In a recent interview with the Sports Animal, Lady Vols basketball coach Holly Warlick said she will have considerable input in hiring Mason’s replacement, adding, “We have to get in better shape. We have to get basketball specific.”DISMISSED
Otherwise-- Yawn, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ,
Anybody got Scotty Hopson's phone number over across the Pond in case Jarnell declares? Shirley he is smart enought to see that he should come back for one more year of seasoning.
Haw, haw, you just gotta love guys like this moron DC82 above and of course, Woodpecker, who made the net recently with his previous slinking around down in Alabama. Thanks for letting us know that there aren't any d-linemen committed yet there Woodpecker. We couldn't have figured that one out without your keen insight.
Well that makes it unanimous then because my nerves are shot when she is in the game, hogging the ball and throwing up ridiculous, low percentage shots. Have not forgotten they took her instead of Chassidy Fussell from Obion County. All she has done is average 15 points per game for her career at texas and been an All-big 12 player for two years. Lady Vol program will be better when Simmons is outta there.
84, what a great, classic, negatron post. You da man. Worley, Gatorade National player of the year, Peterman, No. 1 QB prospect in Florida in 2011. The two running backs, Lane and Neal, combined for 1366 yards last year. Did I say you are a doltz? Defensive line, Vols have best nose tackle in the SEC and Smith and Williams will benefit greatly from going back to 4-3 front. Please find another hobby. Your absolute negativity is really tedious and boring.
Who is the braineac who posted Dobbs. Dobbs will most likely red-shirt this fall. But what a great post! And this poll, really, of the guys listed is there any doubt it's North. Carr will be a backup and get his toes in the water but no way he starts ahead of the veterans. Some of you need a football 1101 beginners class. Will add that Quinn is an interesting prospect.
Hey born2ride,If a frog had wings he wouldn't bust his arse everytime he hopped. This staff has worked their tails off. They came in behind the eight ball. Almost every kid they have offered had longtime relationships with other schools and coaches. Some of the people that post their cute, snippy comments are real fans now aren't they? A fair judgment of this staff as recruiters can't be made until signing day 2014. Until then it would be nice if some of you jerks would back off and give these men a fair chance.
Wow, who is this azzclown writing all the manifestoes here? Hey Bozo, your powerful friend, does that mean he can pick up the front end of a VW Beetle? Your rambling posts do have some comedic value but other than that, don't you have some paint you can go watch dry? I for one am sick of negatrons like you and would prefer that you go stalk politicans rather than football coaches. Just a thought!
Same old result as last year for WarLICK. Another butt kicking in the back of the pants suit! Job was handed to her on a silver platter. How long will it take before Kellie Jolly or Caldwell is called home?
Hey Adams, ever thought about running for mayor of Munchkinville? Tee Martin will never be a head coach anywhere, much less Tennessee. And his loyality to guys he's ben around less than a year, give me a break. What about those two children he fathered in Knoxville who were crushed after believing that their father was going to return to Knoxville and they could see him on a regular basis? Wish him luck, he gave Vols one good year and tht will always be appreciated. Otherwise, many of us are relieved and glad it's over.
in response to HuntsvilleVol: Nothing personal. He made a commitment and its admirable of him to honor it, unlike his boss.

Nothing personal, but I wonder how those two kids that he fathered in Knoxville and who were hoping that their Dad would now be here with them, how ya reckon they feel about right now? A commitment to those kids would have shown much more character than an excuse about commitment to guys he's only been around for one year.
Not many educated opinions above from so called media. How long has Woodpecker been in town anyway, three, four months? Climer the poarch monkey, he is boring and predictable. Ha, ha, the press does a story on the press reactions. Classic. They talk to themselves a lot don't they?
in response to Henley-Street-Bridge: No Better than Coach Dooley, in fact, probably not as good. Big opportunity to bring Fulmer back to the VOLS is over for the last time. Way to go HART (A Hart F...)

Ha, ha,ha, bring back Big Pappa Plump!! Classic! There are some people who seek to wallow in negative thought and who seek the negative before the negative has happened. Butch Jones is one of the top young coaches in the country. From the Cradle of Coaches, the MAC. Had a better record there than both urban meyer and Brian Kelly. Give it a rest Negatrons! UT football program doesn't need you.
Ha, ha, yes, bring back Chubby Checkerboard. He has experience running the program into the ground. TWo friggin SEC titles in 16 years. Ha, ha, Shirley you jest! This is really bizarre and absurd also. The Duke of Doughnuts ain't comin back.
If it's not a WOW hire, not all of us will be on board. Hire Charlie Strong and some of us will not be laughing, happy or satisfied. Somewhre between 90=95 percent of Vol fans want Gruden. Your feeble attempts at humor are, well, humorless.
Woodpecker, you are once again clueless. It's entertaining to see some of you pencil necked little geeks twist in the wind. BTW, what score was it you predicted for the UT-Ky. Game?
OMG, Woodpecker is all over this story isn't he? I don't blame Downs for wanting to flush this season out of his system. Oh, btw, what was that score you predicted for Saturday's game again there Woodpecker?
in response to jt45: Oliver should have been playing all year, he looked pretty good yesterday, certainly better than what we saw from many others this season. I know he had some injury issues for a couple of seasons, but some rumors suggest Dooley might have ignored this young mans talent on purpose.He was supposed to be a good catch out of high school, too bad his career never got a chance here. I wish him the best of luck and enjoyed watching him do his job yesterday at a cold Neyland Stadium.

