Haven't been to their boards but I can imagine. They have gone from National Champion and perrenial New Year's Day Bowl team, to a little better than average SEC team. Like a lot of coaches, Fulmer set the bar high for himself in the first few years but hasn't been able to maintain that type of success. A ton of teams would like to be where they are but I think the bottom line is what so many of us fear....
Are we just stagnant and not willing to take a chance and jump start this program again? I was pumped about Franklin and realistically thought it was a 2 year deal at best. I thought it would be cool to do something wild and different for a year or two and catch teams off guard. So far, it's teams like LSU that are throwong halfback passes and doing on sides kicks. I think UT fans want new life.
