Phil Fulmer talking to assistants

[NashVol11]

Well considering that only one coach left after the 45-5 run, I would say we are somewhere in the middle. I know sanders after 2002 had a few HC interviews and Chavis turned down many college HC gigs. I've always said that a lot of kids became men, which is part of the college experience. Kids cried that Phil was fired and so did the coaches. They were a family and didn't wanna leave. Can't blame folks for wanting to stay together.

If Sanders and Chavis were such worthy candidates, why have they received absolutely zero opportunities since Fulmer left?

Maybe Kentucky should have promoted him to head coach instead of firing him as OC.

For one, Chavis has always turned down jobs and he got an upgrade at LSU. Why sanders went to UK is understood. See last year. Hell, I hate to say it but the Clawfense took his act to the BG and has fixed that program.

You gonna say sanders had a bad gig at UK up until this year?

If he's head coach material, the coordinator job at Kentucky is most certainly a bad gig. In fact, "bad" is a massive understatement.

Aorkansas made a serious run at Fulmer last year. I know that for sure. With Ark one year wait one has to wonder were they waiting on Fulmer to finish drawing his check from UT.

Maybe they are now..

I say we trade right now....give us Strong and they take PF.

And Tn would get the worse end of the deal.

Charles Davis just said on Basilio that Fulmer was calling former assistants, inviting them to NYC to the awards ceremony, expenses paid.

Classy move, prob the correct motive behind the rumor in this thread. Imho

Don't get a comment like this - like he woke up one day and forgot how to coach - unless his health is bad - he's a great coach that won a lot of SEC games for us - just don't get "past his prime"

I'm assuming it has to do with Fulmer never adjusting to ever evolving offenses and defenses.

Fulmer may be UTs plausible deniability for the coach we r flirting with.
