Our football program is going down the tubes. Phil has been a great coach and will go down as one of the best we have ever had. I have supported him through some rough stretches and wish I still could. But some where along the way he has not been able to keep up with the ever changing SEC. Its a tough place to play and coach, and every season cant be a title season. But what I have watched this year is a team that shoots itself in the foot more ofton than not. Guess who else has been watching, the potential recruits for our team. Is what they have watched the last couple years gonna make them want to come play football for us, I think not. Something has got to change. I'll miss Phil, but the dude has got to go.

Spurrier will be in town this week... funny how that happens isn't it? I think it is safe to say he will be interviewing for a job. He would love nothing better than to absolutely send Fulmer out the door. You know if and I stress if Spurrier becomes your new coach it really ups the ante with Florida and Alabama [like we could hate your school even more...with Spurrier we could] but that is one big IF!

Numbers not adding up for Fulmer

The hot rumor around the state of Tennessee on Monday was that Phillip Fulmer's agent, Jimmy Sexton, and Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton were negotiating a settlement for Fulmer to step down.
Well, there are a couple of things wrong with that rumor.
Streeter Lecka/Getty Image Coach Phillip Fulmer's hot seat is getting hotter.For one, Sexton was in Birmingham speaking to the Birmingham Touchdown Club and was in Tuscaloosa later in the day. He has also not discussed any kind of settlement with Hamilton, and Fulmer hasn't broached the topic with either Sexton or Hamilton.
Hamilton referred to talk that he's already commissioned a search firm to help find Fulmer's replacement as "total B.S."
Here's the other thing wrong with Monday's hot rumor: There won't be any negotiations on a settlement if Fulmer is forced out. The settlement will be the $6 million buyout he's contractually owed. That was negotiated last summer.
The 29-9 loss to Alabama certainly didn't help Fulmer any, and it was more the way the Vols lost. They weren't even in the game in the second half, which is the fourth straight time that's happened against rivals Alabama and Florida.
Tennessee has lost its last four games to Alabama and Florida by a combined score of 159-52.

Losing big games is one thing. But not being competitive in those games will get a coach fired quicker than anything, even a coach as established as Fulmer.
Unfortunately for Fulmer, it's been a trend.
Since the start of the 2002 season, the Vols have lost 30 games -- and 12 of those losses have been by 17 points or more.

Well, if you have to hate something, hate it with a passion, right! I cant stand Bama, but at the same time I have to admire what they have accomplished so far this year. Now the Gators are a little different animal to me, I despize them on a whole different level. If we are dreaming, lets dream big. I would love to sit and listen to Stevie prod and poke at the Gators as he once did Tenn, then go out and just kill them in the game like he has Tenn so many times.(It isnt bragging if you can do it, right). Like you said though, its a big "IF".

Alabama is still enjoying the win and counting the loot from betting Tennessee fans. I hope ya'll still have the 6 million to but out Fatboy!

I quit betting on ballgames a long time ago, and betting for Tenn. to win is kind of dangerous right now. If I was to bet I would have to bet on Tenn winning the game, so you see my problem.

Obama will cover your bets with his stimulus package. Heck if ya'll vote for him he might pony up the money to get rid of Fulmer.

At least we agree on something... go shoot your guns and cling to your religeon. That's what the leftist socialist party thinks about us Southerners anyway.
