			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I watched the end of the Phillip Fulmer era last night with mixed emotions. Coach Fulmer is a good man. I send my best wishes to him and his beautiful family. The last game of the season still didn&#8217;t show any attempts at anything new. Compton did complete a nice long pass. But the &#8220;G-gun&#8221; was still predictable.  Unfortunately Eric Berry didn&#8217;t get another interception or two. I find myself feeling bad for Coach Clawson, the new kid on the block who I feel didn&#8217;t get to show his stuff. I find myself thinking that the game changed and Coach Fulmer didn&#8217;t try to change with it. Too bad there isn&#8217;t some sort of refresher course for head coaches.</p>
<p>As one chapter of Tennessee Football comes to an end, a new one is about to begin. I have a gut feeling we are going to do what I call the &#8220;Bama Dance&#8221; before we are National Championship caliber again. I moved back to Alabama at the beginning of Mike DuBose&#8217;s time as head coach for the Crimson Beast. In the ten year period, they have gone through six coaches (if you count Joe Kines) to get where they are today &#8211; a true contender. Love him or hate him, Nick Saban put respect back into their program. I think the Vols are going to have a few turbulent years ahead of them. People will sit back and say I told you so, you shouldn&#8217;t have fired Fulmer, yada, yada yada. It&#8217;s going to be a bumpy road and I&#8217;m afraid that Lane Kiffin doesn&#8217;t know how to &#8220;drive&#8221; in the SEC. (It should be noted, I hadn&#8217;t read Ron Higgin comments &#8220;<a href="ttp://www.govolsxtra.com/news/2008/nov/27/higgins-kiffin-unqualified-be-coach-vols/" target="_blank">Kiffin unqualified to coach Vols</a>&#8221; until after I started my own ramblings). Should the next head coach come from the Southeast and understand what SEC smash mouth football is all about, you betcha. But what do I know?</p>
