Pretty good show this morning. You may not know Doug's background - assistant coach and shared office with Fulmer for 10 years. Fulmer and he have a Saturday radio show called "coach to coach". Bottom line - He knows Fulmer as a friend and colleague.
Having said that - Doug's information coming from the Hill is going to be a little more accurate.
Some points he made this morning:
The question of Tee came up. Doug said "Phillip knows what he wants and if he will hire the best candidate." Mentioned Chavis and Steele in that conversation. If not, they will most likely get a call anyway just to get their input.
He also put some myths to bed. One misconception I had, Neyland was hired to beat Vanderbilt. Not true - he came in as an assistant and needed a ROTC program to be a part of. UT and another school had a ROTC opening and fortunately he chose UT.

Some points he made this morning:
- No way Kiffin ever coming back here with Fulmer as AD
- Fulmer didn't sign on for just a 2 year deal. He has the job as long as he wants it.
- No rift between Fulmer and Manning
- Fulmer has most likey (100% chance) has talked to every recruit.
