Pat Forde may be the BIGGEST national douche, and that's saying something.

Tennessee fans got what they wanted--and now they're the laughingstock of the sport. Power to the people- Pat Forde

she commended Phil for staying in communication after Currie was hired.
It sounded to me like Blackburn may have burned that bridge when he was picked over, hence Fulmer was the natural selection today.

any one else catch that?

‪It's so good to have Phillip Fulmer back! This has been a crazy ride. The search isn't over, but we now have a man that loves the University of Tennessee, understands it's traditions, and expects championships! We ARE the best fans in the nation 🍊‬

Guys, Currie said in his press conference to not believe anything until it comes from him.
Sh!t, we will never have a coach again... :)

The AD Hire of Coach Fulmer will not only be great for the football program but for all programs in the athletic department. Now to catch a Whale. :)

Alright, now is the time to push for Gruden. After all, this is the Gruden thread. Send her many Thanks...and Blessings, give her your support. Don't forget to ask her to BRING GRUDEN HOME and tell her she will be loved forever. She needs to hear this after the hell she's went through this week.

This is bigger than the coach. What a day for all of us. We saw our chance when they counted on us to be passive last Sunday. They counted wrong...

I am exhausted like many who have been giving their all for Tennessee since Sunday. So many things I wish I could tell y’all but just know you were heard and that voice gave energy to those that were fighting within the AD and boosters. Our friend that leaked the Schiano move gave us the opening.

You can let your opinion be heard but maybe a little less vitriol now that we have orange in the chair. :)

Enjoy the weekend and trust Coach.

I’m going to tell you all a story about Phil Fulmer. Many of you know that I lost my teenage son a few months ago. He was born in ‘98 and was a surviving twin. That fall my husband and I were grieving the loss of one son and our other son was in the NICU hanging onto life by a tenuous thread. We had been through so many crises as any parent of a child in the NICU can tell you is just the way it is. We were grieving, scared and exhausted. We happened to catch the end of our football game vs Arkansas I believe - the one where their quarterback inexplicably fumbled and we came back to win? My husband had just said, “Well, that’s the ballgame.” I replied, “You never know what can happen!” He said, “All he has to do is take a knee.” Then the fumble happened and I KNEW that ANYTHING truly can happen and my son DID have a chance to make it! All things are possible! I knew from my faith, of course, that God could heal our son but for some reason seeing the end of that game gave me more hope.

I wrote a letter to Coach Fulmer after that thanking the team for not giving up and for showing that anything is possible. I received a very nice letter back from him telling me he read the letter to the team. He is a kind man with great character and compassion. I still have that letter.

It’s easy to say “It’s just football,” but as the poster whose son has depression commented and as our situation proves - sometimes it means MUCH more than just a game.

Just wanted to share that with my Volnation family.

That's beautiful. Thank you for sharing that with us.

Wow. I thought Bev did as well as she could. I felt sorry for her. She doesn’t strike me as someone terribly interested in sports and she’s just now figuring out how important it is to so many. She looks sooo tired.

The feels I got when Phil started talking. Like old times. He’s back and in his rightful position.

It’s great, to be, a Tennessee Vol!!! I said, it’s great, to be, a Tennessee Vol!!!

Yes! We sure did it, didn’t we!?!? This is one of the greatest moments in the University of Tennessee’s History!

We WON the war!!!

We all deserve a big pat on the back because if it wasn’t for our commitment to this great University, I don’t think this would have ever happened! This was the fans doing! This was VolNations accomplishment and everyone deserves to be accredited; Coming from me personally, I would just like to say thank you to everyone on VolNation for rallying the troops and fighting for what we believe in!

With that said, I have enjoyed my time here and have enjoyed the discussions we’ve had. I hope I was able to shed some light on some things and I hope I was able to help aid in the cause. From this moment forward, I will not be commenting on the coaching search and I will be giving this account back to its owner. I have the utmost respect for Phillip Fulmer and hope everyone will get behind him and believe in him to do the best job possible. Phillip Fulmer is the greatest man I have ever known and he loves the University more than anyone, and I know, with all my heart, there’s truly no one better for the job.

Thank you all for letting me be a part of this!