Naz Oliver is a red-shirt junior, he has another season to play at UT. Who told you he was a senior,Woodpecker? BTW, do you recall that Woodpecker picked Kensucky to win the game yesterday?
Hey boys, ya'll forgot about Evan Woodpecker's prediction yesterday! Again, what sports did you play in high school there Woodpecker? Got any hot stock tips for us today? If you ever are fired from guessing at sports, maybe you could get a job with the LA Psychic Hotline!
Woodpecker is starting to remind me of that other peckerwood, that is, thankfully, gone now, Mike Griffyboy Griffin!
Ha, ha, that's funny there Woodpecker. Hey,here's a little advise, don't ever try to start a career as a football handicapper. BTW, what sports did you play in high school? BTW, Avery Williamson is from Milan Tennessee. He got no attention from the Duke of Doughnuts and Lame Kitten. He once had 23 tackles in a playoff game vs. Alcoa. Think UT could have used him this year?Tennessee 40 Kensucky 20.
How about a familiar name to replace you Adams, how about Marvin West! Cutcliffe is too old, can't recruit and is a silly option. Also, it's sickening to see That punk James Franklin's name even mentioned here. Why don't you give it a rest until Hart makes the call?
Saw a post above, I could care less what Petofilerino has done in his personal life. An Obama voter for sure, that's why the country is headed down the toilet. Hey bozo, would you let your daughter play volleyball at UT if that scumbag was the coach? And then there is the idiotic, manical Cutcliffe Beef Chavez post!!! Hey brudda, did you happen to see the end of the Bama, LSU game when third and Chavis reared it's ugly head once more. Cutcliffe recruiting as head coach, laughable. Some of these people are absolutely hilarious.
bigbigbig, What a football wizard you are! You are one of those lame brains who obviously want to keep the program in a constant state of flux, coaches coming, coaches going, strength coaches coming and going, recruiting disrupted and quality assistants afraid to come because of the gypsey mentality of fans such as this brilliant individual. But keep taling, LSU and other teams have two staffers working the net daily looking for stuff to use against the Vols in recruiting.
Dooley has not had three years. He has been in Knoxville exactly 2 years, 9 and 1/2 months. Yeah, let's hire the Duke of Doughnuts back, that's the ticket. This program has some really sorry fans. This team can still have an eight win season, send the kids into winter workouts in a great frame of mind and the staff might be able to salavage recruiting despite UT fans who are no more than pawns for teams recruiting against the Vols.
I hope a lot of you negs and bashers are gone sooner rather than later. Out to hurt the recruiting again I see. Remember Otha Peters and the Arkansas internet snoops? You probably don't care now do you? Coach Dooley ain't going anywhere and your bashing means nothing.
Alabama, ha ha, ha, they will have trouble beating Vanderbilt.
Ha, ha, what a bunch of negatrons in this thread. Hey Woody, what sport did you play in high school, chess club I bet. 19 of their 27 inteceptions came against the likes of Liberty University, South Alabama, Central Michigan, and a couple more no talent offenses. Their "great" secondary was 61st in the nation last year in pass defense, allowing 224 yards per game. Ha, ha, whine and moan, negs, whine and moan. Oh yeah, and that O'Brien he's great alright, 17-22 in the mighty ACC after five years.
Thanks for more muck raking by the drive by media. Obviously the guy wasn't let go because he was doing a terrific job with Dumbrick!
Promises, he wasn't in Knoxville long enough to steal a laptop, much less have promises broken. Did he think he was going to be first team at TB when he walked on campus? Hey here's an idea for Landry and Bourque, get a job and support your child and baby mammy.
Who is the bigger crybaby, Adams or that self centered little jerk, Wes Rucker. Get over yourselves, you clowns are the worst college media in the nation and you have earned that richly deserved distinction. What't the matter, utsports.com beating you to the punch too much.
Yawn, ZZZZZZZ, yawn again, a must win against a mediocre ACC team whose coach has a losing record in that conference after five years at the school. Underwhelming. Tennessee 38, NCST. 10.
Beautiful, Quinn the Eskimo, just another twerp with a keyboard. But on the bright side boy, you fit right in with the worst college media in the conuntry. How's uncle Jimma HiYams today? This piece was totally unneccesary. did you get collaboration from anyone else at FSU. No. didn't thing so. Another pathetic loser added to the roster of the sorry excuse for media.
Downs would have played more tight end this year than Clear anyway. Downs has much potential at 6-5 1/2, 255, 4.65. Tennesse has kickers, someone will step up during practice this month. Bray threw some beer bottles, big whoop.
Would love to narc out Boy Kiffin and Special Ed. Ax the UCLA folks if they would turn in a rival school! LOL
Hey Adams, have you checked their roster losses from last season? Three senior receivers including one that was the all-time ACC record holder in kick return yardage. An All-ACC tight end is gone. All three starting linebackers are gone. Quarterback is a statue, not very mobile at all. They lost some linemen too. Vols win by 17-20 points!
Nice work, lazy, but nice. NC State lost three starting linebackers, defensive tackles and three senior wide receivers. Ever heard of doing a little reserch there Johnny? Result, not a swing game, easy Tennessee win. Missouri's pass defense was 94th in the nation last year, ever do any research there Johnny? And that was before they lost two senior defensive tackles and a senior defensive end. Can you say no pass rush?Lazy sports writers are a dime a dozen these days.
One of the great and most idiotic statements in the history of this site, home runs don't make a difference. Haw, haw, what about gap shots and line drives down the foul lines? One shouldn't comment about softball if one has no clue. Anemic offense, no lock down pitcher who can shutout the other team equals two and out at the WS. Too many weak hitters in the lineup and slap happy Ralph is not much punkin as an offensive coach.
in response to rtrchatt: Hogs have enough highlights from last yrs UT game to keep the locals happy. My favorite was the keystone cops trying to make a tackle on the punt return.....

