Just putting things into perspective!..Fulmer was 100% content with letting Rick Barnes Walk until Boyd Stepped in! That tells me all I need to know about Fulmer as acting AD.f*** Fulmer.Hes worried about his legacy that was built by Johnny and it’s going to end with him being thrown out with the door locked behind him.

Actually that is true afaik. And I was also on the "let him walk" bus at the time to be fair

@Atlanta VOL @LA Vol @MetalVolunteer @matts42012 We deserve answers! Why is this inept university going to sit around and let every other school do the things necessary to win on Saturdays and we aren’t? Why are we going to sit back and let GOOD coaches get hired up and not even try? Why are guys like Hugh Freeze sitting out there waiting for big jobs and we think we are too “good” for Hugh? His past means nothing. It’s time for the people in charge to swallow some pride and stop watching fans and players suffer through crap decision after crap decision. We are going to miss out on a good hire and there’s nobody to blame but the University. They simply do not have a win at all cost attitude and that’s why we never compete with UGA, Bama, Florida and will never make a championship game much less a playoff game. We simply do not place priority on winning.

Everyone going to suck him off because he is connected. Way of life around here. If you go look thru his post history, he repeatedly uses Covid in his post. He is using that excuse until it sticks it seems, even though some will turn it around and be like "No he wasn't, blah blah"

Honestly what AV and LA both said isn’t that far apart

LA is just pointing out that Fulmer Alone isn’t able to stop this from Happening while AV is saying Fulmer is an issue. They both can be correct in that Fulmers side has enough power to perhaps hold powers above Fulmer back

I don't know what Atl Vol said. And I'm not trying to challenge him or call him out. That was another poster's doing. Fulmer has been in Pruitt's corner all along. And he has money people with him. But that doesn't give Fulmer the authority to "block" anything. The AD has power, but the authority to override is up the chain.

The Barnes situation was that policy in action. If Boyd thinks a certain move is the right one, he has the power to make it. If he wants to use booster money to fire and hire, he can make that call. He can also decide to support his AD, if he thinks that's in the best interest of the university. He has broader responsibilities and greater authority than the AD. That's the bottom line.

Again, I'm not trying to pick a fight. But UT works how UT works.

Are you implying that posters on a message board owe anyone anything? Dude, come on.

Larry lives in Middle Tennessee. Has strong ties to Fulmer

Yep, and is still butthurt over us firing him back in 2008. He's been right a lot, but he also gives his opinion now more so than bringing actual behind the scenes info, which is why he's so negative. He will likely be right again about our next hire, whenever that will be.

Well it’s not the best interest if they had any car ein the world about winning they’d pick up the phone call Freeze and be done with the shitstorm.
