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.
And what would be bizarre about it?
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.
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?
