All good HC get and keep great assistants. Fulmer had Cut and Chief plus several others. Texas, USCw are struggling with way more talent then Vols because they couldn't keep good assistants. Dools entire staff walked after second year. Last years team hsd 9 win talent but 5 win coaches.

Let me count the reasons:
1. Alienated the football alum
2. Could not recruit
3. Could not keep coaches because he was a know it all
4. The team did not respect him
5. No track record
6. Thought bathing was more important than winning
7. Did not instill confidence with either the team or recruit
and that is just the topping.

Respected? He had a losing record. He had no clue as to how to build a program, how to build key relationships, how to coach any discipline into his team, how to be an effective in game coach. There.... that's a start.

Didn't have a big enough pair of binoculars to see all the worthless crap he was doing.

Not pimp enough to wear Orange Pants IMO.....just didn't have the dip in his hip or a glide in his stride....

In a nutshell, even if you think he is a great football mind (debatable), his approach to coaching is better suited to the NFL than college. In college football you are a politician, in the NFL you are a CEO. He wanted to be a CEO, but all of his VP's walked in year 2 and he hired Sunseri to replace them. Sunseri may be a great coach, but you don't change to a 3-4 when your job in on the line. First year of a 3-4 is almost always bad, even bama went 6-6 year one...

Also I hear stories about how he never called any of the HS coaches around Nashville, leaving that to his assistants. That works fine for a CEO but these HS coaches felt like they sent an email to their congressman and got a generic "thank you for your vote! form letter in return.

I personally think that he is a terrible coach. He seems to be a good position coach though. Plus there was something about him he couldn't hold on to any of his assistants for some reason

D Coordinator hire is what really got him. With a decent defensive coordinator hire or just promoting Lance and keeping the 4-3 we win 9 games last year and we have a very different opinion of him. I'm not saying he's an excellent or even good coach ( see Kentucky 2011) but that O was good enough to carry an average D to nine wins.

Because he didn't call a time out at the end of the Missouri game . In my opinion that's about like Johnny punting on third down.

Do y'all think that we are having a slow start because our defense is still trying to recover from that God awful 3-4 "defense" that sal put us through?

Exactly neither mentally challenged nor lame people shoudl wear Orange pants. There's too much at stake. He failed on both counts. Condredge now could wear them pants all day and own them.

they didn't walk,i believe Hart had a plan and we have seen how it has panned out so far,he backed into hiring CBJ,which could be a good thing,time will tell

and throw into the mix,that fans were screaming for him to be fired as soon as he was hired,had to hurt his recruiting

He seemed to be respected until he came to ut. Was it a bad match? Did he not have the support? Or did he just plain suck a@#?

He wasn't willing to make those midnight drives to taco bell that any self-respecting coach should be.
