Will we ever coach our special teams?

[Jasongivm6]

Serious questions :bad: :yuck: :no: . Will Special teams play ever be thought of as important to Fulmer. "Of course it is", he says.....But that's about it. Just saying it is. Well guess what coach, why don't we coach in that area? If Fulmer says he does coach it, then why can't we get someone to coach it and actually make it work?

When are you going to recruit a QB that can throw it further than my little sister?

When are we going to have a good offense?

Why, when we do have a good offense, is our defense bad, and vice versa?

Can we ever put a good offense and good defense together in the same year?

Will we always hear, "We had to play it as close to the vest as we could with our QB"?

The quarterbacks we have right now aren't as good as Casey Clausen, Tee Martin, Peyton Manning, Heath Shuler or Andy Kelly. That goes back 15 years.

What recruits are going to want to play for Randy Sanders?

IMO special teams is all coaching and may be the greatest indicator that CPF has lost control of this program.

-I'm sure Ainge can throw further then your little sister.

-Our offense will be fine when our recievers learn how to run routes.

-What recruits want to play for Sanders?.......How about all of them since '98. To name a few.....Jason Allen, Omar Gaither, Jason Hall, Chriss Hannon, Parys Haralson, Justing Harrell, Gerald Riggs, Rob Smith, Jonathon Wade, James Wilhoit, Gibril Wilson, Jayson Swain, Bret Smith, Robert Meachem. Aaron Sears, Jon Hefney, RoShaun Fellows, Jon Hefney, Erik Ainge, Jesse Mahelona, Albert Toeaina.

-Special Teams?.....We could probably start with getting a coach. You'd think that it would be easier to coach special teams if you had a Special Teams Coach. We have some guy who does that as his 3rd positional coach.

I truly do not understand why we don't have a special teams coach :banghead: How in the world can a top program from year to year not have a special teams coach?? We are killing ourselves week to week without quality ST play!!! :mf_surrender: :no: :twocents:

When Majors was here he was the special teams coach. And you have to give the man credit, we had good special teams play then. I'm not sure why Fulmer dropped the ball there, but he obviously has.

Due to CPF's at least verbal acknowledgement that the kicking game(aka special teams) is very important, you'd think it would be a focus of the gameplan considering how conservative his gameplans are(ie..field position)...Now understand me clear Volfans...I'm a rockytopper supporter 100% but let me say this and hear it....coach Frank Beamer and the Hokies are undefeated, ranked 3rd in the nation, and they have excellent special teams play BECAUSE special teams are priority BECAUSE field position is a priority in scoring. I think CRS would look a heck of a lot more competant, and the players would as well...if they didnt start inside their on 25, as opposed to past it. :twocents:

The problem is that special teams is the key to the type of game plan we run. If you are going to play old school ball control football, special teams is beyond key!

Too bad half the players you named didn't come to Tennessee to play for Randy Sanders. They came to play for John Chavis. But hey, if Jesse Mahelona can catch a pass, maybe Randy could see how he could be put to use.

Oh, and I forgot. Ainge is as useful as my little sister sitting on the sidelines.
