All of the above are correct. Just to reiterate, Fulmer told him he would play WR here. Kentucky straight lied to him and told him he would play QB.
However, the question now becomes had he came here as WR, would he have had the same success both in college and NFL?
Of course the below video is humorous as much as any exchange between CLK and Finebaum but, Kiffin seems to be, well, kinda firm on the statement that Fulmer believes he got him fired.
As fast as things moved at that time, could it have been true? Seems had it were, someone in the know would...
I honestly believe his father thought Nico was better than he was and, I think his father thought higher of himself as being a business person/negotiator/smart. I actually think he believes that us making it to a playoff game either increased Nico because it was his doing or, someone would pay...
Now he is saying we (Tennessee fans) did not appreciate him or the two helmets he broke against Ohio State in the playoff game.
This is what I don’t get about people. He was paid $2 million dollars plus an education plus all of the benefits of playing for a top notch DI football program and yet...
1990 my friend. Can’t remember when the went up but I do remember the price of those for that game.
I had not experienced anything other than small town things. Therefore, a $22 ticket stood out because movie tickets were $4/$5 and I could take a girl out for a Saturday night for $20.
I never thought Nico was worth the $2.4 million we were giving him but, I do think he is worth the $1.5 million UCLA is giving him. I think they will get a reasonable return on their investment. He does have some ability. He has experience. He may even be able to help them gain a recruit or two...
I think most of the Munoz hype was from Fulmer. I know he had knee problems but, there were guys who should have been starting over him his last year. I don’t know why Fulmer was so high on him because he was a mistake prone kid. I know he had a penchant to find the best freshman QB on the team...
That’s one thing about the Majors era; you never knew which outfit they were wearing until John Ward announced it just before the game started.
On another note, that year CLK came out for the game in black jerseys with orange pants, was kind of cool. I think I saw a video saying he wanted all...
I know I’m old but for my first game, we purchased two tickets for the face value of $22 per ticket and, I thought that was sky high! That was when I was in high school. Several years later in grad school, tickets were free but if you purchased an extra ticket, it was only $10.
There was a documentary many years ago I either saw or read pertaining to Vandy being in the SEC. It stated they have value because they give the other SEC schools a DI win.
Still, how can that be valued when they also lose to ETSU and Middle Tennessee State?
