FWIW, I won't be one of those posters. But that's primarily because I already have my doubts.

I think there will be more than 1 out of 7 LG that's a conservative estimate buddy...I give him a mulligan on this year with you guys because the whole country, not just UT and not just the SEC is going to be chasing you guys all year, ya'll are just flat out stacked

And you should have your doubts, I gurantee it ya'll aren't the only fan base that doubt/hate him right now, I would say there are a couple just to the North of ya that feel the same way...Everyone wants to see Kiffin fail because of the statements he's made, I know if I was a rival fan I would

If he just owned up and said I handled the last 5 years pretty poorly and I understand why the fanbase needed a change then everyone would respect him for what he did for the program. But now he keeps taking suttle jabs at how it went down and everyone talks sh*t. It's very frustrating and I am ready for this season to start!

I agree

Agreed, Phil done same great things and as a life long Vol fan I will be greatful for him and what he has done, I'm only 19 so he has been the Coach here ever since I can remember so IMO he is UT football, but it's time to let him go, the people that are on here dogging him all the time just gets old, its like beating a 1 year old dead horse...Everyone has a right to their opinion but reading the same crap about how bad Phil was gets old

A school I'd keep an eye on w.r.t. Fulmer coaching again is Louisville. Kragthorpe is almost certainly going to get canned after this season. They would probably be one of the highest caliber programs that would consider hiring him. I can't see another program on the level of UT taking a chance on him.

It seems like Notre Dame's head coaching spot will be open soon. If Charlie Weis has another mediocre year then Fulmer could have a good shot at that spot.

This is funnier than Dave Chapelle or Stephen Colbert have ever hoped to be.

CPF at Notre Dame? He fits the mold of Weiss.

I mean that literally.

I admit it. I don't like him because out of the gate he went after Meyer and it was weak and whiny. I only know of his old coaching what is reported in the media (and also posted here), and that seems to be a huge question mark.

And then he has his tantrum with Pahokee.

I dunno.' I can't tell if my thoughts about him are just a desire to see him blow up because I think he's been such a tool or because I have a legitimate hunch that he's in over his head. And then there's always the possibility he'll turn out great for you, in which case I'll just have to grin and bear it.

Unbelievable.

not that your reading it with any bias either

You read it differently?

Fulmer has always been like that and I've been saying it since I joined the board: he ALWAYS casts his taking of responsibility with some sort of hesitation or reservation and ALWAYS with the not so subtle statement "It's my fault (but not really)."

[vol_in_il]

I guess I'm lacking reading comprehension..I missed the "not really" in the paragraph

Does it though?? Really? He says he has some responsibility. It's just lame on his part. And fwiw I like Fulmer, but his attitude toward this whole things has been lame and sulking.

Anyways, another program that would fit with Phil might be TAMU. Thoughts on what happens if they get restless with their current status at the cellar of the Big XII South?

He has no ties to aTm therefore has a snowballs chance in hell in getting a job here. Thanks and gig em.

Randy Shannon will not cut it at the U. Fulmer could thrive down there in a talent rich area with his loose discipline style. Plus, re-establishing Miami as an elite program would help him bang a nail in the Gator's coffin.
