This guy has a hard on for Tennessee. Anyone know his story?

Phil's undoing as a head coach was that he didn't manage his staff well. Two times Cutcliffe left. Both times Fulmer made a bad hire. The second time it cost him his job. I love Fulmer for all of the positive things he did here and all he stands for, but I'm not sure he's the guy I want making coaching hires.

It wasn't so much the hires as much as it was the Butch type meddling. I mean look at Randy Sanders now? He had one bad year but he coached our national title game win so of course he was getting that job. He had some nice offenses with Casey Clausen. The mistake came in the QB shuffle between Ainge and Clausen. Sanders was scape goat and Phil could pull Cut at time.

Clawson was too much of a drastic change for the personell. Obviously we see why he hired him the guy has went on to be HC at Bowling Green and Wake Forest. This wasn't really a bad hire but a bad fit. He had Petty and Boyd lined up when nobody wanted them then both blew up after Kiffin let them go

So both guys have went on to have great success. I'd say Fulmer knew how to hire dang good coaches. Dan Brooks has been a beast at Clemson. Cut is a star. Chavis continued to shine elsewhere.

Pretty interesting that we would hire a person to be AD and in control over all UT athletics, but we fired him because he ran the football program into the ground. Not saying that is my opinion, but I'm already hearing this being put out there. It's how we do it at UT.

Maybe this?

Wolken is a Vandy grad. He also lived and worked in Memphis. He loves to talk down to UT. He did he when he was in Memphis and liked to act like UT was so far below Memphis as a basketball program.

He is a Vandy grad and was formerly the beat writer for the University of Memphis at the CA. He is on Memphis radio every Friday. Just like most of these type guys, he has strong opinions and a little bit of arrogance.

Not that I would hate a fulmer hire, but does anyone else get the feeling that his name is popping up now because the money guys can't agree on anyone else and they think they can "control" him so to speak?

Fulmer didn't run the program into the ground. He got lax in recruiting and was trending down. One year removed from Eric Ainge hitting LSU DB between the 1 and 3 on his jersey to lose the SEC Championship.

Mike Hamilton buried us alive with his ineptitude.

This is out there but does anyone else think that Butch saw how bama did their AD hire and think to himself. There was a lot of confusion and little time to dig dirt maybe I should do that with the DB hire and see what happens

I think it's popping up because the University of Tennessee is bad at making good decisions. It's infectious.
