How do you know? He could have been. How many guys did Hamilton interview? I mean Kiffin was a proven loser and Tennessee was one year removed from an SEC east title. We were still a very relevant program, yet you replace a HOF coach with a proven loser? Certainly doesnt show that Hamilton did his due dilligence to me. Still doesnt change the fact of how bad those decisions have been for us. Knee jerk hires and fires dont seem to be a great idea.
I am on record as not ever wanting Fulmer fired. You can check that 7 year long thread on Fulmer. Hamilton had 3 months to hire a coach. He told G-Patt he was a mid major coach, same with Sumlin, and settled on Kiffin because he was everything opposite of Coach Fulmer. Hamilton then negotiated the worst contract, with buyout for SC ever. Of course, the writing was on the wall the minute Hamilton was hired because he was a money guy, not a sports guy.
