You're missing the point. I'm far from a Fulmerite, but I know that post was grossly exaggerated and tweaked to only show one side.

My post wasn't directed at you. It's just a comment about the posts by obsessed Fulmerites. They get their panties all bunched when anybody says anything bad about Fulmerini.

lol, stealing from a four year old fluff piece on SB Nation. Priceless.

That would be incorrect. Unless they were stealing themselves. Fact being, that part of Tennessee football history is hardly ancient, it's well documented and easy to google. But not much said that didn't bring the masses to my singular point. Majors was run out of Knoxville by a giant pumpkin.

And an attitude problem, heightened by a drinking problem. But let's not split hairs

I've got Google too... and other sources. As I understand it, thats just not what happened. Not going to say Fulmer wasn't opportunistic, but he was hardly coordinating a conspiracy. Basically, Johnny lit the fuse and Fulmer was in the right place at the right time.

You used the word fact when you should have said rumor. There is nothing documented that is more than rumor. Majors was an obnoxious drunk with an over inflated ego of how important he was. He pissed too many people off and that was his end.

It might not have been pretty or the way you want to part ways with a legend, but it was the right move. Fulmer s record proves it.

I'm not a Fulmerite or Major... Whatever. I appreciate both these guys who love UT and gave their all.

Fulmer has his reasons for being disliked and for Tennessee fans it would start with 1992. Johnny Majors being pushed out the door by the next head football coach. Next to Neyland himself, no one was more the face or fan favorite of vol football than Majors. The original Johnny football has no illusions to this day of the character flaws that Fulmer processes and that lead to his sudden demise as HC after heart surgery.

A Bama fan on a UT forum giving Vol fans a UT "history lesson"....lol. Not even close dude. Your "Albert Means" anti-Fulmer bias strong in this revisionist history

I like Phil and respect him and appreciate what he did for UT. But the fact is the program did fail under his watch and ETSUs football program is going to fail too. Just like it did before. I was just pointing that out. Not being a douche just stating facts.

You can't say that the program failed under Fulmer--that is stupid. He won a national championship, which is the apex of success. Having reached the top of the heap, Fulmer couldn't keep us there, which isn't really surprising given our recruiting disadvantages, and the program slipped, deteriorated, in his last years. This is what often happens with coaches who stay in one job a long time: at some point, things are going to go south. Hell, it even happened to Spurrier: florida was starting to slip a bit by this 10th year with the gators, and he moved on. Your statement is factually wrong.
