Ok It is past time that the university raise the stakes on its policies in regards to punishment handed down. Richt at GA suspended players but that doesn't work because it has happened to 10 different players in the past 12 months.
I want to see a championship team but these kind of stupid mistakes does not show a champion mentality among the players. Distractions such as these which seem to appear every weekend show a lack of focus by the players.
Maybe it is time to put a curfew on the whole team, along with the runs at midnight and 6am. If they break that then something even more sever. Maybe wear a shirt to their classes that states front and back, that they make stupid decisions and are an embarrassment to the university.

Sayonara Vince. Walk-ons will be sacrificed at dawn. (Not first team all-SEC linemen, starters or promising freshmen.) That's the first lecture at the Houston Nutt School of Discipline.

I'm telling you this is more than a case of "bad timing". I could overlook one or two little issues. But five in one month? Phil is backsliding and I thought 2004 had taught him a lesson. The lack of discipline during that time was a precursor and prime contributor to the 2005 debacle. As I recall, it was 21 incidents in 17 months then. Five in a month is a pretty good start in trying to beat that record.

But aside from Phil, where is the player leadership on this team? Evidently there is none and that concerns me as much as the coach lightening up again.

Tennessee football coach Phillp Fulmer suspended walk-on player Vince Faison on Saturday for the first two games of the 2008 season following Faison's arrest for DUI this weekend.

"Vince has embarrassed himself and his team. We expect all our players - scholarship or walk-on - to be good citizens," said Fulmer in a UT release. “Any breaking of a law is serious. A DUI is a very serious offense. Vince will be suspended for two games and required to undergo alcohol evaluation and counseling in addition to other internal punishments.”

Fulmer has suspended for drinking before though:

"Freshman punter Britton Colquitt, brother of All-America punter Dustin Colquitt, has been indefinitely suspended from the team, coach Phillip Fulmer said. The Daily Beacon student newspaper reported that Colquitt was caught Saturday by campus police with a can of beer outside a fraternity house. It was his third arrest in less than seven months for underage possession of alcohol, the newspaper said."

I'm so friggen tired of reading these post by some of you idiots who keep blaming "Foolmer" and the institution for the actions of these kids and young adults! This crap is going on at virtually every institution across the country and not just with football players, ie. Memphis basketball for one example, but with the general student population. Normal students just don't get their names in the KNS when they get caught. Now, I'm not saying this is right or good, but just the times we live in. Unfortunately, these "athletes' we worship on Saturday are recruited because they are good on the field and not because they are good, mature people. Rivals or any of the other recruiting services doesn't give them an extra star because the attended church every Sunday and are an asset to their community. You guys need to make up your minds. Do you want great players who win national championships, or great citizens who are an asset to the university but will lose 8 to 10 games a year (see Duke)? I'm not sure we can have both in every player. Sad, but the facts of life. Go Vols!

stay the course give him an extension and raise and lets keep him another 10 years because we know he has one more sec championship in him because at some point all the other teams will feel sorry for him and let us win an sec CG.....

I have stated numerous times that kids will be kids and Fulmer has done what he can..
However, this is getting ridiculous and our football players DO NOT GET IT!!

I get tired of defending my alma mater saying "IT happens everywhere else too.." There was an article last week or so about UT and Parker incident.

We have a serious issue at the Hill guys and I don't know the answer. I said there would be more incidents after Parker but was wishing for the best.

I dare anyone to say this is a kid being a kid or
it happens everywhere or the program is not in disarray. IT IS!!

This kid could have killed himself or someone else on the road!

After all the supposedly harsh meetings FUlmer has conducted recently these kids either don't care of think fulmer is fool of....
what is the answer? I don't know but how embarrassing ..

OleTDTN - what did you do now? Obviously you are a victim of CPFs lack of institutional control. If you were getting your posts pre-screened by Phil personally this would not have happened. I guess you got in trouble because Phil was busy checking out the Friday night plans for all 100 players and following them around to make sure they didn't get into trouble. Sorry you got into trouble, just run a mile or two and you are banned from posting for two games this fall. But good to see you back under a new alias.

airforce one- as much as it kills me you are correct. UT's rep is going down the toilet.

