Fulmer is still the best name.

[Big_Orange_Fan]

What in the world says Fulmer will take us up? My goodness I thought the Grudenites were delusional, the Fulmerites still have them beat by a mile.

Don't change the subject.

"You said the program was on it's way up."

I ask for 1 fact.

Can you not come up with 1.

 

[CTVolsfan14]

NO GTFO

Fulmer was anything but a hardass. Kiffin was so fed up with our OL's lack of conditioning that he had them doing 5AM sprints as soon as he got here.

Touche, but that does not negate the fact that, of the choices remaining, Fulmer is a better choice!

 

[NashVol11]

"You said the program was on it's way up."

That's a quote? So he said that you said it was on its way up? Well, I'm glad we all agree.

 

[EzHammer]

where is the 'dislike' option?

 

[volsfansince4387]

Problem is hart. Hard to lure a guy here when your only time speaking is offering the job on the same day he rejects it.

So nothing I said was true? So we sent Phill out with a red carpet and some roses? Where the hell have you been the past 5 years?

 

[EastT]

in before Petrino or Fulmer lol

 

[MedicT]

I can't help but get a kick out of these threads about Coach Fulmer. Why would anyone want to coach in an environment where regardless of your successes the fanbase is going to turn against you as quickly as ours turned against Coach Fulmer. Time to reap what we have sown, unfortunately.

 

[hmanvolfan]

Why the hell would Phill want to come back? We threw him away like trash and we treated a man who did so much for this program like ****. Why the hell would he want us when we threw him to the curb, its like your girlfriend leaving you for someone else then all of a sudden they want you back. Karma is a ***** and we are getting it bad.... Please hire Petrino or Tressel, if y'all ever want to win again.

Are you putting Phil in the same category as the cheaters Petrino and Tressel? Cheating is ok in your book? Just asking cause you are saying we did Phil dirty but those guys are dirty too. That being said Petrino probably could wins games at Tennessee if he stayed around long enough to build the program back to where it was in the late nineties.

 

[Vol4life25]

ok have it your way.....

take your half a$$ coach we are about to hire.......... Butch Jones

Have fun being 5-7 again and in the next 2-3 years....we will hire another half a$$ coach.

If I have lose......then I would be proud to lose with the great phil on the sidelines, instead of some dude from the MAC or Conf USA.

Where the hell have you been the last 13 years?

 

[Big_Orange_Fan]

What you don't seem to understand is that when we're trying to hire a coach, those things matter 1000x more than our record since 2010. Going 8-4 a few times isn't going to make our job any "better."

Another fact is the fact that Dooley is now gone. That would seem to be a rather large and obvious positive.

I understand and how did that work out for us. Now just keep on gambling. And everyone will keep on laughing at us.

Give me one fact that we are better today than when Fulmer left.

Can't say Dooley being gone cause at this point we may not win a single SEC game next year. Unless you have a crystal ball and know something. If you do tell us who's are next coach and what is our record going to be next year.

1 thing that points up.

I would like phill, if you actually read the damn post you would know that I was saying why would Fulmer want to come back?

To my knowledge Petrino has never run afoul of the NCAA. Am I incorrect on this? Serious question, he might have gotten in some trouble that I'm not remembering.

Sure there's a chance he might burn us by leaving for a better job, but is that really any worse of a risk than hiring Al Golden or worse at this point? The further this goes with UT looking more and more desperate, the less leverage they might have with Petrino. Had he been their top target, they probably could have gotten him at a bargain price with a ironclad contract to protect themselves from the stuff he's done in the past. With each passing day though, UT loses more and more leverage because they can't get a decent coach to say yes to their offers.

Not to mention the $6M UT is still paying him(installments).
Phil did a lot for UT and I admire him for his service.

 

[Crackhouse]

Phil never left...we left Phil!

 

[Vols_r_great]

HE// no it was time for him to go when he was let go and we sure dont need him back.

 

[jmsbolt]

Fulmer is a really solid recruiter he could keep Chaney and Graham. Hell, he could possibly pull Chief back to UT.. That my friends would be a solid staff!
