2017 College Football

And now Tennessee has fired their AD.  Have to say, it is warranted, he totally f'd this one up.

[nate]

Lol, this gets better and better!

 

[RallyMo]

They're not doing things well in Knoxville.

Also, Kiffin is just about the best follow on Twitter right now while this is going on. He's loving it.

When Joey Freshwater is winning, he's winning.

Please call Tee Martin after tonight game

From what I've read, he's been completely sabotaged the whole way. That's pretty uncool.

Now Wilner is floating the idea that Cal should grab Currie for AD.

I have come to realize that Wilner is a very successful troll

If not Taggert then Lame Kitten?

[nando714]

It’s about time Fisher left. Everything I’ve read is that he burned a lot of bridges at FSU. They made no attempt to try and keep him this time 

[nate]

Some reports that Taggert is a done deal, they will announce after the game Sat or Sun.

Sumlin maybe?  Nike has the money but a lot of the coaches have been hired already.

[Angel Oracle]

Fulmer is a total piece of work.   Hey Fulmer, just because Peyton Manning fell in your lap and thus led the way to a nat'l title while you were coaching Tennessee, doesn't give you the right to be a total and unmitigated asshole.    By the way, that 8-7 bowl game record is not exactly stellar. 

And you haven't said Thank You yet to UCLA and K-State for choking that last weekend, allowing you to even get to coach in the 1998 nat'l title game.

Taggart is a great fit at Florida State. 

If he takes his staff (sans Leavitt) they have a lot of ties to recruiting down there already 

as for Oregon . Little chance you convince frost to come back with Nebraska open. 

Ive always liked Norvell but I’m sure he’s waiting for Arkansas (played at central Arkansas) . 

Sumlin. I guess?

Yeah I was saying Sumlin maybe for Oregon.  Norvell is a good call too, I think Leach might go to Arkansas.

People who follow such things say that the Tennessee AD was one of the hottest commodities around when he was hired. Now, less than a year later, he is gone due to internal politics in Knoxville.

What a total shit show.

On top of the $10.4M they paid on Kevin Sumlin's buyout.

Manning didn't win a title, Tee Martin did. 

Fulmer is a piece of shit. When he was an assistant under Johnny Majors in 1992, he angled to be named head coach while Majors was recovering from heart surgery, telling Tenn that Clemson was interested in him being their HC. He also told administrators that the players were planning a revolt if he wasn't named HC. Majors heard about this and attempted to come back early against his doctor's recommendation. He came back, the Vols lost 3 straight, and Fulmer got his wish.  

Majors is still bitter about this.

This is why offense was so important in this hire. Bear in mind that this was after four years of horrible offense under Will Muschamp, and after the current staff had three years to assemble and prepare a team (and the two previous years were in the same neighborhood). These are final NCAA offensive rankings for the 2017 season for the once high-powered Florida Gators.

Total offense - 335.9 YPG (111/129)

Passing offense – 179.5 YPG (100/129)

Pass completion percentage - .558 (93/129)

Rushing offense – 156.4 YPG (78/129)

Scoring offense – 22.1 PPG (108/129)

First downs offense – 185 (122/129)

Third down conversion percentage - .325 (113/129)

Sacks allowed – 37 (123/129)

Tackles for loss allowed – 73 (105/129)

That was my point. If I'm remembering correctly, your offense was very good under Mullen.

[Angel Oracle]

I stand corrected on Manning and nat’l titles.   He left Tennessee after the 1997-1998 school year, and then Martin was the QB in the 1998 season.
