Recruiting Forum Football Talk XLIX

[unioncityvol]

Say what you want but beaver started the revolt. He had an agenda and always said his agenda was to topple the power structure at UT

 

[SpringBokVol]

Kinda wanna win and score lots of points too. Can we just do both?

I sure hope so.

it's not over yet - we still have a coach to hire.

 

[Nationdom]

This is why I'm concerned. Maybe Phil was just playing the game at that point and knew someone would call immediately after to get Doeren to back out.

I'm going with that theory til it ain't.

 

[rekinhavoc]

Currie was not representative of the University at that point. Can’t blame Fulmer or UT for that.

Well he was until this morning. Fulmer hires a dud and the love affair will be brief.

 

[Captain Mitch]

So fill me in on what’s happened since this morning till now

I believe

 

[i2amavol]

I'm choosing to believe this is positive. Fulmer wants to win. We have a Tennessee man running the show. He will bring us back.

Hire a Gruden, Leach, Gundy, Kiffin, even Fisher, and he will be a hero. Hire a Steele or himself and his legacy will go down the toilet, IMO.

Thank YOU!!!

This is a great day in UT Football history!!!!

You keep saying this and I want to agree, BUT are you all of a sudden going to change your tune if Fulmer goes and gets some dud like Steele?
It is great that we are through with Currie and people making a push to knock down the Haslams, but let's not lose sight of the fact that we still have to hire a great football coach, like NOW, as our football program is currently imploding...

 

[Nash_Vol97]

Why do people think Fulmer is a Haslam guy? That is totally not the case.

Fulmer is a man. A man's man. He is not a puppet.

Also, Haslam gave the ok for Hammy to fire him AND Fulmer wasn't named AD because the Haslams wanted someone else and the other power players wanted Fulmer.

We got Currie because Haslam did NOT want Fulmer. Charlie Anderson and Thunder wanted Fulmer. Haslam wanted a puppet.

People immediately want to believe the national narrative. Fulmer wasn’t sabotaging, he was saving. Fulmer is far from a Haslam fan and puppet.

100% agree.

 

[Vols2DaWall]

And yes I agree with the previous poster who said the Grumors will only intensify.


Don't listen to them

 

[Tennessee Golfer]

Fulmer brings in Miles as HC, Tee as OC/HCIW, and Steele as DC. Let’s ride.

 

[Burhead]

So fill me in on what’s happened since this morning till now

 

[New-Vols-Fan]

I am sorry, I know there is a lot going on, but I still hope Mike Leach becomes our coach after this.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

I’m afraid Phil is living in a “Tennessee Family” echo chamber for this hire. This concerns me greatly

 

[head1]

Do horses in fact stalk?

stalk·ing horse
ˈstôkiNG ˌhôrs/Submit
noun
1.
a false pretext concealing someone's real intentions.




Funny how that plays out right now eh?

 

[Dooby15]

He’s interesting for sure.

 

[Kingston Vol]

I need you guys to understand that John Currie knew he was going to be fired yesterday. They told him to stay in Knoxville and he wouldn't do it. He knew it was coming.

I understand we like Leach and that was exciting for a moment, but Currie 100% took that meeting so he could leak that he had a deal in place with a candidate people like so he could make Fulmer and the rest look bad when their search gets started.

He's a piece of ****. He just wants everyone to look bad but himself.

 

[ATC_VOL]

Finally caught back up.

It’s being played in the media, especially nationally, that it’s Currie vs Fulmer. I can’t help but feel that it’s actually Haslams vs everyone else.

I pray this is all good news.

 

[Jimmy Football]

I guess I'm ok with this, but I really wish we would just hire Leach anyway. Was ready to have fun with Tennesse football again.

 

[Chief Vol 13]

Fulmer is a Doug Dickey disciple. No one held the Haslams in check better than Dickey.

This is good news.

Yes yes yes. Can't reiterate this enough. We've been at our best when we've had Tennessee people at the top who don't mind the Haslam's.

 

[engineerVOL]

so skeeter was right.

 

[i2amavol]

Fulmer brings in Miles as HC, Tee as OC/HCIW, and Steele as DC. Let’s ride.

Now, I think I could go with that.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

Fulmer brings in Miles as HC, Tee as OC/HCIW, and Steele as DC. Let’s ride.

This all day!

 

[Nash_Vol97]

ESPN tweet just now-

Fulmer plans to take a more active role in the coaching search now.

Boooom!
