Losing Cut was definitely a huge loss to TN but then it was Ole Miss's gain which I enjoyed. I hated to see him leave Ole Miss.
Both Fulmer and Cutt are a really nice people and maybe that is part of the problem, maybe they are too nice, not hard line enough.
I just know as a UT graduate I like to win as much as any, but get no enjoyment in coach bashing. I have been there done that job and unless you have, it is very hard.
You never know if your team is going to show up to play. Are they still thinking about some girl they broke up with, a test they failed, too much to drink, drugs, everything except the game. They may be on the field, but is their mind there too.
I also respect anyone regardless of weight or intelligence and find the Fat Phil jokes crude. I am sure many will say oh it's done in fun, where is the humor in putting someone down. Sorry I have never seen it, never will.
Some years other teams, especially in the SEC, are just better than UT. I can accept that and still support "my" team.