We were known as a top 10 team each year until about 02 or 03. We haven't been in the mix for a possible natl title game since 01 and
then the off the field issues occurred or at least been magnified by the media.

Two or three years ago we had 12 arrests...
Last year we had a couple but nothing too horrible that I can recall (coker kicked off team)
but now 5 incidents in the past 45 days?

I do not know the answer but MOST teams are not having as many issues as we are .....even if they are it is ridiculous.

This guy is a WALK ON people. He isn't even SCHOLARSHIP. This could very well be ME that we are talking about here, if I weren't 20 lbs overweight annd thirty-five years old.

Fulmer probably BARELY knows who this kid is, let alone keeps tabs on his doings in and around campus. Fulmer isn't the boss of this kid, and this kid couldn't care less if he is "suspended" for games or not...(He undoubtedly won't play anyway) I say kid, hell he's a GROWN MAN.

This is a non story. Period.

Gainesville turned into a hot spot for college coaches earlier this week when Phillip Fulmer of Tennessee and Notre Dame’s Charlie Weis flew into town to court the Red Elephants’ **Keith Wells.”

“I’ve been coaching 11 years, and Wednesday was about the craziest day I’ve ever seen,” Gainesville assistant coach Todd Wofford said. “I’d never seen a [college] team do what Tennessee did. They sent just about their whole staff to our school and they were there from 8 a.m. until 5:15 p.m. It was all day.

“It was like they were Keith’s shadow. Two coaches would walk him from class to class. Fulmer showed up about 2 p.m. They stayed for track practice then went to his house.

“Then about 7:30 p.m., Charlie Weis showed up at his house.”

Wells, who is on a recruiting visit to Notre Dame this weekend, is scheduled to announce his college choice on 11:30 a.m. on Monday.

“It’s really between Ohio State and Tennessee,” Wofford said. “Keith is just checking out Notre Dame. He really didn’t think Tennessee was going to be in the mix until he went up there two weeks ago.”

Wells, a defensive end, had originally committed to Florida State in August. He backed off that commitment last month.

You nailed the problem. If Fulmer's neice got a DUI, it would be in the papers. Just as Britney Spears' public meltdown is making headlines. Who's fault is that? It's OUR fault as consumers for proliferating tabloid journalism, and it's the MEDIA'S fault for not reporting on the real news.

Yes, it's a black eye on the program, but not because of ANYTHING Fulmer has done. It would be a black eye on my FAMILY if my neice or nephew got busted for drugs, but I would think no less of my brother/sister if it happened because those kids are old enough to make their own mistakes and take the fall for them.

Just curious. What does everyone think should be done to stop the discipline problems?

I liked the idea Adams had of having to run at midnight 6 nights in a row on a first offense while the offender stands and watches. Personally, I would rather them wake em up at 0500...it will hurt just a little more. The true leaders of the team will step forward and start "straightening out" the attitudes then.

Correction from within the ranks. It works in the military and it can work for UT football.

Players, scholarhip and walkon, have to be smart enough to understand the media is watching them. As for the KPD and UTPD going after UT football players, I find that a stretch. Unless the kid has a personalized tag or some other distinguishing mark on his car or truck indicating he's an athlete, the law enforcement people are just doing their job when they stop a car that's driving questionably.

Don't blame the cops or Phillip Fulmer. If the kids aren't doing anything wrong, they don't have anything to worry about.

If Phil really wanted to get tough, he could tell the players," If your arrested and it holds up, your off the team" and stick by it. We would have a few departures but they would get the message pretty quickly and shape up. Too harsh? Well if I get a dui, I'm fired so I don't get dui's. Real discipline works.

