FULMER: TOAST (ROAST?); KNS: DROWSY

The reason that dumbass John Adams isn’t scooping this is because he’s currently on the air on his radio show while this is transpiring. Funny enough, he got his information and broke the story based on Chris Low’s report.

…I think we’re about to have our own Callahan/Dubose/Shula/Willingham moment in Big Orange Country.

Krispy Kreme in Knoxville is having a meeting later this morning to lay off workers due to this news. More at 11…

I think the only thing that can save the Krispy Kreme is the hiring of Mark Mangino. Therefore – Mangino for HC!

So who do they hire? I’d love to see the Orgeron get another bite at the SEC apple. There’s also a rumor that Willingham won’t be busy soon…and there’s always at least ONE Bowden out there looking to coach. Or perhaps Cutcliffe? Please God, let it be Cutcliffe…

The next person to mention Butch Davis to me gets punched in the mouf. No. No no no no no.

ITS A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE

@ #1

No [NAME REDACTED] in that list?

….and what of the Fulmer Cup? Does it get a new name? Retired?

Think of the kids before you answer that.

Holly, Coach Fran is available. So, so available.

@ #6- He had his chance here and thieved away our playbook. Don’t wish that kind of black evil magic on us, Ollie..

No peremptory “Boom” hopes? Jesus if Ty Willingham gets this job I’m not sure whether to laugh at UT’s stupidity or sympathize with Ty.

Holly, I understand about coach of your childhood, I was a sophomore at Alabama when Coach Bryant retired, then passed.

However, I have to admit to a bit of schadenfreude on this. It really couldn’t have happened to a more deserving individual.

1. - I think the name stays – the confusion that would reign if it changed…..

I hear that Bobby Petrino, while not available, is willing to consider leaving to help. He has the jet fueled up and ready to chat, in fact!

Alabama atop the polls…
Fulmer out…
Tubs losing to Ole Miss…

Best. Monday. Ever.

Going to be wierd not having the great pumpkin raoming the sidelines next year for UT….

@13 and Florida THUMPS UGA in the WLOCO.

Delicious, delicious schadenfreude.

• roaming…

ok people, let’s just nip this fran crap in the bud. the last thing i want in this world is having to behold his unctious visage each week ever again. its not even worth having the opportunity to destroy his team on an annual basis. send him to the wac or something but keep him as far from the sec as possible.

Dennis Franchione! Dennis Franchione! Dennis Franchione!

Tubberville likes orange; would be an easy transition.

YARRRRRR! The WWL just suggested our beloved pirate leader, Mike Leach, as a possible successor.

It can’t be Mangino. If you are going progressively fatter yet, then who would follow Mangino? That is impossible.

John Cooper is from Tennessee. He is available and could lead your charges for a few years until better candidates become available. He can’t beat your rival, but will keep your Fulmer Cup hopes alive.

Holly, please share with us the bottom name on your acceptable future head coach list, so we know where you and the Eric Berry nation are setting the bar at.

Buck, Michigan isn’t on UT’s schedule any time soon, so it COULD work..

Rawk, I’m no help right now. Everyone I want falls squarely in the “never gonna happen” column. (Mike Gundy AND Trooper Taylor! Package deal! Kittens and unicorns and rainbow sunsets!)

Please let it be Jim Donnan……

Why is no one mentioning Mike Archer or Curley Hallman? Both have tremendous experience in the SEC, which Kiffin and Davis can’t even begin to claim. Both have been around winners (meaning, they coached against Spurrier and Stallings). Both already know their way around a Golden Flake endorsement deal so that won’t distract them. What’s the hold up Holly?

Sure, Tommy West would listen if his alma mater called; Memphis may yet go to another bowl game this year!

sjs1959

Even Cooper could beat this years version. After living thru the Cooper years, the schadenfreude is nearly too much to bear. BTW, he was hired in the first place BECAUSE he beat Michigan in the Rose Bowl while at Arizona State.

