    He gave Fulmer an 8-win auto-extension. How much more supportive could he be? Fulmer took one of the most experienced and senior-heavy teams UT has ever fielded and achieved two of the worst losses in program history.

    That 2005 defense was national champion quality. All-time national champion quality.

    An offseason that inspired the Fulmer Cup and shaky at best QB situation result in 5-6.

    I wonder how many pre season top 5 teams have finished below .500.

    I talked mad shit that entire offseason. Lesson learned.

    As you should have. There was no reason for that 2005 team to be as bad as it was.

    I did too until I got back to school and saw a practice where Rick couldn't get the ball 30 yards and Ainge was lost

    I agree completely regardless of his current situation. He's definitely deserving of being in the HOF.

    He should have been fired after one of the Peach Bowl losses.

    Exactly. The second half of the LSU game showed what they were capable of. Too bad that was the only shot fired all year.

    There was a lot more to it than that. The Athletic Department wasn't able to come through with the assistant coaches raises that they were promised for the '04 season after firing Buzz. To retaliate, the coaches began shitting on Fulmer and calling his hand at all times. One of the most widely circulated incidences was when the lummox John Chavis told CPF to "get the [uck fay] outta my huddle!" on the sidelines at the UF game.

    '99 Arizona tried to, but they ended up 6-6 (which is what our '05 team would've done had we scheduled a 12th game against MTSU like they did)

    MTSU beat Vandy in 2005, so definitely no guaranteed with the Blue Raiders.
