How can anybody deny :blush2: Coach Cutt's ability to bring us back to dominance. This is the guy :dance2: who went and resurrected an :gun: Ole Miss football Program and they foolishingly let him go. They regretted it and realized they made a huge mistak :blush2: e, and tried to save face by hiring :gun: Ed Oregeron. Now we have him back and you guys act like he is an average Joe. Remember his offensive system is what took us to a national championship with a mobile Qb :bow: but I won't start on that again, lol !

I would love to see Randy succeed elsewhere just to show all the UT faithful that disliked him and blamed him for all of our problems

Well if Sanders can realize the errors of his ways, he will do great. He needs to become more aggressive in playcalling and not so predictable. I mean watching his offense was boring!

Back to the topic . . . I'd still like to hear what people think about this. Whatever you think of the playcalling, the Sanders/Fulmer relationship etc . . . Do you think Randy can be a good position coach and possibly a coordinator down the line? I really think the answer is yes.

I think he's smart enough to learn from his mistakes. There's no better reality check than a losing season and being shoved out the door. I think he's motivated to succeed. Now whether he does or not is up to him.

It wasnt his offense it was Fulmers :crazy: :crazy:

Sanders called the plays not Fulmer. If you know anyting about football, you know that bascially to a degree that the majority are similar, they mave have a different name or formation. However timing and strategy is everything. Fulmer was informed of what was going to be call but he truusted that his OC was making a well educated call, he really didn't intervene that much in play calling until he had to. To be honest during Sanders reign at OC , we sucked on offense, our defense really kept us in most games !

I agree, but I keep going back to his days as a RB coach. He obviously knew something when he was turning out James Stewart, Jay Graham, Jamal Lewis, Travis Henry.

U are right GA, Randy was a good positions coach just because he didnt succeed very well at OC everybody thinks he was the worst coach UT ever had, and that just aint right. It took guts for him to resign from a University that he gave is all for for so many years.

Now thats different, he did a heck of job at that position, Those are all high caliber guys. He just didn't have the same success as an OC. It really made my heart flourish to hear of those names and reminisce about the good ole days.

Well I am one who think he sucked as an OC :bad: ,but at RB coach he did an outstanding job :bow: .He was not the worst coach we had, because he would have never been here!

That's exactly my point. The world is full of Coordinators who can't cut it as Head Coaches and position coaches who can't cut it as Coordinators. That doesn't make them bad coaches, just casualties of the Peter Principle.

I just think Sanders was one of those who either can't handle being in a leadership position or he just wasn't ready. Either way, he is good in specific fields. i wish him the best. Maybe he can improve and perhaps come back....go ahead and laugh at me...

The guy is a above average coach but he's so predictable a 3 year old can guess the offense. If he would ever open it up and play with some balls he would be a much better QB coach.

True...when disasters like this happen punishment is order of the day, someone was gonna pay the piper. I believe coach Sanders has talent in football but to agree with most everyone his playcalling was as predictable as what grannies havin for Thangsgiving dinner. It was time for a change. I think coach Cutcliffe will have 100% of the offense, and I also think he will excell hugely.

Believe it or not, Brooks is a pretty good personnel manger. Sanders might flourish on that staff. The only negative is that Joker Phillips, the OC doesn't have nearly the experience Sanders has. Plus I just don't think the people in Lex would look favorably upon the addition. These people HATE UT football.

Well, I hate LOSING to UT in Football. :(

I for one would welcome Sanders to the staff. If the man can develop our QBs, I would be happy. That hasn't happened since we had the Round Mound of Touchdown.

We do have a former UT Asst. AD as our current AD, who hasn't made a lot of positive press with long-standing fans of the program, but I think that the educated football fan would welcome Sanders without reservation. There's a lot of difference in QB coaching and directing the offense.

I agree there is a big difference in being a position coach. Maybe he would bring something to the staff, but the UK fans that I know do not care for UT a bit...and I certainly mean that on a personal level.

Most of them also think that Barnhart is a smoke and mirrors kind of guy. Some have never forgiven him over the Morris situation.

I would say that Mumme developed QBs pretty well. His downfall was Bassett, and letting Bonner hit the road. If Dusty stayed, he may have kept his job. As far as Lorenzen goes, well nobody made him lose the wieght.

Sanders resigned on 10/31/05. Today is 1/22/06 and he is apparently still unemployed. It seems the 119 other D1-A programs don't agree that he has football talent that is valuable to them. The mad dash coaches hiring season is over.
