Coaches Salaries

Yeah, it's real tough to criticize Fulmer as an annonymous poster on a message board
:blink:

:thefinger:

read the thread. you see anyone else in here willing to talk about the obvious that Fulmer is highly overpaid?

Nobody is overpaid.

 

[WA_Vol]

I guess I do not undestand. Are you saying if anyone has another view point they will get slammed for it. When I joined I thought this board accepted different views.

yes, that is true, they do not accept different views, as is obvious from this thread.

 

[WA_Vol]

lol. you sound like my boss.

I choose to forgo the negativity of the past season and be optimistic about the future.I think the majority of the TRUE UT fans echo my sentiments. One more thing, I think Tennessee's 100,000 plus fans that continue to show up game after game agree. By the way, we're gonna beat that :horse: right off the darn board!

You really are delusional. If it were not for football this Volnation Board would not exist. The number 1 topic is the ineptitude of our coaches, especially CPF now that Sanders has left, followed by recruiting. You may be right that, because of loyality, that a majority of UT fans feel that Fulmer deserves another year or two to right the sorry state of our program, but this majority is slipping fast and you must know this. To criticize OklaVol for an excellent post is childish.

Furthermore, you must not have been at the last two or three home games. If there were over 80000 bodies in the stadium I will eat your dead horse!!

UTfantilidie . . . welcome to the ever growing club of people who get labelled as idiots, morons, delusional, childish, sheepish, kool aid drinkers, etc for daring to slightly disagree about the coaching.

This is getting stupid.

Oh brother! I'm with you GAVOL.

Of course I read it.

Interesting how you believe your opinion is obvious but also courageous and bold at the same time :question:

i'm sorry. i am so wrong. obviously anyone who is able to go 5-6 in the sec deserves to be one of the top 5 highest paid coaches in the nation. I dont know what i was thinking by suggesting otherwise.

 

[vols2345]

man i should have never opened this thread. might as well get my two cents in though. are you really suggesting that fulmer is not worth his money? highest winning percentage for career than anyone you have mentioned on that list, he always has tenessee playing good (exclude this year) and he deserves every penny he gets. yall might say well he doesnt do good with the talent he brings blah blah blah. well shoot, he IS the one who brings in the talent. dont think he doesnt do anything and that these players automaticly want to come here. he does alot of heavy recruiting to get top notch players to come here. why dont we all just get off his back and save the slander for next season eh?

Actually Fulmer doesnt even have the highest winning % in the sec.

Fulmer 128-37 .776
Richt 52-12 .813

I'm pretty sure Saban also had a higher winning % at LSU but he went to the pro's.

If Richt is making 1.5 mil a year why would Fulmer deserve 2.2 mil?

Richt has won 2 sec champ. in 5 years. Fulmer has also won 2 but that was in 14 years and the last one he won was 8 years ago. Do you guys really believe after Richt has coached 14 years he won't have more then 2 sec champ.??

Also coincidentally Peter Carroll is reported to make between 1.2-1.5 million a year. So you guys really believe Fulmer deserves to making almost a million more then Carroll????

I find it hard to believe that a VOL fan could bust our coach who took us to the promise land not that long ago. I think he does and has earned his money. He had a bad year. I hate it more or as much as any. He did what he needed to do (make coaching changes) maybe slower than some of us wanted, but he did. So go ahead and make fun of our coach if you want to. I have no doubt that we will be back with a vengance this year.

I think your salary numbers are skewed, which is easy to do with the strange packages that are sometimes put together for them. The report I heard on ESPN radio stated the "rumor" (USC does not report coaches salaries) that Carroll's new contract was worth around 3 million a year. As for Richt and the other coaches, this link, though a little dated, suggests that Fulmer is paid among the top echelon of college coaches, but not above them: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2003/writ...contracts.data/

According to that link info. CPF will get a bonus of $1.05 million on 12-31-06.

 

[bleedingorange]

There is no way in my opinion that fulmer is even one of the top 15 coaches in the country but i think everyone knows i think fulmer blows as a coach.

 

[vols kick balls]

im not the biggest fulmer fan either but you have to givev his props he is a DAMN good recruiter

 

[jakez4ut]

you come in here and sometimes you would never know fulmer just laid the biggest egg in college football this year.

if you guys had your way, we'd still have majors and peterson as coaches.

the reason fulmer hasnt made any change up to this point is because he's got so many people blowing smoke and making excuses for him.

Holy Cow folks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! get a freakin grip.

battle, majors, peterson, houston...which ones is it???? Nevermind, it doesn't matter.

Fulmer gets paid in the upper tier BECAUSE of what he's accomplished.

No one thinks he earned it this year. But again, it was one year. It's over and it sucked. But until we start having these types of seaons regularly, i'm going to defer to the side that saw CPF and TN string together one of the most impressive 15 or 16 year stretches in college football. I would prefer to think that all the years of 9+ win seasons, conference championships and a national title were the rule, and that ONE LOSING SEASON IN 17 YEARS is the exception.

personally I could care less what other teams coaches make, and since Saban left i guess we'll never know what his winning percentage would be after 14yrs, and why don't we wait to see exactly how Richt's % holds up after coaching in the SEC fro more than 10 yrs.

The way it is going i would say it looks pretty good so far

:clapping: oh you don't mean to say that the fact that CPF has had sustained success for 13 years compared to 5 years for Richt should count for anything when drawing such comparisons? careful...we don't like that kind of talk here.

What's that old saying about counting chickens before they hatch? Don't get me wrong I think Richt is a good coach but so is CPF.

This has happened to me in the past jr. and i caught alot of heat over it. Everybody knows how i feel about UTs coach so theres no sense in me arguing about it.

 

[volmanjr]

agreed, I'm really just trying to divert everyone's attention from the 18 page dead horse thread for awhile

Fulmer brought great energy and drive to the program initially, culminating with the NC in 98. That energy and drive has dissipated somewhat. He has made poor decisions regarding coaches, players, utilization of and developing talent and above all team discipline on and off the field. But to me the most troubling is his apparent acceptance of these shortcomings and lack of resolve over the years to deal with them. I guess one simply wonders @ some point maybe somebody else could do a better job.
