Some still have feelings that he did not go to UT.

Does anyone beside me think that he made the best decision NOT to go there and be buried on the depth chart in the defensive backfield?

Everything happens for a reason and MannCobb is better for it.

Reminds me of another Cobb that got away from UT...

I dont agree w/ that, I think he could have had a similar role as he did w/ KY. Either way I think he will have a dynamite career playing the "slash" role in the NFL. I would even say he is the new edition "Slash 2.0".....

I dont agree w/ that

I don't agree with you.

Fulmer did not play Freshmen...Brooks did.

Cobb made his mark as a Freshman.

Cobb played three years.

Further proof...Manning did not start as freshman, until Colquitt got hurt and Florida sent Todd Helton into retirement. (his first start week 5 v Wazzu a 10-9 win)

As a starter, Manning STILL split time with Brandon Stewart until Stewart transferred.

There is a HUGE list of kids that did well that did not go to UT either because Fulmer came after them too late or the kids knew that playing time would not come until their third year on campus. (after Redshirt and freshman seasons)

Fine whatever, I really didnt care about it enough to study it, I still feel he could have played receiver K/PR even if he didnt play until his soph. year.....

Fulmer played freshmen. Maybe not as many as Brooks or others, but he played them if they were good enough.

You're wrong on Manning/Stewart. Stewart tranferred AFTER Manning beat him out.

I'm sure Fulmer did miss out on some players. Don't all coaches? I believe Fulmer also got some players from other states that did quite well in Knoxville.

All in all, I'll take Fulmer's overall record of winning over 75% of his games, playing in the SEC and playing top flite non conference teams every year, on top of the only National Championship most of us will ever see as a good thing.....in spite of him honestly telling Cobb he wasn't SEC QB material.

    • Began as a discussion, and evolved into a trainwreck...   Don't know how many of the TC "old guard" are left, but I feel for y'all.   Everybody has to get the last word... no matter the cost and sometimes the cost is high.
    • He may have possibly said that to get the best out of him. Back when I was in school word got out I was going to transfer and Coach Story popped off and ask Coach Wilson in front of the team if Maryville was going to get a jock strap in return on this trade. That got back to me and I got fired up and stayed just to show them up. Now today Coach Story is one of my best friends.
    • Dylan's Dad, I'm glad you replied. I wanted to reply but wasnt willing to take the bait. There were 20 wrestlers on the team. I may be mistaken and correct me if I'm wrong but I believe 5 of the 20 attend McCallie right now and one will next year. At most, there are/were 6 kids on that team who attend McC. That leaves 14 other team members who have ZERO affiliation with McC (outside of maybe some friends) who represented our state to the best of their ability and wrestled their butts off that weekend. That weekend was a first for Tennessee and obviously a small step in the right direction for us as a state. Congratulations TEAM TN BLACK!
    • Danny Wilson is the only one that come's to mind but I don't know where he is at now.
    • I am pro coach all day long but there are some knucklehead hires for sure.
