Has been reported he will make the trip after all and will be there on Sunday. Guess the Kippy news is making him get out of the house. It was reported he wasn't going, but I for one am glad he is.

For what its' worth Chris Low said yesterday that he never thought Kippy was going to be the guy anyway. He is conviced that Fulmer wants to bring in "fresh blood that will challenge Fulmer and bring in new ideas".

Can't remember exactly when, but about 1 week ago I believe Fulmer had commented that if things go the way he thought they would he wouldn't be going to the conference. I think this was based off of Kippy or Spence accepting.

I wasn't convinced on Kippy myself. I agree that Fulmer needs a challenge from a coach to help better himself, but we will see just how much of a challenge he wants by who he hires.

as crazy as that sounds, i was listening to the Tim Brando show yesterday and he had someone on with him that said basically the same thing.

maybe there's something to that this time. we'll find out soon i'm sure.

i still really believe Fulmer has people on his short list that we aren't even thinking of. I've given up on anyone having any real inside on this. This is completely hush hush.

I mentioned it early in the season on got laughed at, but I still firmly believe Fulmer knows what kind of trouble he's in and he's now willing to do anything, no matter how far from his comfort zone, to get Tennessee back to a BCS Championship contender.

Low also Mentioned that Fulmer has done a really good job of keeping this thing close to the vest.

I agree. I don't buy the B.S. about Fulmer being scared to hire an up and comer because he is worried he might hire his replacement. The guy doesn't need the money and I firmly believe that Tennessee winning championships is his motivation to keep going. You can question his coaching abilities all you want with good reason, but you cannot question his desire to win at UT.

maybe Phil is actually trying to get this right.....the guy described above, in my mind, sounds alot like Chris Hatcher.

i'd have to think if hatcher were a legit candidate, there would have at least been an interview by now, or at least someone would know aobu it.

very well said.

And another thing from the new guy. Wouldn't one think that Coach Fulmer is going to the coaches conference to interview some like Hatcher?
