@VolTN I hate to say it, but maybe we as the fans are to blame / or had a small part for the recent downfall of our beloved VOLS. We were spoiled in the late 90's and the early 2000's. We made them get rid of Fulmer because we quit going to the games due to his declining record, and all of the negative press that we as fans were putting on social media sites. The dismissal of Fulmer lead to Kiffin, which then lead to Dooley, and now most recently Butch Jones. If we as the fan base do not start acting a bit more inviting and supporting our team no matter what our record is then no one will ever want to coach here. Everyone wanted a big name coach but why would any big name coach want to come here? We have been struggling for years, if you dont win with-in the first two years we as the fan base will force the decision to get you fired, we are in the toughest conference, and we have very little in state talent that can play at the SEC level. Dont get me wrong I have been a VOL fan for life, but after reading the majority of the posts regarding this hire I was a bit embarrassed to be a VOL fan. We have to give this new coach and our team our full support no matter how bad we think this hire is. I also believe that all the former Alabama coaches, assistants and AD's that we have brought on staff need to go. It just doesn't make any sense to hire and spend a lot of money on staff members from our most rivaled school. I am not saying that they are sabotaging UT, but I would feel a lot better if these Alabama guys were no longer controlling the future of UT. Just my 2 cents.