VOL1994 at 10:08 you said nobody would write a story about a 26 year old walk on well here you go, this was in the tennessean this morning(sunday): Tennessee defensive back Vince Faison has been suspended for the first two games of the season after being arrested for DUI during the weekend, the university has announced. Faison is a walk-on and is not on scholarship.
"Vince has embarrassed himself and his team," UT Coach Phillip Fulmer said in a statement. "We expect all our players – scholarship or walk-on – to be good citizens. Any breaking of a law is serious. A DUI is a very serious offense. Vince will be suspended for two games and required to undergo alcohol evaluation and counseling in addition to other internal punishments." Faison, 26, spent the last eight years playing minor league baseball before enrolling at UT in January. The arrest was the fourth police incident since Jan. 11 involving a UT football player. Freshman receivers Gerald Jones and Ahmad Paige were cited for possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor. Freshman offensive lineman William Brimfield was also in the car, as was a high school student who was in town for a recruiting visit. Brimfield and the high school student were not cited. A week later, freshman running back Daryl Vereen was arrested and charged with public intoxication. Last weekend, junior offensive lineman Anthony Parker was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct.
The only player Fulmer has suspended is Faison. The disciplinary action Fulmer handed out to the others included community service at a drug rehab facility, participation in police ride-alongs, curfews and more frequent drug tests.

Agreed, this doesn't help the Vol image. I wish there was some magic fairy dust to make them all angels. However I also find it laughable on the Fulmer blame game. For some, Fulmer will never make the right decision with any action he takes, just because your blinded hatred of the man. One poster on here a couple of weeks ago blamed Fulmer for Dwayne Goodrich’s demise down in Texas… HUH

(Please excuse the comparison) The USMC trains Marines to be hard, mentally tough, etc. We have ANNUAL (you military guys will know what I mean!) barrage of sensitivity, sexual harassment, avoidance of Alcohol/Drug abuse training, as well as quarterly training stand-downs to ensure the message is clear etc… However, military members all manage to get in trouble for the very issues they were trained on. Why? Because sometimes they make poor decisions. I am a prime example; got in trouble in my youth, survived, worked hard, and had a productive military career, first enlisted and now a senior Officer. Point being, no matter how much training etc. is passed, bad things can happen. You speak of Kiner, Hacksaw, Robinson, and Jones’ off field antics. Can you imagine if they had to deal with today’s press/internet!?

Rarely are Fulmer’s success stories and giving kids a second chance mentioned. Jason Respert (on a UF recruiting visit no less), Mark Jones (mischief), Peyton Manning (Harassment/showing his A$$ to a female trainer), J.T. Mapu (punching someone; and we all know what a wonderful Young Man he is, and what he and his family have endured in life..). But I believe these folks went on to be very good students, productive citizens, and good men in general. Of course the good situations we only hear or see minimal coverage (if at all), but isn’t that just typical? It will only appear once, and never discussed again, unlike this article that will be run over and over again like roadkill.

Some of You speak of close ties to the University Hierarchy, etc. Then YOU know the Staff and Athletic Dept constantly trains and attempts to prepare these kids for things that can happen to them off the field. Do they listen? Not always, just like the situation with the military personnel listed above… The discipline in most cases is appropriate. Not condoning the behavior, just saying you can’t blame the Coach for everything.

Finally, to the poster that keeps referring to OUR coach as FOOLmer, talking about doughnuts etc. You speak of your wise old age, but you act like you are 12. We know you hate the man, you always have/will. Your daily rants are more unbecoming to the University then Fulmer will ever be. WE understand, you hate the Coach, now give it a rest. Please let folks that come here to read additional comments that have insight to the story do just that. "Most" don’t want to read your venomous crap, especially when we have only a short period to check the internet each day. To the rest of you, I apologize for the long post.

As you can see, any stand that you take which throws a positive light upon the football program and it's head coach will bring out the cretins in droves (see THE_VOL above and in practically every post he has ever made).

Your 8:11 a.m. post shows that you actually pay attention to what goes on, and has gone on in the past, within the football program. And you seem to recognize what Fulmer has been able to accomplish in terms of taking some of these aggressive young men and turning their energy toward more-appropriate ends.

You only get one game suspension for DUI at Georgia. I don't hear the Dawg lovers down here in Georgia blaming Richt and calling for the players to be released from the team. http://www.ajc.com/sports/content/pri...
