The fall of TN athletics

It can be traced back to the retirement of Doug Dickey in 2002 and the hiring of Mike Hamilton. Hamilton was the assistant AD, who was promoted but his background concentrated mainly in fundraising. Instead of going out and getting a good AD, they picked needle dick Hamilton. So, here are the four main things that led to the downfall of our athletic dept, under Hamilton's watch.
1) Firing Rod Delmonico who the year before took the Vols to the College World Series.
2) Not firing Phillip Fulmer in 2005, when it was apparent he was a lard arse that couldn't recruit or coach anymore.
3) Not putting in a substantial buy out in Lane Kiffins contract in 2008 which made it easy for USC to take him.
4) Hiring Derek Dooley who is the most incompetent and idiotic coach that ever lived (4-19 record in the SEC).

How in the world did this make the list? No one gives a shite about fricking college baseball and it doesn't turn a profit.
Agreed with points 2-4.

Doug Dickey is a fricking moron. Roy Kramer retired and quit propping you guys up and covering your arse. That was the end of Tennessee.

Doug Dickey's most important attribute was keeping tNCAA away from Tennessee when Fulmer was a recruiting god. Kramer also was a man of honor and had a staunch hatred of all things Alabama.
Imo Roy Kramer was the GOAT SEC commissioner.

Let's just be honest about what the real problem was. We all know who is to blame, and since none of you bitches have the balls to say it, Goddamnit I will:
Motherfricking Barack Hussein Milhous Obama.

I see your point. I just can't get my head wrapped around firing delmonico, who was a damn good coach. You're right though, baseball doesn't turn a profit.

You have a good point. VOLS went off a cliff about the same time Obama entered the White House.

Dickey couldn't find his dick to take a piss. Kramer ran interference for UT to stay out of the NCAA doghouse.

The curse of Fatimus Fullmore and Roid Krammit.

Clint Stoener is the cause of Tennessee decline.
Had he not gave you the gift via fumble. You never make it to Arizona.
Fulmer without that ship never makes it to 2000.
Too busy playing house detective to coach or recruit.

This, Fat Phil was not satisfied that he turned Bama in for paying the same coaches that he paid to sway Albert Means. When it looked like Bama might take a hit, but not a big enough hit in his opinion, he called up the NCAA investigation, and said he would provide more information against Bama, but only if he could do it anonymously, enter the "Secret Witness", which didn't take long to identify Fat Phil being the crying bitch of Vol nation.
This was the biggest bitch move in college football history, and Tennessee deserve every bit of what they are going through now and much more.
And yes I agree Bama should had got in trouble for what they did, but fat Phil did the exact same thing, with the exact same player, and the cried about it.
Know your history Tennessee fans, and for you young Tennessee fans know that your program is the biggest bitch program in all of college football.

I believe the downfall started at the 2004 peach bowl. Went downhill from there

David Cutcliff and Peyton Manning are the only reason UT had success. After Manning, UT had that amazing season with Tee Martin and then it tanked when Cutcliffe went to Ole Miss and coached Eli Manning.
