No.
1. He gave Pruitt the undeserved contract extension, showing his inexperience
2. He doubled down for the longest on backing Pruitt, and potentially drug this thing out longer.
3. If Steele is the guy he plans on hiring, it proves he has not learned from his mistakes.

Steele isn’t the guy he’s planning on hiring. That isn’t happening

don’t you at least give fulmer a pass on the first hire under the circumstances?

I mean he eliminated Chad Morris which was correct and that left 3 rough choices, all assistants. It’s not like he hired Pruitt from a long and full search

He deserves a mulligan under the circumstances imo

I still feel like he may have been chasing defensive coaches last go around when college football has obviously become an offensive game. The extension was uncalled for. And if the Barnes rumors are true, that shows more bad judgement.

That said, if Pruitt is gone Monday after players are on campus, we have no major NCAA penalties, and he lands Marrone, Steele, Garner, and Myslinski within a couple of days, I’d consider it a job well done. All things considered..

I think we have two realistic choices that we should hope for, or else we're in big, big trouble.

Herman, who probably won't be hired because of his reputation for not getting along with boosters. And Chadwell, who may not be hired for lack of experience, or may be hired but have all the hands in the cookie jar forcing a staff on him if he does.

This is TN. We're going to bungle this thing and end up hiring either a loser with a losing record, or we're going to hamstring a winner like Chadwell

Freeze and Herman are the 2 choices. So that means they have no chance! Fulmer may name himself the new HC.

I know it’s extremely risky, but if this is true and I was in the administration. I would straight tell JP to go f*** himself and try to get your money. You don’t get failure money plus a cush landing spot.

Yeah, he does. Fulmers dumba$$ signed a contract stating there is no offset. So we will be paying him barring anything coming from this investigation for cause.

obviously in hindsight it was mistake but extensions are about recruiting more than anything. I don’t think that’s a mistake that is job threatening but a mistake nonetheless

You could be right. I look at it that no one was coming after him to be their head coach so why put ourselves in that situation.

Recruited, if you notice in games RBs and WRs are always talking to him. Everyone complains that he is always on TV and he is because the skill players always get sideline time and they are talking to him. People can criticize him and I wanted him gone, but his offense was good here for 3 years. Everyone says it was Dobbs, but he recruited Dobbs

I agree but his stubbornness and unwillingness to admit he made a mistake and now has put us in the situation we’re in is the issue.

Good majority of UK fans around here are pissed off at the basketball team for kneeling during the National Anthem before the Florida game.

Cal isn’t a very popular person right now, let’s just say that.

The whole extension for recruiting purposes is just the kind of horse$6¡7 struggling coaches and their agents say when pushing for a raise.

I can’t see them going in a kid’s home, and them saying, “Yeah, I’d love to come play for you, but your contract and all..” Especially immaterial just wrapping up year 2 of a 5 year deal.

He coached the WRs. Saban has used him as a position coach for 3 years and we have paid his salary. He worked with RBs the first 2 years. People can make fun of him but Saban used him to coach all 3 years

Butch ? I thought he was just an analyst at Alabama making about 20-30k.
