Back in Fulmers hey day, He had loads of Talent. In fact a lot of people in the “know” said if coach XYZ had the talent that Fulmer had. They would have won Three National Championships. Well Fulmer did get his Title but he basically had a NFL team when he did it. So how much coaching did he actually have to do. Some would say we rode the tails of Coach Majors Recruits and was able to parlay that with some outstanding recruiting of his own into the highest winning percentage of active coaches(at the time) Again I ask how much actual coaching did he do. After the 98 season for whatever reason the recruiting and talent level started to slowly decline. We weren’t getting scrubs by any means we still grabbed loads of talent but just not the super superstars. As the Talent declines, the coaching needs to increase. I believe our present overall talent level at Tennessee (we do have some NFL players or players that could play on any team) is just to low for Fulmer’s actual coaching capacity. So what is the answer? Do we need a new coach or better talent? Or can we only get better talent if we get a new coach? Why are we losing the talent? is it because of Fulmer’s style of play? Is it because Fulmer is old school? Is it because you cant start or even play as a freshman? There has to be a reason. If Fulmer is going to turn it around it has to be by getting better talent.
2008 No Talent + No X’s and O’s = 4-8 W-L
