Fulmer Meddling?

:eek:hmy:

"There also are whispers out of Knoxville that the hard-charging Pruitt and new athletic director Phillip Fulmer are not exactly seeing eye to eye as both feel their way in their new roles. And maybe those growing pains are to be expected considering the newness in some ways and the old habits — Fulmer being the coach; Pruitt working for guys way more famous than the AD — in others."

Idk where your going with this but Fulmer would not have hired him if he didn’t like Pruitt. Fulmer just like us as fans are sick of seeing our beloved football program struggle and of course there might be a few bumps in the road in building there relationship but this is nothing to be concerned with

"This shouldn"t be anything for Vols fans to worry about...but, what the heck; I am going to write an article about it anyway to create some drama. "

If true, it isn't surprising. As soon as Fulmer was made AD, people here wondered if he would do that with a head football coach.

We have no idea if Fuller is meddling. Not seeing 100% eye to eye for an AD and HC is more common than rare, and certainly doesn't indicate that Fuller is meddling. Fulmer might possibly have suggested something that Pruitt nixed, but that's not meddling. If Fuller tried to force his ideas onto Pruitt, that would be meddling, but those articles are a long way from suggesting that.

The AtoZ article (by Zach Ragan) is self-contradictory. Passes on the report from a Chattanooga paper that the AD and head coach are not seeing eye to eye, then says it's nothing to worry about.

Pick your stance, Zach. Either it's nothing, and you needn't have written a bogus article, or it's something, and you shouldn't dismiss it.

I personally think it's the former. The guy who wrote the Chattanooga Times Free Press article that Ragan was quoting is a Georgia native and Auburn alum named Jay Greeson. I suspect Jay took a nanite-sized bit of info from a low-level source somewhere in the Anderson complex and used it to pile on with fellow Georgians Aaron Murray and David Pollack.

The timing would be waaaay too coincidental otherwise.

Not buying it at all. Sounds to me like a shock jock lure.

Sounds like typical media trying to generate news when there is no news. Seems like maybe somebody was a Aaron Murray or Marck Richt sympathizer that wrote this crap to give their tales some legs.....

Those so-called whispers out of Knoxville sound more akin to a hissing brood of vipers down in Athens to me.

I didn't find either piece to be all that negative. So they don't see eye to eye on everything.

After reading entire article, much to do about nothing! Nothing to see here.. JMO

Micro-management is a destroyer of initiative and ambition. Creates indecision. Hope Fulmer is smarter than to meddle. Pruitt has to have his wings to fly.
