I have wondered this year as our win total continues to rise, what our old AD Fulmer has to say about our success. I haven't heard anything in the press. I was just curious . Has he been to the ballgames practices, VFL functions etc...

I will always appreciate CPF for what he did in coaching the Vols. I am sure he is happy that the Vols are finally having success.

That said, I don't want to hear him in the press or anywhere else except how he is having a great time playing golf and with his grandkids.

Maybe 2-3 years from now after an NC, SEC Champs and 3 playoffs, when the putrid stain of Pruitt and the last 15 years has been washed off, THEN Fulmer can poke his head around gladhanding and saying hi. Nothing more than that. This is White and Heupel's success and their program. No need to cloud the water.

The man bleeds orange.

He may have sucked as an AD, but he was awesome as a coach. And he bleeds orange.

You know he's enjoying every minute of it, just like the rest of us.

Go Vols!

Coach Fulmer's teams gave me some of the best memories of my life. I have nothing but love and respect for him

All VFLs have a great appreciation for what's happening on the Hill. All of our sports programs are performing well. We have much to be proud of.

Let's move forward and leave the past in the past.

I say it's great to be a Tennessee Vol!

CPF is keeping a low profile as he should. Go to games, say hello to people, but stay away from the operation itself and away from cameras and microphones. Appreciate what he did for this program back in the day, but this is a new era and all new players over there in the AD/Admin that are competent and don’t play around. Now, he just needs to be a fan and VFL.

I hope Fulmer never speaks about TN football again. I don’t want him associated with TN in anyway and I hope he keeps his fat trap shut.

Phil is finally playing it smart - stay away from cameras, reporters, and microphones and you don't have to answer any questions about the still pending investigation of the MAJOR violations that happened on YOUR watch.

Respect the man, Love the man for what he means to UT and what's he done for the institution and program; GLAD he's keeping a low profile and enjoying retirement as a fan.

I wish I could double like something. You took the words directly out of my mouth.

Whenever we can see what the NCAA is going to impose penalty-wise can see Fulmer's final legacy. For now he's just cashing the monthly checks for his buyout.

If nothing else, his complete incompetence as an athletics director has led us to a real AD and a real head football coach.

Heard same. Beyond that, glad he's no longer associated with the UT sports programs.

Until the NCAA is done with Pruitt and CO. he will have to keep as low a profile as possible. He was privy to initial findings, involved in the house cleaning and all three principals knew him hanging around could not help with additional scrutiny of him being attached if he hung on. Clean break required. The presser allowed him to jump on the sword for the NCAA to see and openly pursue him if ANYTHING linked him to the execution of the actions involved with the CAUSE case against those fired.

He owns THAT hire and everything associated with it, and the hiring and/or retention of every coach he passed on to White. The cost of critically damaging the bell cow is what it is, so is our last NC and the 152-52 record as a coach. I think his street is safe for a while unless there is a smoking gun. Betting that is not the case. I wonder if that will be clarified in the NCAA findings. Hoping the actions of all three of our folks at the top at that time is documented. Fuzzy will not be in our favor.
