You tell them. It is bad enough to attack CPF, but at least do it correctly. You will only be wrong once.

 

[byobbio]

And giving and giving.
Shouldn't have done what they did to him.
And Volnation.

 

[UTBasketball2]

Shut up and move on.

 

[CountVolcula]

LOL

That milk has already turned to powder

 

[Jax_Vol]

They shouldn't have done what they done to Johnny Majors.


Phil just got what he had coming.

 

[pualsline]

OP seems like a person that blames things on the past instead of trying to improve the future

Amen. In before merge.

 

[Dan Federman]

I agree

Johnny did it to himself.

Phil deserved better.

Agreed. But there's not one person on this board that wouldn't have done the same thing. Fulmer just kept his mouth shut and did the best with the situation he was given. I don't think he's the best coach ever. But, in his words and mine, he had a lot of equity. And equity goes a long way. In the past 3 months alone, we miss out on:
Tee martin
Jay Graham
Vonn Bell
Jalen Ramsey

Granted, nobody knows what would have happened if he were still coach, but this university had a lot invested in Fulmer and some 25 years of coaching legacy (Majors +Fulmer) to just throw away because of a few bad seasons. i think society is too quick to just jump in and fire the name and not look at the system in general. I think we're in about as good hands as possible, but our glory days are way, way far from returning. This just sucks.

JM got exactly what was coming to him. Should've been fired sooner.

You are right, but you are wasting your time. VN is a reflection of society and they wanted someone, anyone young. They got their wish.

Just checking to see if you still on guard duty at Mount Phil...? LOL!

Still here. How are you doing? I am a bit tired. Looking for reinforcements.

 

[VegasVol]

Amen to that. He coached during an era when the SEC was down much of that era, when the SEC title didn't require annual games against three of the SEC best in the regular season nor any SEC title game, and managed to make us mostly irrelevant and mediocre before Fulmer took over the OC and recruiting coordinator positions in 1989.

Facts are not welcome in this thread. Especially if they favor CPF.

 

[VolsRule]

both majors and fulmer were fired a year or two too late

 

[GreveHaller]

both majors and fulmer were fired a year or two too late

so Johnny should have been fired after either a 9-2-2 season in 1991 or a 9-3 season in 1992 and Phil should have been fired after either a 9-4 season in 2006 or the 10-4 season winning the East?

Good God allmighty. Your stupidity meter goes to 11. Please dont breed.

 

[UTwild82]

I'll admit I wanted Phil gone when they fired him. But after the dumpster fire we've had every year since, I'm beginning to think we f&cked up big time. Oh well all we can do is support the current staff and hope they right this ship.
