If I remember correctly Schaeffer's biggest problem was he would look for one receiver and then run. That caught up to him when the competition improved. Plus he doesn't have a bazooka strapped to his shoulder like Ainge. If he were here Cut would definitely have improved his ability to go through his progressions, but there's no way he would ever beat out Ainge. Ainge is just too good a fit for this offense

I know he would never beat out Ainge, just wondering what you thought he would do if Ainge wasn't here and Schaeffer was our starter.

Even a blind pig occasionally finds an acorn. First, he would have been competing with a coach every bit as dull as he is. Second, I welcome TCHFCATUTK to try and make a living recruiting South Florida after this season when Greg Schiano is the coach at the "U." If he tries that, I'll get my change in Knoxville sooner than later.

We all know that only kids from South Florida are good!? I think if you look over history you will find that UT has done as well as any and much better than most in going into Florida and getting top notch football players. He also does it in Ga, Va, Nc, Sc, La hell he even gets top notch kids from Cali.
It is amazing how a rube could get those kids to come to UT.

I guess it's the Forrest Gump equation.

I've been a defender of Fulmer on this board in a number of threads, but until he adds another crystal football or two to the trophy case, I don't think he belongs on anybody's "Greatest of All Time" lists.

Hear that Phil? Two more. That's not so many. Just two.

Thank you.

I think he is a Great Coach , I believe he has the best winning % of any coach out there right now doesn't he.

Highest winning % of any active coach who's coached 100 games or more.

That leaves out the likes of Urban Meyer, Mark Richt, and Larry Coker.

How many great players have we gotten out of Georgia since Rodney Garner's departure?

Or catching balls from him. Which could, I guess, bring him more success.

He seems better sutied for WR. I've haven't payed close attention but I hear he's really struggling at Ole Miss. Its one thing to tear up JC, its another to do it in the SEC especially playing at Ole Miss for a caveman(no offense to any cavemen out there, I really didn't realize you guys where around anymore:) )
If he were at UT and our only legit option at QB I think Cut could make it work. Like I said his progressions were the issue, he was too eager to run. I also heard he didn't have as good of a grasp on the offense as Ainge and that was obviously a problem. I think he would work out for us and his ability to scramble would obviously bring a new dimension to what we have now. It would just be a matter of him learning to pass first....pass second...pass third....think about passing again....then run

I wonder if he could catch on in the NFL as a WR like Brad Smith, Reggie McNeal, Matt Jones...

Here are a few players from GA on UT's roster. Before you say anything hatvol, I know these players aren't great.

Inky Johnson
Arron Sears
Anthony Parker
Chris Scott
LaMarcus Thompson

And lets hope we can add the first GREAT player from GA in a while... MR. ERIC BERRY.

Let's see, the Vols greatest rival is Alabama. No team has beaten the Vols more. Alabama wins the '92 national title. Fulmer takes over as full time head coach in '93. He has a 10-3 record versus the Tide. He has 1 national championship, 2 SEC championships, 4 SEC Championship Game appearances, finished at the top of the SEC East Standings 6 times, and has 8 seasons with 10+ wins. His winning percentage is tops in the country for coaches with more than 10 years of head coaching experience.

Much like Heisman contenders, head coaches are now usually scrutinized to death.... like searching for any weakness. I don't think Neyland went through the same scrutiny.

Neyland never had a losing season, but he did have back-to-back non-winning seasons. In 1947 (5-5) and 1948 (4-4-2). The 1948 season saw the Vols drop from being ranked 18th as they lost 2 and tied 1 in the final 3 games to Ole Miss (13-16), Kentucky (0-0) and Vanderbilt (6-28). Neyland won 1 national championship, 5 SEC Championships, 2 Southern Conference Championships, 5 season with 10+ wins, and winning 82.9% of his games. In his 21 seasons, he compiled 173 wins.

In 13+ seasons, Fulmer has compiled 133 wins. At his current pace, he'll pass Neyland in wins by his 18th season.

As for saying "he had NFL players" and "he can't win without Cutcliffe".... guess what -- thats part of being a head coach, getting players and hiring assistants.

I personally don't know the man, but his record speaks for itself. Personal attacks should be reserved for a different thread.

Let's see where those guys are after 100 games. Remember, Fulmer had won 2 SEC titles and national championship in the time those 3 have been coaching. Only Coker has won a national title, and he's on the hotseat now in Miami (unranked and 3-2).

Nice how you leave out the fact that Alabama was on probation and coached by clowns for most of that period. Oh, that's right Phillip Informer is a major reason they were on probation. What is his record against the best coach of that era in the SEC, Steve Spurrrier? Oh, that's right. Fulmerites don't like to talk about that.

Hey, I've got nothing against Coach Fulmer. I'm a big CPF fan... I'm just stating the facts.
