From this morning's Times Free Press:

"I understand it's been a topic of conversation in Knoxville," he said with a tiny smile. "So let me clarify something. I know I was responsible for both the good and the bad because I was the head coach. I know I had responsibility."

That's all I was hoping to hear from him.

Wiedmer: Phillip Fulmer takes responsibility, likes UT Vols coach Butch Jones | timesfreepress.com

Let me tell you...Maybe some of you LOVE Fulmer as a coach but sometimes Karma comes around, and for Fulmer should look in the mirror and SHUT HIS MOUTH. Its been way too long for him to be making waves for UT Football, and I gather he realizes CBJ has too much backing to make waves for him.

So move on or get out of the media world before your CJM opens your Skelton's in the media, get ON OR OFF this UT FOOTBALL BUS there is no room for freeloaders>>>YOUR CHOICE<<<<

Why would Phil need to forgive Johnny? Because Johnny left him a team loaded with studs and depth? I suppose with your line of thinking, Kiffin and Dooley should have praised Fulmer for leaving them a fraction of what he inherited:ermm:

All idiocy aside, this is a step in the right direction for CPF.

For all the cheap shots Johnny delivered over the years. CPF did not deserve it. All idiocy aside, CPF recruited those great teams.

Bless your heart. At times I thought you might be playing a role here. Now, I just feel sorry for you. You probably can't help it

Acceptance. . . final stage for Phil. Probably has been there for awhile but first time I believe he has spoken those words. Time for fans to shelf the dead horse.

He's always going to be a VFL and I'm glad he went out of his way to do this.

He went out of his way to do this because he was getting bashed for his previous comments, when he threw everyone under the bus for the decline of the UT program and took no blame himself.

I believe it was time for Fulmer to go, but how do you hate the most successful coach ever to grace the sidelines at UT. Sometimes I wonder about the sanity of Tennessee's fan base. Fulmers record was 151-52-1 let that sink in. If butch jones end up with a record close to that he will be a tremendous success.

Fulmer is the reason you have "Good ole days" respect the man or you are not a VFL any bashing is ridiculous.

Exactly. He qualified his admission of responsibility. Kind of like needing a definition of "is".

His inability to see, much less admit, that he caused the program to go well down the slippery slope over a half dozen years and not just a season or two is what is so nauseating. Having a down season every 4-5 years can happen to even the best. However, "down" is like 7-6 W/L at UT. When it is clear you cannot have even that without Cut in charge of the offense and providing team discipline it is time to go.

How good was Randy Sanders as an OC? So good he couldn't stay in the job anywhere else. How good was the Clawface? lol. Yet, Phil would just roll with it regardless as long as they let him. He got lucky having Chief and Cut together while he went out and did what he did the best - recruit. The first step to recovery is to admit you have a problem. He still hasn't fully admitted it.

So tired of hearing this about cpf running the program down. His final year would not have been 5/7 season if he didn't get fired the week before Montana, the team quit because they lost their coach. He left a team that had plenty of contributors on the following 7/5 team. He had a good looking class coming in including t.boyd the collapse came from the coach that replaced him. 3 of his recruits are still here out of the entire class. I think the fulmer haters are just mad that he replaced majors and are probably
Majors fans that are like their coach and won't get over it.

I bet we would of won more games the previous four years with Fulmer at head coach rather then he two guys we had...and the debate continues, yes.

I don't think that there is any question that we would not have fallen as far as we have had Fulmer remained coach. However, that doesn't mean we should have kept him. It means that we made terrible decisions in replacing him. We would never have returned to greatness with Fulmer as coach, but we wouldn't have fallen to the point that we are hoping to beat KY and Vandy to avoid being last in the east.
