What do you mean “no ish Phil”? If you’ve got one eye and a grain of salt and watched UT athletics for 10 minutes over the last 10 years, especially the football program, you know that absolutely no one affiliated with Tennessee, not one person, showed any sign of recognition of this point.Well no sh*t Phil.

Thank God for Phil Fulmer and his wisdom in knowing how important what he said is and then going about changing the culture and mindset around it. He understands how important it is and how everyone in the power structure has to be aligned for this to work...from the UT system President to the chancellor to the Board to the AD to the head coaches. Thank God he’s there or we’d have no chance of seeing UT athletics get back to being competitive again.
Said Tennessee has “long invested in buildings, but now we’re investing in our people.”
That’s the secret to winning. Few schools match Tennessee in total AD facilities but they’ve made some horrible “people” decisions. Hopefully those are in the past.
Credit goes to Boyd and Fulmer for stepping up and retaining Barnes when UCLA tried to hire Barnes.
di Pietro out is hugeThe most telling comment from Fulmer was when he said for the first time since 2003 the entire University is aligned, from the President to the Chancellor down to the AD. It's been 16 years since the athletics Dept. Has had the support from th.e higher ups. We may actually start seeing progress. So thankful Fulmer is our AD and Booger Cheek is gone!
