Yes, yes, I know. I've been on Fulmer's case for sometime now because the program HAS slipped but you gotta give the guy credit. He turned what seemed like a disasterous season into a reclaimation project of all time. Considering that he wound up 10 and 4, with the four losses at a point total of a gazillion, Cutcliffe and Phil worked their magic and squeaked out a respectable season.

 

I was wrong about their fate but am proud to be wrong. Tennessee made us proud once again especially in a year that the top teams were falling off the chart every week. Had UT won their SEC championship game, they were as eligible as anyone to contend for the national championship. Debatable, of course. Anyways, to ALL those that jumped me for stating my negative opinion, I say that's my right, but it is also your right to defend and I'm man enough to admit it.

 

So bask in the glory of a 10-4 season and be thankful. There's always next year and by the looks of things, it should be shakier at UT than ever. OUT...... /cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />

Well, looks as if Fulmer is making the right moves with the coaching hires. I really, really, really like the Clawson hire as OC, and I think Drayton may make the Trooper departure seem less important.

 

If somehow he can get Loeffler in here as a QB coach, I'll give him a standing ovation.

Give him credit, he's making good moves. I hope he continues to amaze us. I believe he has gotten the message. Let's hope he can finish what he's starting. /cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="B)" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />

The more I read about Coach Clawson, the more I like him. When I heard that his goal every year is to have a 3,000 yard passer, a 1,000 yard rusher, and a 1,000 receiver, I knew then we made a good hire. He's a pro-stlyle, multiple offensive set kind of guy, which will mix well with the Tennessee philosophy.

 

And for those of us clamoring for some younger guys on the staff, assuming the receivers coach comes with Clawsom, his last three hires will be 40, 36, and 32 years old.

 

And he's ruffled Urban's feathers in the process which makes it all the better. Now just replace Slade and I would be tinkled pink.

What's Urban ruffled about?

Sounds like Tennessee isn't the only school that might be looking for a new OC. Major headed home to Texas???

 

 

Yep. The poor offensive performance the last half of the season showed the need for an experenced OC. It wasn't totally Coach Applewhite's decision to leave. The writing was on the wall. Bama will be running more spread next year. Coach Saban is recruiting the athletes to run it.

 

My guess of the top 5 candidates for OC job (Coach Saban hasn't asked my opinion so he may have someone else in mind /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" /> )

 

Georgia Southern head coach Chris Hatcher

Louisville assistant head coach/offensive coordinator Jeff Brohm

Green Bay Packers' quarterback coach Tom Clements

Boise State offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Bryan Harsin

Southern California assistant head coach/quarterbacks coach Steve Sarkisian

 

Dark horse candidate - LSU offensive coordinator Gary Crowton

      I don't know what's going on in the town of McMinnville, but I've read this and it's disturbing.  I'm a "player" person, and I want what's best for the player. If a player gets cut off the team because she said the "F word" then good grief. I mean, come on guys. I wish there was a way for the player to transfer to a different program and just play ball. There are a lot of athletes that are stuck because they're in crappy situations regarding their team/coach. This is player just happens to be one them.

      Won't happen. College coaches will back the coach every time and it cost this young lady her senior season. Looks like the player may be right on this one. School let her  go after one season. This stuff happens more than you think.

      “No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team.” For language? I’m not seeing that as a dealbreaker.

      Why did the coach get rehired after she was let go as an assistant by the former Warren County coach and the current AD?? Is that accurate?? I am very familiar with situations like this. Suprised lawsuits haven't happend before. If the coach unfairly let the player go, I think she has a shot because it cost her a scholarship. No college is going to offer a scholarship to a player that is kicked off of the team. Not going to happen. There are bad hires like this a bunch and kids are treated unfairly by coaches that can't coach a lick and have super long ropes somehow. Amazing how some of these coaches get hired and keep their job.
