Thanks for the well wishes. I know that to be difficult considering last night...even though I am openly honest about my feelings about our rivalry, I was bitterly disappointed in UT's showing last night.

Or lack of...

I think the UT players have quit on Phil. South Carolina is not that great of a football team.

Thanks for saying that, Terry. I felt the same way. Maybe it has something to do with Applewhite being on the staff or that I just like Colt McCoy as a player.

Has the BCS poll come out yet?

I'm sure Phil will be gone now. UT will get a good coach. Hopefully they will go outside the family. I hope our rivalry gets back to how it was before the bitterness.

 

[ExiledTidefan]

It is quite clear that head coaches must maintain a level of performance throughout their career. This may seem like common sense to the outside fan, but those who are really knowledgable can actually quantify it. I think that if a coach has the level of success in his first 4-6 years that Tuberville had, and that Fulmer had, there is a point at which no less is expected, or can be tolerated. In Tennessee's case, a 17 year career that has been disappointing in it's last 3-4 shows how much longer Fulmer has stayed there than perhaps he should have. For tuberville, it's fair to say that no more is expected now from him. By that, I mean that fans and alumni no longer believe he can achieve a higher level of performance. I dare say that getting rid of Tuberville will be a scary proposition, but shouldn't postpone the change as long as UT has.

We all know Tennessee will be back sooner or later, and that they've won much more than they've lost over the past 17 seasons. As for Auburn, well, maybe they will just go away.

A nice portion of my family are Tenn fans and I am so looking forward to handing my uncle a rotten orange this Thanksgiving. It will be nice to see it get back to being a more friendly rivalry.

Instead of 3-4 years it's more like 9 years now. Since the NC run in '98 Fulmer winning percentage against top 25 teams is .333.

In the last 5 years, it's a little lower than that.

I like the Tennessee Program, my disdain is focused on Fulmer. I actaually hope yall can him. The Bama UT rivalry is a great one, and I hope it continues.
