Can't help but think Fulmer is throwing folks under the bus. You really think he didn't know what was going on?

His expertise.

 

[Border Vol]

Well Kevin Steele gets a season as Tennessee head football coach.

 

[DaddyChad]

I mean seriously you can’t be surprised by this

 

[Volnbeers]

fulmer is basically "gonna review film" and work like heck"

 

['Boro-vol]

No. And it's reckless to assume such. Steele has experience under Bowden, Saban, Malzahn, Miles, and Swinney. He deserves the benefit of the doubt and our undivided support.

People said the same about Coach Toehead. You see where that got us.

No...I will proceed with healthy skepticism of any new coach. Gotta prove it first.

 

[Border Vol]

This love letter to Phil was vomitous. He's the ultimate cause and has ultimate responsibility for this mess.

The UT President is kissing a lot of arse

 

[SmokeyDog1973]

Just shut the program down this is gotten beyond embarrassing .

 

[VolArmy74]

Phil is the master of chucking people under the bus.

He's acting like he was ready to go at any time. He just signed a damn raise and extension.

 

[DaddyChad]

Steele is a bridge to get us to a new AD and coach. He makes a lot of sense given we’re going to be in a lurch with the investigation dragging out.

 

[GAVol]

A game thread for a press conference firing all the coaches and AD is the most Tennessee thing ever.

 

[SmokeyDog1973]

65 year old Steele is not the answer.

 

['Boro-vol]

Phil is the master of chucking people under the bus.

He's acting like he was ready to go at any time. He just signed a damn raise and extension.

My respect for Fulmer is cratered. Fulmer-first is his motto, and all of this proves it.

 

[VeeOhElEsYes]

A game thread for a press conference firing all the coaches and AD is the most Tennessee thing ever.

GBO!!!!

 

[Jravol78]

Oh ffs with the Fulmer love

. Thought same thing . FWIW I’m not a fulmer hater but he is responsible for a lot of the mess and her going on and on AND ON with the love fest was barf inducing

 

[bpalmer28]

9-37 as HC, no he doesn't deserve our support.

Give me a break dude how long ago was that? Get out of here with that pessimistic BS.. He can be a helluva CEO. He's gained WAY more valuable experience since his last stint as a HC, which was outside of comfort zone which is the SEC.

 

[volfanhill]

9-37 as HC, no he doesn't deserve our support.

He's a place holder. Nothing more. Relax.

 

[82_VOL_83]

Fulmer: there is a light.....

 

[bpalmer28]

Yes. Another unproven defensive HC is the correct path.

There's no way Tennessee can hire a proven HC during an investigation. This is the best path forward. He'll do well.

 

[Sara Clark]

This year already sucks. Everything...all the way around.

 

[BUCCnVOLfan]

I just don’t get it!! This happens at Clemson, Bama, Oklahoma, etc...... Did Pruitt know about this or not??

How many more years behind will this put us?!?

 

[GAVol]

65 year old Steele is not the answer.

They know that. But in mid-January and with NCAA sanctions hanging over our heads, there aren't a lot of good answers.

 

[OL SMOKEY]

Randy Boyd kissing some serious Chancellor Plowman and Fulmer butt

 

[VolArmy74]

The sad thing is, we weren't recruiting any better than average for anyone here.

 

[chattaboogie]

We will not

If you say so. I just don’t buy that UT conducted an interim head coach search to bring Kevin Steele in for two weeks.

 

[Sara Clark]

I just don’t get it!! This happens at Clemson, Bama, Oklahoma, etc...... Did Pruitt know about this or not??

I guess it depends on the punishment the NCAA hands down.
