Link: Phil fulmer possible new AD for Tennessee

TideEngineer08 · Jan 17, 2017

This would be bad. Bad for Tennessee as much as anyone, but they are apparently too stupid to realize that.

I share the concerns of others about having Fulmer in a position of influence within the league. That is not ideal for us at all. With the leadership we have in place at the moment, I am not terribly worried. But you have to consider how unethical Fulmer was.

This! Memories are certainly short around here. Does no one remember the fake NCAA letterhead letters he used in recruitment? Or the "Bama will be out of business in two years"? The depth of hatred of this man for Bama is unfathomable. If the full extent of what he fostered were known, he would be in prison. He will view the post of AD as just one more opportunity to continue his dirty warfare against us. He seems the fool, but he's not harmless...

I will never forget. I will never forgive. I put him in the same category as bin Laden...absolutely no love from me!!!!

Thankfully, we don't have witless wonders roaming the sidelines nowadays.

Not since the Washington game anyway.

I'd say sentiment on their boards are running about 2-1 against him. The argument most often advanced against him is what you mentioned - turning over a 120 million business to someone who has no business experience whatsoever...

They also seemed quite upset we made a quality hire for AD without having an opening while they haven't found one yet.

I particularly liked the "they play to win; us, not so much." Or something like that...

I'm not sure they have the budget to keep replacing the flooring under his desk.

Here in Orangeland they are talking as if it is a done deal that Phat Phil will be waddling around the AD 's office at Rocky Flop.

What happened to the AD from UTC? I thought he was the favorite.

Just to play devil's advocate, did Mal Moore have any business experience?

Edit.....I looked it up and he was assistant AD for a few years. Never mind.

Lock him up!

I never liked Fulmer from the time he got hired as head coach. It seemed like he schemed to take the job from Johnny Majors. Majors was a rival coach you could respect even if you didn't like him. Fulmer was never likable or respectable. I know there was a lot of bad blood there.

All of those when I think of Phat Phil.

More than Fulmer. Bill Battle was a logical interim choice. He had been a head coach and was an immensely successful businessman. He actually took a huge pay cut. Between Mal and Bill, we had a good run. I predict disaster for UT...

A disaster is more than they deserve

BradtheImpaler · Jan 17, 2017

While it is worrisome to have that loathsome tub-of-lard in any sort of position other than seated at a Krispy Kreme, our situation is much different. Back then, we were the equivalent of a rusty old Russian trawler taking on water faster than we could bail. Now, we're one of those amazing new stealth warships, and Tennessee is a Jon-boat without its plug.

If Tennessee wants to hire a moron to run their AD into the ground even more so, then who are we to stand in their way of regress?

ecraj · Jan 18, 2017

What are they thinking? How could anything good come from this?

Just because you eat a million dollars worth of Kripsy Kreme, doesn't mean you need to run a franchise.

Sales are sales... :cool2:

I hope they hire him!

The photo-shop material will be incredible!

That always got under the skin of the hillbillies... :biggrin:

I tend to think you're right. Without Kramer, I don't think there's really anything that Fulmer can fulminate...
