| It wasn't all his fault:
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."
If Tennessee had reached a bowl last season, would he still have his job? "I think so, but I am not the one to answer that," says Fulmer, laughing. "We kind of screwed two or three games up."

| Well, as was his usual thing, he subtly blames others, while pretending to take the fall.

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 really have a couple of big decisions with what I am going to do with television," says Fulmer, who spent four years as a player, 13 as an assistant and 17 as coach at Tennessee. "I have to ask myself if I want that significant of an obligation for 16 or 17 weeks."
| If he doesn't want any significant obligations, coaching doesn't sound like a job he should have either. | |

| I have stated previously that I thought he would and should get another coaching job.I have saw nothing in the last 7 months to alter that assessment. | |

It's very frustrating and I am ready for this season to start! | No the fan's irritation came with the actual results the last five years, and possibly the greater want of national championships after rivals started winning them. If he just kept saying it was only his fault, he possibly could have been fired sooner honestly (and if he cried, well the fans would have hated him too...)
Now, good for him for looking for another job rather than just sitting around. Gotta follow your passion in this world whatever it is.
And guys, fulmer's not part of UT anymore. And till he starts complaining and fussing every interview like majors, well it doesn't deserve too much more attention. | |
