Ok, I have to ask. Where does all this deep seated actual hate and loathing of all things Phillip Fulmer come from?
Sincerely, I want to know, because I really don't get it. All he did was win for us. Sure he had 2 bad seasons out of 16. But even the 2005 season, we were competitive. While we should have done better (and did the next year) it's not the crap show that we saw this past season. The biggest affront I can find on this season is the loss to Vandy.

2008 could arguably be compared more to this past season, but even then, we didn't lose to Vandy and Kentucky in the same year. And by all accounts, the Wyoming game was thrown in protest by the players.

So explain to me why a coach with these record and accomplishments is so reviled with such venom, please. I truly just don't get it.
