If you’re a Tennessee fan, I’ll give you two more reasons to demand Phil Fulmer’s head on a stick.

The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results. Our dry drunk president is afflicted with this illness. And the University of Tennessee’s football coach is so lacking in the creativity department that he is mimicking our dry drunk president’s failed leadership style, right down to ripping off his vapid pseudo-kamikaze slogan.

Players were mostly silent as coaches tried to motivate a team still shaken by a 59-20 loss to Florida on Saturday.

“I think you stay the course,” head coach Phillip Fulmer said of his team’s mindset following a 1-2 start. “We believe what we believe in. We’ve won a lot of games this way.”

He also shares something else with George W. Bush: shifting blame to anyone and everyone other than himself in order to save his own cowardly hide. Witness Fulmer allowing his players to take the blame for the loss to Florida:

Execution, not lack of talent or UT’s gameplan, is what cost the Vols, Karl said. And it’s what had him feeling so down Sunday and into Monday.

“We feel bad because we didn’t execute it,” Karl said. “When you get the so-called worst loss in Fulmer’s era and I was also part of the 5-6 team, it’s not something I like to be a part of. I’ve got to go tell all my family when I get older that I was part of this team. It’s not something I want to be a part of. It’s something we got to work on to turn it around and get in the right spot.”

Karl and his teammates felt like they were in the right spots Saturday. Their beef isn’t with the schemes of offensive coordinator David Cutcliffe or defensive coordinator John Chavis. The players’ assessment is that they didn’t make plays.

Impeach Fulmer!

Update 10:43 a.m. Right on cue, wide receivers coach Trooper Taylor channels a Southern cracker Republican Senator with a call to “Support our players!”

Speaking Monday at the Knoxville Quarterback Club, Taylor asked the estimated 250 in attendance to lend a helping hand.

“The Internet and talk shows are the toughest thing to overcome,”’ Taylor said.

Taylor said that a dozen of UT’s top recruits have received emails plucked from UT message boards blasting the team, the players and the coaches.

Why do you hate the University of Tennessee/America?
