Jerry Green gave the correct analysis 8 years ago and got fired for it.

I saw Pearl all the way. I expected the UAB coach to get the job, but after watching Pearl's Milwaukee team play, it was obvious he could coach.
I'm not sure I see Lane Kiffin.

Also, try to tone down the Foolmore stuff just a little. We get the point: you are disatisfied (to say the least) with Fulmer. While you are just venting, it does make to website an uninteresting read.
Try not to boo away too many of the recruits.

I think some of the criticism is honestly invalid.
The UCLA game was inexcusable.
But the Florida game is hard to pin on coaching. The defense held its own as well as one could expect with the offense incapable of getting a first down. Clawson tried to stick to the run game, but you just have to complete a downfield pass before they are going to get off the line of scrimmage. The punt was supposed to go to the sideline, not inside the hashmark. Substitute Colquitt and Ainge for Crompton and Cunningham and you suddenly have a competitive game I think.
The Auburn game falls 100% on Crompton's shoulders. The defense holds the other team to 6 points and the special teams pin them inside the three five times and you still can't get more than one touchdown? 67 yards passing! That isn't the coaches. That is the quarterback. CBS showed Clawson clutching his head at one point. That must be what all the coaches are feeling. They teach Crompton what to do, and he could do it all day in front of 10000 people. The problem is when he gets in front of 100,000 people on national tv.
The question becomes: should they already have benched Crompton?
The popular answer is yes. The coaches aren't stupid though. My guess is that Stephens and Coleman could come out and play better than Crompton has thus far. The coaches obviously don't think that would be good enough to win. The hope is that Crompton will get his stuff together and play in the game like he does practice. At this point it is pretty clear that isn't going to happen which is why the coaches are turning to Stephens.
I think the coaches will get things together. The problem right now is the offense, not the defense. The belief that I hear is that they have the talent, and most every "expert" that I've heard says Clawson's offense will be a beast once he gets his players in here. The season could easily be salvaged with a win over Georgia. No matter how unlikely.

I see Pennington's point. Still, change for its own sake isn't worthwhile.
Fulmer will hopefully make the needed adjustments that will allow him to continue getting to the SEC championship game.

LazhilUT-
I would hardly call UT's academic standards excellence. Maybe consistent mediocrity. Wait....
Kosmo-
Funny you should site Tubby Smith. He never failed to make it to the second round. NEVER Ol' Billy G pulled it off in his first year. Funny thing is, the team should be even worse this year. Tubby will have Minnesota in the tournament and Kentucky will be playing in the Not Invited.

Play calling on o was poor, not horrible. he short routes were not there. Crompton couldn't hit downfield, so UCLA played press coverage. Hit a couple of those passes, they have to back off and suddenly everything opens up. But why not run!! I never complained about how "conservative" the offense was. The long passes were wide open, but at some point you have to realize that you just aren't hitting them.
Crompton looked the deer in the headlights. UAB had better be a confidence builder. Anyone still wondering why Ainge was starting hurt last year?
Need some press coverage on the slot. The guy didn't have a rocket arm. Press on the inside and play off on the outside. Should force a bad quarterback to make long throws to the wings and get some passes jumped. No adjustment though.
Lincoln is worrying. Never had a strong leg (why the long field goal attempts?). But now accuracy on chippies is gone. He has been hooking or badly pulling every kick since the last few games of 07.
Bad game. Bad coaching. Beat Florida and it suddenly disappears.

Hard to believe anybody would let that happen that quickly. There have only been four days of classes so far. I can't criticize too much. I probably skipped more of me psychology class than I attended, but I didn't have SEC policy hanging over my head.
On Vinson, Langley won't make trip to UCLA after violating class attendance policy

Looks like the competition has gotten his head out of his donkey. maybe it will be a new start for him.
On Crompton admits 'I haven’t played to the best of my ability and I’ve got to get better'
