Is likely walking around with an abnormal 21st chromosome.

"Derp, Welp Phil Fulmer sure was good at ole Tennessee for a bit and we see how that worked out!!!"

Oh you mean the part where Tennesse fired a former NCAA champion coach and are now clawing every year to not be a bottom feeder in the shitty SEC East? VANDERBILT has had some better recent years than Tennessee folks.

My God.

Eh, he had two losing seasons in his last four at UTe. The game had passed him by. The fact that UTe couldn't bring in a competent replacement is an independent problem.

They let him stay to long. When the writing is on the wall don't ignore it.

I think this every time people want Miles fired. Terrible argument, I bet Tennessee fans would've loved to have kept him all these years and consistently been a 9 or 10 win team instead of the crap they have been through since they fired him.

It's an extra 21st. Doesn't have to be abnormal.

Sometimes guys stay too long and lose their edge, it happens.

Fulmer, Bowden, Coker, Tuberville, etc.

So I can see the comparisons.

But you are right about one thing...it all depends on who you hire as a replacement. Make the right hire, and its brilliant (see forcing out Bowden and replacing him with Fisher). Make the wrong hire, and its disastrous (see forcing out Cutcliffe for Orgeron or Fulmer for Kiffin.

It is a calculated gamble with enormous danger.

Derp. They became bottom feeders before he left. Thus the argument.

Tennessee 's inability to get their shite together and hire a good coach 6 years after Fulmer does not have a direct correlation to a lack of quality new coach availability. Only in your bizarro worldview does firing someone equal being in the wasteland for 6 years. The people they have in place are incompetent- Lane Kiffin for Christ sakes, really?
