Here’s my opinion that nobody asked for but is certainly better that BruBear’s (I know shots fired):

We will keep spinning our wheels on this program until someone who cares about Tennessee football is able to swallow their pride and get everyone on the same page. Does CJP and staff need to be fired? Absolutely. In any other job if you underperform your lose your job. Why should a position that pays millions of dollars a year with much loftier expectations be exempt from this standard. He’s been gives 3 years to build something and show progress. He’s halfway built something that’s fallen apart this year and as a result has not shown progress.
Should Fulmer be fired as AD? If he fails to see that changes need to be made, then he lacks the leadership and vision to run the Tennessee athletic department. Doesn’t matter what he did in the past. He could have won the Medal of Honor. That’s in the past. He has a different set of standards to uphold now. If anything, his job is more important than head coach. He determines the future of this program. Do we sustain substandard performance or do we strive for excellence? We have enough money to make a decision either way. A Top 5 revenue producing program doesn’t serve s**t on a sandwich and call it prime rib.

On a personal more biased note, my fandom is in jeopardy. I have supported this program and it’s decisions through 15 years of execution that matches what a local C-USA team here in Hattiesburg does. I get tired of talking to fans of other SEC teams who beam with pride on their teams performance while they look on at us Vol fans as a bunch of delusional hopefuls as we talk about one day we might be competitive again.

Enough about that. Hope y’all have a Merry Christmas. I’m enjoying the time off. January on holds a lot of training for units coming through Camp Shelby.

Still the worst hire in modern P5 football and it isn't close. Those dumb***** that hired Dooley should be taken to the public square. Just ridiculous. A 5 year old with basic reading and math skills could have made a better hire.

"4-8 at La Tech...he's our man!" Wtf.....

Dooley has been the only coach, out of the 4 since Fulmer, that I couldn't talk myself into. I never believed he'd work out here. His hiring didn't make sense at the time and it still doesn't. The only thing he had going for him was his last name. Sexton sold Hamilton a "pig in a poke" on that deal.

*Kiffin resigned late on January 12th 2010 and Dooley was hired on January 15th. I forgot how quickly they hired Dooley. What a terrible week for Volunteer fans. We still haven't recovered.

**Hamilton, Kiffin, and Sexton should be at the top of VOL fans "sh.t list".

Our insiders all over the map.

Is someone keeping track?

So far the reputable insiders on the two combined sites have told us in the past two days that:

Fulmer isn’t fighting a coach change - bobvols
Fulmer is standing in the way of a coach change - AV
A coaching change isn’t happening -matt4042
A coach change is happening - Bob Vols and AV

I can always count on your opinion to be completely worthless. Please apologize to every tree you see for wasting their oxygen that they produced for you.

So unenlightened. Not sure if the denseness comes from being a gypsy or being in the Army. Called "grunts" for a reason, ya know. #goNavy

What bothers me the most about the intel we’ve received on Pruitt is the way he treats his assistants and others. If true, rip off the duct tape now. There’s no way we’ll ever be successful, it takes everyone pulling together

Just read this and man I was moved.
Here’s the deal no way will that be your last experience with your daughter. Next year reach out to me and I will ensure you get some VIP treatment for any game of your choice for you and her. I can’t guarantee the team will be up to expectations but as you probably know its more about that experience with your daughter than anything else. Just reach out to me via email and we will get it all set up.

Merry Christmas...