Don't know whether to issue a Negatron alert here or a clown alert. Could be both. Hey Einstein, Joe Adams returned kicks for touchdowns against better teams that Tennessee over the past three years. You can see him on Sundays next fall returning kicks in the NFL. I bet you are a real sweetheart aren't you?
Terrific idea. Junction Boys - Light. Any out of the box thinking like this that will help is a positive.
Haw, haw, seven in a row against an Alabama program that was absolutely decimated. While Big 'Un was piling up those wins, the three coaches at Gump U, Dumbose, Francisoni and Baby Shula were rocking along to a composite record of 67-54, so it would appear others were pounding on Bammer too. But the hall found that a losing record against Spurrier, Meyer, Richt, Miles Saban and Tuberville was OK. Here's some more Flummo highlights:Here's some more great Tubas highlights:1994 Citrus Bowl-- Routed by Joe Pa and Penn St. 31-131998-Orange Bowl-- Destroyed by Nebraska 42-172000-Fiesta Bowl- Another Husker beatdown 31-212001 Cotton Bowl-- Smoked by Kansas State 35-212002 Peach Bowl- Absolutely embarassed by MerryLand 30-32004 Peach Bowl-- Slapped upside the head by Clem's Son 27-142007 Outback Bowl- Another loss to a mediocre Penn State team 20-10. And finally the coup da gras, the game I consider to be the most embarassing loss in history, a 13-7 homecoming defeat at the hands of a Wyoming team that finished the season with a grand total of three victories.
Why is it always complaining about the seeding. They did get jobbed last year, but not this year. Florida beat them 3 our of 4 games this season. UT has one of the easiest regionals and potential super regional in the tournament. Now, if Ralph can just learn how to coach third base. They won't go anywhere scoring 3 runs in 15 innings!
Haw, haw, you won't be excited about this staff for very long. Also, to the poster above who mentioned to wait and see how Hollwee does, she was the head game coach this year, how'd that work out? Terrible choice by the administration and it's going to be bad or even worse. While teams like Kentucky, South Carolina and Arkansas are on the rise, Tennessee slips badly with WarLICK at the helm.
Might as well get used to it. Handing the program to WarLICK was a monumental mistake and what happened yesterday is no anomoly. Word to Kellie Jolly Harper and Nikki Caldwell, keep honing your head coaching skills, you will be called on to rebuild Tennessee women's basketball in the next two to three years.
in response to OldVols68: Correctly stated by others: no talent + lousy coaching (remember the LSU game 2 yrs ago? -- the ending???) = no rewards That said Lane Kiffin sure did did mess up the Vols for a long time to come...I just hope he gets his due in time.

Ha, ha, lousy fan support from football ignorant, arse clowns like you!
The last two drafts demonstrate clearly what a miserable job of recruiting Moby Phil did the last years of his tenure. Good luck to BJ.
in response to SevenT: You are judging a 30 year coaching career Fulmer had as an assistant and head Coach by 1 bad season. That is unrealistic. Sometimes you don't know what you had until it is gone.

What a doltz. Big Pappa Plump had two losing seasons in his last four. He won two SEC championships in 16 friggin years. This draft fiasco was a direct result of his lousy recruiting as were the last four years of Vol football. He barely had a .500 record against teams that finished seasons with a winning record. If he is such a great coach, why hasn't anyone hired him after he lobbied for several jobs? Moron
Why no mention of the fact that he coached Tennessee's offensive line 1977-79?
This will have zero impact on the season, sorry to those who make this bigger than it really is. And btw, his grades are bad and he might not be eligible to play if he does transfer.
Who is Jerry Palmprint and why should we care? Is he just another pencil-necked geek, non-athlete who decides to demonstrate how ignorant he is and showing how little he knows about the UT football program and the obvious progress that will be made this season.
