Is that Steve Fuller the former quarterback for Clemson? And da bears?I’m not overly concerned about Hugh Freeze, he is probably the best candidate, but. We are no longer a top flight program. If Fuller is stopping the hire Pruitt should break ties with Fuller and UT. I’m not crazy about how Fuller got the Head Coach position nor the AD job. Why in the world would we pay him 6 million not to coach and turn around and pay him millions to hire the coaches. Sorry just had to rant, but I’m sure there,s a few Vol fans that agree with me.
I understand your post and why you'd feel this way, I myself am also just numb on these coaching searches and got myself all worked up to a pissed state. Then my wife pointed out to me that while my anger n hatred is warranted due to the previous admins and hires that I needed to relax and just patiently wait cause 1 thing is different and that is that we have Fulmer as AD and 1 thing is for sure...... No one of us fans want this program back to it's winning traditions more than Phil. And he will not put the program in a position to fail or be stained with negativity. So the 1 thing I will point to as a reason for hope for the best hire isThere is literally nothing you can point to that would give anyone a glimmer of hope that this is true
Getting caught calling escort services and getting a show cause over lack of institutional control isn't exactly a guilt free existence.
Low said the same thing on Sirius. And I didn't get that Fulmer wasn't allowing it. I got that Fulmer wanted to check all of the boxes, make sure everything was in order before they moved on it.
I agree. My concern would be the same I had with Bruce Pearl. What he did doesn't bother me as much as how recklessly stupid he was.It's definitely baggage but I think the NCAA is nothing more than a paper tiger now when it comes to P5 schools. They would be way down on my list of worries with this hire.
Let's face it Freeze has had issues with women and the NCAA. I believe in giving 2nd chances (I've been lucky enough to have been afforded 2nd chances myself) but I also understand if you're hiring a high profile coach at a high profile university every rumor has to be checked out. I don't know if Freeze has been totally vetted yet but I trust Fulmer and staff to do the right thing. If the job is offered we can be fairly certain there is little chance there is something under the rug that is going to come back and bite us in the butt. If the job is offered, it's up to Freeze.
