Someone Fulmer respects needs to whisper in his ear and let him know that if he's the one blocking the firing of JP or inhibiting the process in any way, and folks find out, this action will definitely tarnish his legacy at UT. Seriously....
This isn't a fooley or lyle thing anymore.... we are fed up.
He needs to understand that if he's the one keeping gump, he better pray for a miracle that it works out, because until then, his days of smiling and waving and reliving the glory days with fans will abruptly come to a halt. He will now be put in bad situations and will be asked difficult and uncomfortable questions. It will not be fun anymore... he's enjoyed the fanfare up until this point and is enjoying Barnes success, but he's about to get a dose of reality if he's not smart. Don't let foolish pride get in the way...
