A young assistant coach on Frank Broyles staff at Arkansas was brought in to steer the Volunteers ship in 1964 and that was one Douglas Adair Dickey. Anyways, to my surprise and to be fair, dad flipped a coin and I won the toss, and I was off to see Tennessee take on the Bulldogs of Mississippi State. You had to know that when you hired him. I’m now recording those in here. Unless something changes drastically and Pruitt pulls some upsets, this could happen. There’s a reason he still hasn’t found any real work in the game! Let there be no doubt, the first 10 years of the Fulmer era were the greatest 10 years in modern Tennessee football history. Let’s also not forget, there may be many more factors that go into any decision to part ways with Pruitt, than just wins and losses. October 19th we travel to Tuscaloosa to take on the Crimson Tide. If that happens, it’s hard not to think we might only win a couple of games and if that is the reality, the other reality, is that apathy will set in on this program like it has never set in before. Edit Artist ; Share. We’ll be 1-2 heading into Gainesville to take on Florida. https://thevolcolonel.wordpress.com/2019/09/12/as-the-vols-world-turns/, https://sports.yahoo.com/10-takeaways-how-bad-can-it-get-at-tennessee-070643715.html. Nothing and I do mean nothing shocks me any more! These kids are huge, mammoth sized in fact, but it takes much more than being big and bulky to compete in the SEC. One of the points I’m trying to make, I’ve seen a lot of Tennessee football over these last 56 years since I went to my first game. Aug 11, 2017 #2. lockvol said: Anyone have any insight? He also developed a narcissistic streak, taking advantage of any reflective surface - even those of weapons - to look at hims… Listen folks, we’re all happy about Chaney and Tee joining the staff. That doesn’t include all the lost revenue from merch, concessions, ect. Next up in the painful loss column is the 21-14 defeat at the hands of North Texas State in 1975. If you’re serious about hitting them a lick this year, you’ve come to the right place! To those of you that think that, all I can say, is, are you freaking kidding me? They have power and money as well as some of the others in Phillip’s camp, but would it be enough to hold off the barbarians at the gate with a new administration in place? I’ll hold out some hope that we’ve got a game in us after starting out 1-4 with our only win coming over UT-Chattanooga, but make no mistake, it’s hope, not anything close to certainty. There’s only one huge problem with this. Throw Pruitt along with DL Coach Tracy Rocker into the mix with Ansley, Rumph and Sheerer and I think we have one of the best defensive coaching staffs in the country. While this is obviously a hit piece on Fulmer, I don’t think it’s all BS. The Volunteers opened a (-28) favorite over the Mocs and there’s just no way Tennessee will lose this game. US$0.99. You can call him a lot of things, fool isn’t one of them. There were other hurtful losses to Florida during the complete Fulmer era, but those 3 just mentioned were the most painful. Most disheartening, he never has his team ready to play. Not only did that loss hurt like hell and knock us out of the SEC game, it splintered this fan base down the middle for many, many years to come. Obviously some of the stuff in this piece is opinion like “how we could see things playing out”, but some of it is from a conversation with a friend, source, ect. Vol Colonel. Announcements. If my Mama knew what all he had said that day in front of me, she would have beat him with a broom. Not so fast my friend. Last years DC, Kevin Sheerer is still coaching the inside linebackers and has taken on the role of special teams coordinator this season. You really do have to wonder just how far back he started thinking about all of these, what-if’s. No-Sir-eee, No-Sir-eee, this picture is of the mass exodus of fans at halftime of the Georgia State game who had seen enough and started bolting for the exit ramps, yours truly included. I can tell you this, that should never happen. The Derek Dooley era had it’s share of all-time terrible losses.
