Despite an inspired effort by the Tennessee defense, Fulmer and the Volunteers are now 2-4 after a 26-14 loss to Georgia. The culprit in this loss, like all the other losses is the Tennessee offense. Here's some stats to chew on, one yard rushing, 10 first downs, 209 total yards of offense, and not a Krispy Kreme in sight. This is also the third straight game that Tennessee has failed to gain more than 10 first downs. When you consider that Tennessee played Norther Illinois last week, that ain't good. Unfortunately for Fulmer and the Volunteers, David Cutcliff doesn't look to be getting fired anytime soon at Duke.Earlier this week, Auburn fired their offensive coordinator due to failure to perform. Obviously a move to save Tommy Tuberville's job. Considering that Tennessee fans are calling for Fulmer's firing, it might be the last hope Fulmer will have to save his job. Although there doesn't look to be much hope that even that would improve the sputtering Volunteer offense.
Georgia played well, controlling the clock for nearly 25 minutes longer than Tennessee. They won in every way possible, except in the turnover battle. Where, surprisingly, Tennessee had no turnovers. But when you can't move the ball, holding on to it might do more harm than good.

Bring back Trooper Taylor
I agree 100%. Bring back Trooper. He brought hype!!!! He must be doing something right...with his offense averaging over 45 points per game and beat Missouri!!!!!
Phil Fulmer seems to have the attitude "If we win O.K. if we don't O.K., a situation that done in Coach Bill Battle...when is the same expectations going to be put on Fulmer? Maybe it's time for a coaching change...and if U.T. would get out of the habit of signing and resignin coaches to a long drawn out contract, maybe the state could save money there also!! It's time for a new coach and Fulmer to retire or whatever other training he has...he doesn't seem to care about winning anymore. Also, I think it was very wrong of Fulmer to brag on Peyton Manning as quarterback, and then when Tee Martin becomes quarterback, has a perfect season and wins the National Championship his first year as quarterback, yet gets no praise for it, and things said such as "It was a team effort", and Tee Martin never gets the praise as Manning did who did not have a perfect season, yet was praised mainly because of his last name is wrong of Coach Phil Fulmer!!
Thank you, you are sooooooooooooooooo right.
i agree. fire the OC. bring back trooper. or maybe hire Steve Spurrier??
Hre Peyton or Tee Martini
I also think it is time for a change,it seems like after Tn's coaches are there for 14 or 15 yrs they get the I don't care attitude it seems to happen with them all,Dickey,Battle, Majors and now Fulmer,they should have gotten rid of him instead of Randy Sanders when they did,he seems to have done a good job at Ky.
Phil Fulmer needs to go...Last year was the best season he has had in 8 years and i think last year was a disappointment. Did you see Bama beat us last year, how messed up was that, oh and I have friends that are Florida fans, can we get a coach that can beat them please fulmer is like 3 and 13 against florida...and never ever get stever spurrier how horrible would that be he would lose on purpose he hates tennessee
David Cutcliffe - Head Coach
Trooper Taylor - Offensive Coordinator
John Chavis - Defensive Coordinator
Tee Martin - Quarterbacks Coach
Stroh. In a perfect world your lineup would be perfect. However this world is less than that as are the powers that be. Lets just work on getting Fulmer out then Coach Cutcliff can possibly make his way back to Ol Rocky Top.
Unload the whole staff...Keep one coach who knows whats going on with the university and cut the rest of them loose. If we are going to continually be in a "rebuilding year" then lets start rebuilding.
Hire Steve Spurrier! He has 8 sec championships and 1 National Championship. He is also a Tenn. Native.
