Players are usually pissed when their coach bolts. But not the Tennessee players. They seem happy for Cuonzo Martin. That’s interesting.

Who's wondering? It's clearly a combination of Fulmer's post 2001 laziness leading to decreasing talent and increasing thugishness in our recruiting classes. This, coupled with the UT fanbases high expectations led to the premature firing of one of our best coaches in history, only a year separated from winning the East. We hired Lane Kiffin, who pulled a total dick move, decimating our recruiting classes, increasing attrition, and putting us in a hole. This is where the disjunction of the AD, Chancellor, and boosters began to take its toll. The right hire would've helped, but Kiffin's treatment of UT made it seem like the UT job was far less desirable than it really was, leading us to settle for an AD from La Tech who hadn't had a winning record in the MAC. In his three years, he destroyed in-state recruiting ties, coached terribly, had what seemed like 20 different staff members take jobs at other schools, blamed the players for losses, and made Tenn a laughing stock of the SEC.
Instability, attrition, coaching changes, and no cooperation between the AD, UT Gov, and Boosters. That's why we've been mediocre in football.
