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.

TBH though? My wife and I love it. We live just outside the city. It's quiet. It's easy to get around. The students hang out in places I don't venture to, so we maintain a nice separation, but on the rare occasion that we do run into each other I always tell them to go do their homework and quit sinning, that's for us older mature people with stable jobs to do.He is a professor at GSU. Lol! There is nothing to do there unless you are a student and just want to party.
