Fulmer on the hot seat — “it’s time for you to GO!!!!!”

9 November, 2007 (12:40) | Vol Football, Tennessee, Fulmer | By: Phil Ayres

Great article today on ESPN.com about Fulmer being on the hot seat.  The tide against the great obese one has grown the last couple of years.  I do think the voices are getting louder.  Even people who I know have been huge defenders of Fulmer (JCD for one… you know who you are.) have now turned against him.

It is time for Fulmer to go.  We have been in stagnation since 1998.  How many years can you coast on a National Championship?  With disgraceful losses and progressively worse recruiting classes… does anyone honestly think it is going to get better?

So, what?  Let’s say this team makes it to Atlanta… can they win?  Because, that is really what matters… it is not about a winning season in Knoxville… it is about playing for a National Championship or playing your way into the BCS… unless Fulmer does that… this should be it for him!  Buy him out, and let’s do for football what Bruce Pearl has done for basketball in Knoxville.

The undoing of the Tennessee Volunteers

I was ashamed of yesterday’s performance - as a lifelong Vol fan.  Worst loss since 1981.  I didn’t realize that until I read the Tennessean today.  I knew it had to be the worst loss in the Fulmer era.

I don’t have much to say about yesterday - except, it was pathetic.  Pathetic performance by the players… and a typically pathetic performance by old coaches who have no originality, creativity, or even skill.

This is the beginning of the end for the Vols - unless they fire Fulmer and his merry band of nursing home patient/coaches.  Fire Fulmer for God sakes… we have been a steady decline since 1998.

Randy Sanders was the sacrificial lamb two years ago.  Is Fulmer going to be thrown to the wolves, this time?  I sure hope so.

UT ticket prices going up???? Are you kidding?

Wow, this makes a lot of sense.  You lose half your games.  You disgrace yourself weekly.  And, you fail to go to a bowl game - despite the fact that you have a top 10 recruiting class consistently.  I have a solution . . . . let’s up the ticket prices . . . how ridiculous is this?
