Vandy - Fulmer talking

From the scoop Dec 01 :

Vanderbilt: Our sources tell us that former Tennessee head coach Phil Fulmer is definitely in the mix. We were told that Fulmer spoke at length yesterday with Vanderbilt administrators.

This situation and this thread are about to get interesting. I'm all for it, although I don't want Fulmer to gain any AD experience that might give him something to push off of to get to UT's AD position one day.

Only experience he could get like that at Vandy is how to run an intramural department.


But seriously, anything to keep him out of the AD discussion for UT. That would be horrible.

Fulmer as UTAD would make UTGibbs and Mike West happy. Not sure if they are the same person.

I think he could actually be a good fit for Vanderbilt.

I would say he should take the job and give a lot of money to a competent DC and a competent OC who can prepare the team to play the option.

Fulmer coaching option football at Vanderbilt and recruiting the players to play it well would result in 7 or 8 wins a year.

New report from Scoop:

Vanderbilt: Here's the situation, we've been told that 6-8 interviews have been setup. We have learned that Phil Fulmer is not interested in the job despite an earlier report. We'll have more information a little bit later

Well there goes that.

Phillip Fulmer seems to be uninterested in a lot of things

Was really hoping Phil would take the Vandy job. Even though things here under him ended very badly I still like Fulmer. Now with that said I don't want him as our AD but I think Vandy would be a good fit for him.

Vandy must have failed Fulmer's interview.

What is his problem? He's like cousin Eddie, “holding out for that management position” that perfect job that he has no chance of getting. Phil, take the job from one of the few schools that even acknowledge your existence while you can.

Rant over.

He thinks he's above jobs like Vandy.

That's stupid, he's lucky a school like Vandy even considered him.

As much as I despise Fulmer, it would be smart of Vandy to take a run at him.
