It really is astounding UT has named Phil Freaking Fulmer AD, a guy with ZERO experience at the job. What could possibly go wrong? There's a hell of a lot more to that job than picking a football coach. It is a God-awful decision and no one is happier than me.

The good 'ol boy network in Knoxville may be the worst in the entire country.

I think I remember some here wanting SOS as AD at one point. I might be wrong.

I remember some wanting our AD fired since he could not convince our preferred head coach to come to UF.

I remember some wanting our AD fired because he was cheap and then another because he spent too much.

Internet boards have a lot of unusual things happening, or opinions.

Vol fans orgasmic that Phat Phil has finally been given ample opportunity to destroy their program:

http://www.volnation.com/forum/tennessee-vols-football/286555-am.html

Most pathetic fan base college football has ever seen.
“I teared up when Fulmer started speaking. It just felt right. I feel like they just wiped the slate clean and we are starting over the right way. The TN way. I'm excited for the future.”
The same idiots that had their pitchforks out to fire him as HC think he’s gonna save their program as the AD. :lmao2:

Until today, no one did more damage to UT's football program's prestige than SOS. Today, Volnation told Spurrier to hold their beer...

I hope they hire Tee Martin. He's not ready and the implosion will be poetic. The collapse will lead to them firing both Fulmer and Martin and tainting UT's lone shining moment in the age of color television.

Me too. Desperately. I mean, he scored an 11 on the Wonderlic - how could we ever compete with that kind of brilliant mind?

Phat Phil will also be looking over the shoulder of whoever is hired, "helping" him run the team. What coach wouldn't want that?

Then the callls for Peyton to come save the program will begin. “The Fivehead Era Begins”....

Been busy all day. Looks like Leach said, thanks, but no thanks.

I hope they don't get him. I see a little spur-dog in him: throw it around, speaks his mind, don't give a $hit attitude. I think he could make something there.

The TN way. Hmmmm. Isn't the TN way of drinking booze to inject it into the rectum?

Fulmer orchestrated his move to HC behind the scenes making people turn on Johnny Majors.

Rinse and repeat in 2017.

Tee Martin may be a dunce, but he did two things Forehead never did...beat UF and won a natty. That being said, he would be in way over his head as HC.

Here's hoping they can't fire Currie for cause, and pay him for the next decade.

Just watch, they'll hire that mental midget Kevin Steele as HC and flatline.

A lot of people seem to be thinking Tennessee is hiring a new coach by tomorrow. Lets say for the sake of argument that is true then who do you think it will be.

I think it ends up being Greg Schiano if it really is being announced this soon.
If it is Schiano the response is going to be the stuff of legends.

Phil: "Now Tee, what you want to do is forgot all that new fangled stuff. Get you a fullback, two tightends and half back and run right at them. You know the team that wins the UT/Florida game is the team with the most rushing yards. I know. I heard Vern Lunquist say it every year when we lost."

If Tennessee ends up spending all that money for this to happen, everyone up in Cooterville will be saying it is a sign of the apocalypse! I hope it happens and Leach wins the PAC-10 . Currie will come out smelling like roses and hopefully writing his memoirs entitled “Rocky Flop: my 9 month journey through the bowels of hell. Forward by Lane Kiffin”. Volnation will be epic comedy. And best of all...Phat Phil will be smoking cigars as AD after sabotaging their best chance at relevance. I think he is going to take over and use the same brilliance that brought us the Clawfense in his waning days. #VolTwitter really thinks they saved the place and they literally burnt it to the ground.
