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 ends the quote with the buck stops at the HC

Randy Shannon will be just fine, especially when they are in the Orange Bowl in 2 years.

Randy Shannon is a good asst coach, but IMO he will be out this year. He lacks the delegation skills necessary to be the HNIC.

Dont do that. Dont use that abbreviation.

Well, let's see here. Fulmer want's to coach again, eh? Well, he wouldn't want to coach in a top 50 market, because of the thrashing he'd take. Most surely, he'd want at least a 5 year commitment. And, he'd want a job in the South. So, here are the schools we've got left.

- Any Sun Belt school, with the exception of MTSU(Nashville's market), North Texas(Dallas' market), FIU(Miami's market), and FAU(Miami's market)

- Some C-USA schools

- Maybe South Carolina

- Uhh???????????

Bottom line - Fulmer should just try and find some job on ESPN. Hell, anyone that hires Lou Holtz to do TV will most certainly hire a more coherent Fulmer.

I wouldn't use that abbreviation if I were you.

All those millions in buyout cash from UT and fulmer wants to coach again? For what--has his wife already blown through all the money in shopping trips?

It's a free country (for now) and Coach Fulmer is one of a handful of coaches who have won a national championship. He's certainly qualified to coach again and if he wants a chance, he should get one. The man spoiled Vol fans for a good stretch then, yes, he let us down...and he got fired for it. Coach Fulmer got his feelings hurt and, although he is trying to be gracious in the aftermath, the hurt still shows. He might not have deserved another chance to turn the UT program around but I do think he deserves a pass from Vol fans if he still has trouble letting go of his hurt feelings. After reading some of the remarks I have to ask... Is it that hard for us to show some empathy when he gives an interview?

"You always look back at games and wish you had done some things differently," he says. "I certainly was disappointed it ended the way that it did, and I have some responsibility in that. It's always that way with a head coach – the buck stops there. I think anyone would be proud of what we did accomplish. You use it as a learning experience. I had a great time and enjoyed a good run."


He says "I have some responsbility on that" and then "always that way with a head coach -- the buck stops there."

I don't see how you can read that any other way than as him saying other people were at fault and because he's the head coach it all fell on his shoulders.

Reaching a bit.

And why in the world are you concerned with him? He's gone.

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.

I could understand not liking a newby that comes in and takes a shot at our HBC right off the bad but I don't think he meant anything personal(at least at his press conference when he was introduced)by saying what he said...The cheating comment, yeah probably lol

I didn't really keep up much with what went on at Pahokee High School, I do kind of feel like he shouldn't have said what he did but what's done is done and they are all at least on OK terms, enough to where they let us back in to recruit

I think alot of your desire to see him blow up is because he has taken jabs at your team and I don't blame you in the least bit, he has that Steve Spurrier Syndrome with his mouth, he just has a tendancy to piss rival fans off...But I agree you do have a legit hunch that he may be in over his head but only time will tell and IMO(unbiased of course lol)I think Kiffin will work out nicely, we may lose him to the NFL again in time because Lane has said he wants back in the NFL someday but hopefully if he wins early and often it won't be any time soon

I think he is kind of pissed about the fact that he hired Clawson and that eventually lead, partly, to him being let go....I could understand him being a little bitter about that but Phil did hire him, it was one of those deals where he made his bed, I guess MH felt he had to lie in it

I don't think any College Football Programs have the same plans as Fulmer has though.
