If you think things look bad for basketball at Tennessee, Fulmer would be the second coming of Doug Dickey. He could give a rat's ass about our basketball program. He would be in a perfect position to start funneling basketball money into the football program,and in my opinion, would. Lets just hope for basketball's sake it doesn't happen. At this stage, the damage would be irreparable:frown:
Here is my question.
Hamilton is on record as saying his expectations at Tennessee are to win at least two SEC Championships during a 10-year period and get to the SEC title game every three or four years, as well as play in BCS bowls with some regularity.
Fulmer believes he was wrongly fired apparently believing just reaching the SEC Championship game is good enough.
If Fulmer were hired as AD, would he lower the expectations of the Coach/Program (I think would be sad), or would he hypocritically hold him to a standard that he was unwilling to hold himself to?
I have been a supporter since Wyatt. You expect a coach at UT to perform like a coach at the glamor schools, only without many in-state recruits. You expect too much. I just think the man should have been given more money for staff and some time. Instead we pay a whole lot more for all the coaches since he left and we are worse off. Good deal. Smart.
I'm gonna have to quit coming here because all I see is talk of our former warden acending to godfather of our crime family. Can you imagine all the shennigans he allowed with the football team being applied to all of UT athletics???? What do the Foolmerites want - Al Capone himself running the athletic department?