Enjoy your bottomless schadenfreude lunch buffet, folks.

You aren’t the only one, Holly. My good friend who loves the Orange is in that same boat. This could be the only coaching change that brings sites like hirecoachwhoever.com to the internet. This appears to be super-cereal to you guys.

Spurrier is from Tennessee, and his hiring would at least reverse one SEC loss every year.

And I know they are long shots, but I’d love to see Rick Neuheisel or Dennis Erickson in the SEC for pure entertainment value alone.

Steve Spurrier.

Please take Cutcliffe back. Duke verging on competence is destroying too many worldviews.

Don’t forget, Coach Fran is undefeated in Neyland – and he could start tomorrow.

Mike the Pirate as head coach, the Ogeron as DC, and New-weasel as OC/QB coach/lead guitar.

I was taking a dump last week in the men’s room at the copper cellar in Knoxville.. long story short, Spurrier came in, washed his hands and farted. Just sayin’……

I’m still in Coach Fulmer’s corner, and I think Jonathon Crompton is a fine young quarterback who should be played as much as possible.

Signed, Steve S.
(hmm, no, that’s too obvious)
S. Spurrier

DickRod is checking his buyout clause as we speak.

Thank God this is finally over.

Thanks also for the revelation that I’m not the only person in the world using the phrase “simpering buffoon” to describe John Adams. No buffoon, and I mean NO buffoon, simpers like John Adams. Kudos to Chris Low.

Hide the razors, on the off chance that they make the 100% reliable decision to HIRE FROM WITHIN!

Hey, I hear Parallelogram-Head might be available. The Windbreaker style is so comfy, yet professional.

Thank your for tuning in to KTLA News at 10. I’m Slap Beefchest.

In our top story, a young blond woman with fabulous hair is in custody tonight. Police arrested her this afternoon as she staggered down the 405 wearing only one shoe and a heavily soiled Tennessee Volunteers football jersey. Jack Tungsten has more.

Thanks, Slap. LAPD has identified this woman, Holly Anderson, as the woman seen in this video. As you can see, she is clearly in a state of drunken euphoria as she throws bottles of something she later called “corn likker” and flashes her bare behind at passing vehicles.

Her words are slurred and she speaks in a thick Southern accent, Slap, but I believe she is screaming, “Death to the Fat Man” and “Fulmer can suck my dick.” We’re not sure what she’s referring to here.

Police have sedated the young woman, saying she kept trying to kiss every black officer and saying, “You look like Eric Berry. Give mama some sugar.” Police have not been able to identify this “Eric Berry,” though we assume he works in some capacity with the Securities and Exchange Commission because she kept chanting, “SEC, SEC.”

Anderson has not yet been charged, but police expect to charge her with drunk and disorderly, public nudity, misdemeanor vandalism and threatening a federal official.

Reporting live from police headquarters, I’m Jack Tungsten. Back to you, Slap.

Find the best DIAA or DII coach you can.

If y’all don’t hire either Cutcliffe or Jim Grobe, well, y’all just must not want to win.

Cutcliffe brought you whatever offensive competence/relevance you’ve had, and Grobe’s been winning with pencil shavings for years.

It’s a sad day for me to think about Rocky Top without the Fat Man.

We could almost always count on his sphincter being set to “Diamond Production” for the annual Florida game, and his coaching decisions were always fun to analyze.

He was fun to taunt, and fun to watch when the Vols were melting down. If Spurrier, redfaced and pissed as hell throwing his visor, represents pure coaching rage at it’s maximum level, Phat Phil at his worst was probably about a “2”…. kind of like when I go out to get my Sunday paper and find that it’s wet.

Not to too our own horn (of course that means I will) but TSIB scooped the living hell out of e’erbody by posting it last week.

Well said.

Whether it was time for him to go or not, the teams reaction at the press conference says a lot.

We’ll see just how much this firing impacts the Vols (and for how long).

Joe Kinessssssssssss!!!! FTW
