat from the jaws of victory are troubling. Lack of prep, unlucky, bad game day caoch...Not sure and doesnt matter; we cannot continue that trend.

How many times did Fulmer and Manning have a lead against Florida going into halftime?

The Notre Dame game where Fulmer decides to run a play at the end of the first half (as opposed to taking a knee) and Eric Ainge gets trucked and injures his shoulder.

CBJ isn't alone when it comes to either blowing a lead or getting out coached in the second half.

you mean the trend of getting back to Tennessee's historical standard?

People act like before Fulmer got fired we were Bama under Saban. but really we are right in between 9-4 and 10-3. Fulmer won the east 6 of 16 years, without including his first partial. but 4 of those came after his NC run.

I agree to a degree, MG.

Am i wrong in thinking it is happening more frequently with CBJ?

True. I still want CBJ to be better or I wanna find someone who is.

As long as Saban is in SEC, our ceiling is capped, tbh.

It tends to be forgotten that Fulmer was seen as the bad guy after Majors' firing up until he won the NC. Jones not only has to compete against Saban and the Gators, but he has to compete against the ghosts of the past and a fickle fanbase armed with social media.

Yes.

"3rd and Chavis" didn't come about for no reason.

Remember the 2001 SEC Championship game?

Well one thing that I know is an irrefutable fact, if you disagree with me about CBJ you are a Bama fan and an idiot

I do love the tide, especially on the Emerald Coast.

I work with a woman named Crimson, I will back her as long as she's right.

Saban should be emulated.

Sister...you might have me there.

I just don't want you to think I didn't appreciate the Jimmy rustling effort.

Give me a break here, I didn't want you crying in your pillow tonight.
