It's toxic. And it's horrible. But, this is one instance I will allow it as I am not confident DW knows how much this BaseVols team means to us unless we're in his ear everyday. He needs to know how big of a screw up it would be to let him go.

Perhaps the most "connected" poster on this forum has pointed out over the last eighteen months, ad nauseum, that Fulmer had the boosters hook/line/sinker and the athletics department (aside from football, obviously) primed for success.

And... that's true, right? Look at how wonderfully all of the programs have performed this season with the notable exception of our golden goose.

I think everyone being honest on this forum would take an Alabama-level football dynasty at the expense of literally every other program, and perhaps Danny White can deliver to that end (I refuse to pass judgment after four months), but I'm not ready to attribute any of the current baseball/tennis/golf/et cetera success to Danny until he has to start making some calls that put his $1mm+ salary to the test. Unless I'm mistaken, the first big one is going to be ensuring that UT gets some baseball upgrades and offers Tony a top-five salary; if Tony doesn't accept after all the cards are on the table and jumps to LSU, whatever, but you have to both make the initial enticing offer and have a non-JUCO backup plan if things don't go your way. If this doesn't happen, he's immediately in my bad books.

What makes me think that if the baseball team had struggled this season, DW would have received a majority of the blame? 😏

DW doesn't deserve any of the success or the blame (if it had gone south) for this season. He didn't do anything to augment this team. He walked into a great situation.

Where DW will be judged is his ability to keep it rolling. That's the only thing he should be judged on.

Absolutely none of the spring success is related to DW. The players and coaches were on campus before DW. The basketball team did better before White was hired but his hiring had nothing to do with their downfall in February and March.

Fulmer earned and deserved the blame he got for the football program circling the drain but with that being said, he does earn the credit for the spring sports success this year.

I think a nice respectful bombardment of Dr. White in the best of the Volfan intensity with support for the BaseVols, CTV and assistant coaches, and an upgraded LNS is perfectly fine. I let him know my thoughts after the Arky victory which I was blessed to be able to see in person.

I feel like Currie is getting the last laugh. He was always committed to spring sports and our success right now is his legacy

I agree except Currie set baseball up...not Fulmer.
