So it's okay for Neyland to lose 5 games in a season.... but not Fulmer?

I have to agree with AV in this aspect. Give the man a chance to prove that his a good coach. Now is not the time to start over with a new head coach. We need (and I think he has earned the right) to give CPF a chance to "see what he is made of". If he fails to make this a championship team over the next 3 years, then he should step down for the love of the program. I think that this post shows that a true great coach will prevail when the chips are stacked against him. This is truely a test of his coaching abilties over the times to come.

i personally think phil should have been canned this year, but if things don't change next year he will get the boot. i hope he can turn things around.

To the poster above that said Fulmer is no Bob Neyland....how do you know? I'll betcha I'm older than you and I have no clue. I can tell you one thing, football in 2005 doesn't resemble the game of the Neyland days. But still, I'd love to see why Fulmer is no Neyland.

Part of the point of my previous post was that things have changed.  Rivals was not around to rate Neyland's talent.  ESPN didn't cover practice, and there was no such thing as a blue chipper.

One thing I will say, if Neyland had as many Bluechippers as Fulmer had this year, and lost 40% of his games, he would have quit.

The rivals comment aside, there is much to be said about the ability to win with the talent recruited. The much ballyhood recruiting classes the Volunteers have fielded makes one scratch one's head regarding the poor performances put forth on the field lately!!

The ball is definitely in Coach Fulmer&#39;s court. Here&#39;s hoping he understands that he is not indespensible and earns his considerable salary&#33;&#33;
