Adams interview with Blackburn

[Biopsyman]

This is becoming better than all my children

Adams and Fulmer have always been close. Therefore, I'm not surprised at all that's he's trying to discredit Blackburn.

I haven't read the Adams article on Fulmer, but at the end of his interview with Blackburn, he said he came to the conclusion that UT needed to hire him (Blackburn). So my question is, how is he trying to discredit blackburn if he's saying to hire Blackburn, after the article he wrote on Phillip Fulmer?

He wouldn't "immediately turn on him." The columnist will assess the AD's performance //over time// just like the coaches and AD at every school are assessed /over time/ by sports writers and columnists--on the strength of his hires, financial performance and other criteria. Another southerner who doesn't understand the media...what a surprise.

Freak, we really need a dislike button......

Best article I've read from Adams in years. Er, make that the first article I've read in years.

When John Adams dies, I know it would take alot of time to find someone who would engrave "prick" on a tombstone, and then it would cost a whole lot extra. But in the end, it would be worth every hour and every dollar.

I am really surprised that Blackburn and Fulmer are playing this out in the media and discussing this.

All of this is really not good for Tennessee. This is playing out like a political race for an office.

If those making decisions are smart - they will find a experienced AD and walk away from these two.

 

[secking]

calling Adams a reporter is like calling Jerry Springer a broadcast journalist.

Do you know what job Springer had before his show? He was the Mayor of Cincinnati.

I think Adams would be a perfect fit for somewhere like Chicago.

Adam's already wrote up a piece for Fulmer yesterday. He is snuggling up to Fulmer.

Come on, man. If u read Adams, while Fulmer was coaching, u would know that this is as far from a truthful statement as u can possibly be

 

[Coug]

Only a glorified columnist would insert rumors from people who don't even know the subject of an article in said article.

 

[joevol33]

Adams will be an advocate for him because Adams thinks UT is going in another direction however if Blackburn is hired Adams will immediately turn on him. That's just the was John is.

Spot on.

Who cares my god

Who cares about the AD search?

...or New York, or Seattle, or Phoenix, or Havana, or Damascus.......

Are you sure you didn't mean to use blue font?
This is as far from reality as one can get. Adams was a thorn when Fulmer was struggling and likely fed a stream of media criticism that led to his firing.

 

[omghulkhands]

Did anyone even read the article? A lot of the people commenting in this thread are so off base they obviously didn't

 

[Boca Vol]

These aren't Adams quotes. Do you work for CNN? Do you have an agenda against Adams?

lol:lol:lol:lol:

This. Most of the whining about Adams on this thread seem to be from people that didn't read the article.

they didn't have time to read the article they just hate on Adams( he is tough to take), and they would have been late to class if they had taken the time.

John Adams: David Blackburn addresses rumors

Another John Adams interview he conducted in a bathroom stall with his imaginary friends. Why is this thread worthy?

They don't have to, Boca. It's John Adams.

It's like if someone tells you to walk into a sewer. Do you really have to go to know what it will smell like?

And I did read it, and it IS the crap they say it is. Maybe they are psychic?

NUO they havn't! Ask him about Vicky in the press box!!

 

[therealitytheory]

I was already pretty much sold on Blackburn, but now that I know that Adams doesn't like him I am 100% behind Blackburn for AD.

For his introductory press conference they should play "Blackbird" by the Beatles but change it to "Blackburn singing in the dead of night."

Adams, in the title of his article, said Blackburn is the perfect hire. Don't let Adam's silliness confuse you - he is solidly behind DB.
