Can someone give me a link to the press conference?

Tennessee Athletics Press Conference - 12.1.17 - YouTube

 

[volundeer]

Just fyi, because there are no bets per Grand Poobah, my offer is a gift for him to be willing to come on here and actually risk something personally because if the info was correct it wouldn't be too hard to find out who he is.

It's a gesture of good faith and appreciation for what he did during this crazy week. And......we wait!

You are correct. My mistake. Deerhunter wanted bets but they weren’t taken. However, gifts were offered under certain circumstances.

 

[VFL-82-JP]

Phillip Fulmer Appointed to Lead Tennessee Athletics - University of Tennessee Athletics

What timing. The very minute the AD staff meeting started. Frees all those AD staffers from feeling any need to run out and tweet/text their buddies.

 

[Grand Vol]

Banner Elk, NC myself.

Always nice to meet fellow NC VOLS.

Oh and shout out to Grand as a fellow Erwin native.

OKC Here and about to go pantless through the office park I'm working in!

IT'S...ABOUT...TO...GO...DOWN!

 

[preacherwebb]

Fulmers first order of business, after hiring a coach of course....


Put the athletic department back out on its own. Amirite?

if the gruden conspiracy is right, that's part of this deal already.

 

[Coastypop]

They are the ones that kicked him to the curb. I think he takes the reins back.

I sure hope so..... and I am trying to have faith he will just trying to be cautious

 

[Ron Swanson]

Howdy folks.

So we back to full Gruden? Details? Fulmer going to make it happen?

 

[90 Vol]

He gave the Hamilton the okay to fire him. C'mon man what do you think?

Just being paranoid. This has been some crazy shizz man.

 

[VolNExile]

long story short he said gruden was coming by end of weekend

Very long, and a bit incoherent

It's funny, he was saying what a lot of people here are hoping for, but he came in in a really belligerent manner with lots of **** and generally irritated the fire out of everyone.

No idea why he was so pugnacious, but there you go.

Thank you very much sir I definitely appreciate it

 

[CINCYVOL]

Such a great day to be a VOL, this has been so much fun. I am not a donor or alumni, was born in Knoxville and went to games with my Dad growing up, best times we ever spent together. My Dad is gone now, but continue the tradition of going to one game a year with my 12 year old Son, and now my 10 year old Daughter wants to go as well. Although I don't contribute much to the bottom line, I still have a voice and have done my very small part of emailing. Can't wait for VOLS to be back on top, my kids have never seen a winner and that is about to change.

 

[tennvols77]

If I am wrong and I called deer hunter a troll I'll personally ask for both of his daughters hand in marriage no matter how good or bad they look!..before you judge volnation!..I'm doing it for you and the cause.....carry on

Then I guess I need to send you a f****** wedding gift too huh.......

 

[HeadVol77]

How could I forget? Or was it visor eating?

Visor for GV

Deer gets the hat

 

[5FingerVolPunch]

Good save, brother.

Because she's standing behind you reading the screen right now.

Good spidey senses.

Lol. No I actually did marry out of my league. I get crap about her all the time.

 

[volgr]

Peyton can save his name, if he helps "recruit" Gruden in the final story. We need him around and we need him visible. Everyone deserves a mulligan, especially someone who has done as much as #16.

 

[UTSuave’]

Then I guess I need to send you a f****** wedding gift too huh.......

Depends I kinda pissed him off lastnight 😂😂 I might get the hell no john Wayne style

 

[ATPVol]

Remember when a poster said something long the lines of

AD: Fulmer
HC: Gruden
OC: Tee
DC: Steele

And everybody thought they were crazy and trolled out of the room....

Well Ladies and Gentleman where are we NOW?

Seems a lot closer to that then not.

Gruden to The Hill!

 

[BIGORANGEFISH]

all i want in a new coach:

Good offensive scheme
recruits well
understands our traditions
draws the fans out
energizes the program
national splash

I didn’t care for his potty mouth but in the end I like him. Btw still like your new AVI

 

[Poppa T]

Why only 2 yrs?

Long enough to get things stabilized and moving in right direction. Bet he has the next guy under him to mentor and take over.

Hoping that DiPietro and Davenport have been listening to my (and others)
input that UT NEEDS an executive resource plan in place for future leaders. Grow and mentor VFLs and alumni.

 

[preacherwebb]

I agree because Coach Fulmer is one of us, not a transplant that looks at the fan base as beneath him. He has his life invested in this university and I believe that will be what guides him. Hamilton, Hart, & Currie never understood that nor cared to.

fixed that for you.

 

[volundeer]

I sure hope so..... and I am trying to have faith he will just trying to be cautious

Me too Coasty!

 

[otis72]

Currie still on the payroll? on paid leave? did i read that right?

I think for a future son-in-law some backbone and piss and vinegar and chutzpah are mandatory. So, you might be ok.
