I think all here will agree, that it was inevitable that CPF had to be fired for UT to compete with the hired guns of Bama and Florida. No doubt that Nick Saban is probably the best COLLEGE fb coach in the nation today. The jury is certainly out on Meyer, because of the downturn in FSU an Miami. Is there any doubt that Meyer's victories have come because of the huge talent pool in the state of Florida? I mean what guy could actually keep on running the antiquated veer without superior talent? I told coach Dickey one time 15 years ago that I would support the Vols in a worm wrestle if it were a sport! I still hate to see us go the way of the mercenary Bama and Florida fans. That's probably what hurts the sentimental types of East Tennesseans that grew up watching all things Vol the most.Fulmer was truly "Orange blooded" Tennesse. Hopefully, Kiffin will be too, one day, I hope.The AD is responsible for ticket sales and has to make sure budgets are met in a fiscaly responsible manner. Sentimentality doesn't play well in this ol world anymore, not even in E TN. But that's the way those things go. Go Vols!

On Hamilton's letter to UT fans on hiring of Kiffin

Thanks for the memories coach. I guess this year was a time for change, maybe overdue. I thought your statement was made off the cuff and very appropriate and very revealing to the insecurities of many of the posters here about their true feelings. Lol! Only an insecure knucklehead(and there are many of those loonies that post here) would blame you for your comments after the severe treatment from a minority of fairweather Vol fans. May heaven help the next coach win at all costs.Tennessee football will never be the same with your leaving coach, and I for one, will never take your efforts for granted.

Class act to the end, coach. Most of the time, fairy tale finishes are left for the authors of children's stories. I wish you well and much sucess in you and your families future plans. Your teams of the past have given me much pleasure, especially that chilly nite in Tempe. For once,that nite, as a longtime faithful Vol fb supporter, raising my index finger meant something ultimately special! Thank you, coach.

Sorry, I was so excited about Kiffin's prospects that I forgot to check my spelling(not that anyone other than the diehard fans will even read this post!)

Brian Billick, the ex Raven coach would be an excellent hire. He's experienced and tough and still vacations in Crossville during the summer. I bet he would enjoy the challenge.

On Meyer says 'people sniffing around' coaching staff

Great. I guess that means you'll be out this way soon. We'll have to get together, maybe a little golf? Any clues or leanings to who the next coach is gonna be?

On New coach isn't on players' radar

Go away scaley lizard. Get your kicks feasting on your old ball coach's innards. Nothing better than a little beer batter, fried gator tail,smothered in a little tabasco. You and your ilk's day is coming. It will happen, wait and see.
