Now this raises an interesting question...Kentucky is perceived as a graveyard for coaching careers, but Paul Finebaum while an idiot makes a GREAT point...and I cant help but think what about Tennessee...what makes UT better than UK where they punish winners?

Since 1969, the only Tennessee coach to avoid getting fired is Lane Kiffin, who left for USC.

I thought officially Fulmer retired. Albeit under pressure but still.

So what are our chances? I thought our guys would rally behind Joker, that's still kind of TBD. But do the UT players have anything to play for or not? Does Dooley not coaching help or hurt their motivation or have Bray et al just plain quit?
