UT Coaching Changes?

Anyone who watched the game last night has to be extremely upset with the amount of mental mistakes that Tennessee made. What's more is that this has been what we have seen all year long. From personal fouls and illegal formations to wasted time-outs, I have been shocked at how poorly coached these kids have been this year.

 

Even with the injuries, you can at least teach the kids how to line up properly.

 

Sanders and Chavis should be looking over their shoulders.

 

What do you think?

I agree with all of your points!

 

How many more times will we see toss sweep on 3rd and 4th down with 2 yards or less to gain. We run that play almost everytime in short yardage situations. I remember 2 stuffs from Florida against it; one of which gave them the ball back for the touchdown winning drive two years ago!

 

Phil has to pull the trigger, or he will be the one looking down the wrong end of the barrel.

There will be only minimal changes. Sanders and Chavis are both probably safe, from everything that's being said in the Knoxville media. One of the strength/line coaches may get the axe, but that's about it. Fulmer will likely continue to campaign for, and subsequently receive, a raise.

My friend on the football team says that Sanders is not the one calling the plays...its Fulmer! He said the players love Sanders actually and the only game where he has really called the majority of the plays was against Michigan last year. Fulmer is calling the majority of the plays and started doing so in the summer prior to this season. The reason? He could take credit for the offensive fireworks that would take place...and subsequently get a raise.

 

I talked bad about Sanders just like you all...but my friend told me it was just a common misconception. He said the problems mostly lied in Fulmer not getting the players ready...during halftime of the Rutgers game...all he really said was "We are going to open it up a little bit." And they started playing better...I wish UT had gotten John Thompson former defensive coach at Arkansas, Memphis, Southern Miss. and now the current coach at ECU. He could have really helped us out.

I think that Sanders has had his chance and he's blown it...let us all remember that Chavis had more injuries on his side of the ball than Sanders did (although 'The Past' was one of the injuries).

Swamp,

 

While I hope you are not right, you probably are!

 

However, his loyalty will probably be his undoing. I think he needs to drop the axe on Sanders and Chavis. In thinking that, I am hoping that at least one will be gone.

    • This late in the year, you’d have to think they’d go with an Asst. on staff, right? I’m pretty new to the area so still learning how folks do things around here…if Woods stays there to teach, it could be hard on a new guy/staff coming in…
    • Well, your Big Western Hunt better turn up some Zebras to come graze on the Stones to make the jungle gametime ready again and make sure the plumber bros. still will come service the facilities at the Mecca. I hope your weekend is Fowl. Tell Rip hello from the Five Oh. Maybe the Gravedigger will catch a ride with Alphaniner on a flyover soon to BNA. 
    • It’s not hearsay, just patently false. As one of those young coaches he apparently “ran off”, coach never once ridiculed or degraded anyone. Sure he challenged kids and coached them very hard,  but we have different definitions of you call that degrading. Coach Hammontree changed my life when he gave me the chance to work for him. I learned more about being a man and caring for the people around me in 4 years working for him than I did in 20 years of my life. No one sacrificed more than he did. I left Heritage because I felt there would never be the support necessary to help the program succeed. I’m tired of hearing people drag others down especially those they truly don’t know. Coach has moved on and a new coach is there. Just let the man live and root for the team. 
    • Waiting on the Great One.   White Horse and Rip have a big weekend in the woods, and the Sheriff is working the overtime here.      Turkey season awaits…..Big Gobblers everywhere.
