This is what Tennessee football has come to. The AD spends his time alternately covering for and then strategizing about firing a has-been coach that holds the entire program hostage because of his ego and his desire to top Neyland. Meanwhile, the AD is quietly jetting around the country so as not to irritate King Phill-up. The fans are left wondering what's going on and whether they should fork out the $$$$$$ to eat cold hot dogs from Sodexxxx-ho and see UT get their behinds handed to them on Saturday night.
If we had a UT guy as AD, he would have called this fight several games ago (if not last year), and he would have announced that this will be Coach Fulmer's last season. That way, we could all wish Fulmer well on his way out, and the AD could openly begin a search for a new coach. Ridiculous.
