I thought this was a joke, Photoshop or something. Couldn't believe anyone could be that ignorant or have so little self-awareness that they'd walk around looking like that. I knew the guy was an idiot from day 1, but didn't realize he was completely hopeless.

The most idiotic part was the school got fined because he was wearing it wrong.

I'm not really sure how Fulmer was duped into making that decision. I don't have any evidence but it's pretty clear that he was played like a fine violin by bammer. They tried everything they could to derail Fulmer as a coach, even through the legal system, and failed. Mainly because they thought he was the one behind the getting axed by the NCAA (he probably was). Coupled with kicking their asses nearly every year.

Welp, they got him. Pruitt threw his hat in the ring, because he and where his loyalty lies had a plan. Sent a coach who wasn't even close to being qualified, whose agenda was to destroy UT program for many more years to come and get paid millions to do it. The goal was to suck so badly, be fired from UT without cause to receive even more milions and millions and return to Bama as an assistant.

The fortunate part for UT is Pruitt and bammers plan back fired when he got caught cheating. The unfortunate part for Fulmer is that it completely ruined his reputation and legacy at UT and at least bammer accomplished that part.

You'll likely just call me a conspiracy theorist. All you got to do is read the ever so sad Albert Means story and countless others.

Technically he succeeded if his mission was to destroy us

Why would you say this? We are 10-2 this year, he obviously failed.

He did absolutey give us one of our worst seasons on record though, so he has that going for him.

No Bammers as head coach ever again. Please. Bill Battle, Jeremy Pruitt. Garbage.

Being a “bammer” has nothing to do with their success level here. Contrary to what most believe, all coaches want to succeed. You have horrible, mediocre and great coaches and that’s it.

I will probably always view that period of time in UT history as the price of overzealous fan involvement.

How many coaches turned UT down after the Schiano fiasco until Pruitt, not counting Gruden? 9 or something like that? Nobody else wanted the job back then. The worst coaching search in the history of coaching searches.

And don't think it didn't effect Pruitt's ability to hire assistants, plus there was the damage to recruiting, especially that season. Pruitt is ruined after the bag of money incident but he had a tough battle to win. The same with Dooley given the timing of his hire. Cards were stacked against both.

Did you not see any of the games while he was here? That wasn't a one time thing.

I think Fulmer thought Pruitt was someone he could easily control and would take his suggestions and he'd be able to meddle freely in the operation of the team and it'd be just like the good ole days.

It's hard to keep track because all of the coaches that hit lows in different areas. Losing to kentucky after beating them for 20 30 straight years or losing to vandy back to back years or most points giving up. Back to back losing seasons by Dooley hadn't been done in over 100 years. A long list of failing product between like 4 coaches...
