I couldn’t agree more. Saban wanted him on D. Butch lies to him and told him he’d get a shot at qb. He embraced the change and excelled. Praying he stays healthy and get the payday he deserves.
Sorry 03, my memory fails me since my first season in 1975. I’ll take a win over Bama any day because quite frankly there’s no more satisfaction in the world for this Vol. True Spurrier did pay him back, but nothing can top besting him in his final game at his alma mater.
Beat Spurrier in the Swamp in his last home game in Florida maybe? Or how about in 04 when he took an unranked team into Miami that was top 5.. and there’s Bama where shall we start w record vs bama?
I’ll never understand how the last decade of disasters doesn’t change the CPF haters minds. He’s not our savior, not anymore,but when outside coaches see a program cannibalize one of its own is it little wonder how we ended up with Dooley? Jones? Pruitt?
I’ll give you the first couple of years but this statement is generally false. The program started declining 05/06 after the administration started stressing CPF recruit more players of “character” after many off the field incidents. CPF followed orders then took the fall.
Bottom line is Johnny...
I’ve never understood the hostility towards our 152-52 HOF coach and the greatest Vols coach of my lifetime. I left this board years ago because the vitriol against Fulmer never ceased. I guess some things never change.
He was a great QB in HS. But whatever man, the people that know him knew the move to WR was a mistake. But we supported him, and he embraced it and has excelled at the position. Butch think has gotten us to this point. Don’t think like Butch
