Thanks, Coach Fulmer.

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

Yet he then proceeded in the article to continue placing blame on everyone but himself. He wouldn't admit one specific single thing that he did wrong. His statement of accepting responsibility was not really a humble admission of his failure at all. His statement on responsibility was merely a cheap attempt to try to make himself look just a little better after his earlier statements, where he blamed everyone and everything except the person most responsible (himself) for the downfall of Tennessee football. He is a sad pathetic egomaniac narcissist who still can't understand why his fat lazy booster brown nosing butt was fired, nor can he accept it. He's still talking about it in every interview five years later. Why anybody even interviews the man anymore is beyond me !

With this kind of "respect" and the way his dismissal was handled, which party actually owes an apology to the other?

And you're an egomaniac narcissist who hides behind a keyboard that thinks he really owes you anything for the state of the program 5 YEARS after he was fired. Get off your high entitled horse and ignore him if you have a problem with it.

Wish Congress would do something about the long term unemployed. Fulmer needs something better to do with his time.

With that kinda record, you would think he would be employed by another University!:whistling:

Why would he want to?

And how do you know he wasn't offered?

He was making bank just sitting at home doing whatever he wanted? If Dooley can get a job after that travesty he called a football team, I doubt Phil would have much of a problem.

As they went through non-sense similar to what we're going through now. He was also owned but the premier program in the SEC at the time- UF. I know in the eyes of some it makes me less of a fan but I simply do not feel the contempt for Bama that I do for Florida.

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.

Saying he would have won more games than Dooley isn't exactly something to get all excited about.

He has said several times he isn't looking to coach again. He lost a lot of time with his kids as a HC and doesn't want to be away from them and his grand kids anymore than he has to. I think he will be fine in retirement.

I'm just glad to see he acknowledges he was part of the collapse of the football program. Good on him.

Actually, sir, he's made the claim he wanted to coach again on several occasions. It was only after no one hired him that he made the statement you're talking about.

BTW, he wasn't just "part" of the collapse. He was the main player in it

With a record of 152-52, NC and HOF, any other coach would wonder the same thing.

Not after the last seven seasons of a tenure like Fulmer's, when the program trended down to the lower tier of the
SEC.

Then again, I keep forgetting you just don't know any better. Bless your heart

Too much comedy in your posts. You add balance. For every informed poster there should be an uninformed/misinformed one.

Best I tell it will take 3 very informed and good natured people to balance and account for you. Your combination of narsciscim and trailer park intellectualism isn't cute anymore. You are abusive to everyone on this forum who disagrees with you and that has to be most people here. I'm not sure how you think you come across, but I promise you that is NOT how you are coming across.

So the statement, "Fulmer recruited all the great players that were there before he was HC", is an informed one?

Trailer park intellectualism? Wow...:birgits_giggle: Narcissism?? Show me a post where I am talking about myself.

Your opinion is welcome as it is your right. Your affirmation, however, is neither needed nor wanted.
