Climer "Fulmer will be back!"

You do realize 7-5 or even 6-6 at this point, with this offense, is going to be hard to reach. I agree at 7-5 he's back, but another losing season, which I think is likely, then he's got a good chance of being gone.
That doesn't reach the 8 wins agreed upon in the contract.

Hate rumors, but here's one from my brother...who has lived in Knoxville all his life, and has close ties to a direct descendant of a major booster (sorry, that's the best I can do without betraying confidence).

Lose to Bama..and/or a 7-loss season, and Fulmer is out. Period.

I've held this close since after the UF game, until rex made his post.

The boosters are hoping Fulmer will take a buyout, and ride off into the sunset with his dignity, and pension, intact.

If not, then it gets ugly.

The money will win.

We're gonna lose to Bama, so I consider it a done deal. The only question is whether it's honorable, or ugly.

It's up to Phil.

Oh...we beat MSU by 14.

go vols.

Climer is a jerk!

With 6 games left we have to win 4 to get to 6-6 which I still think would get Fulmer out. Bamma is a loss which leaves us with 5 games to win 4. I don't see us beating everyone left on our schedule so I think 6-6 is the best record we will possibly have.

Here are a couple of quotes from the Hamilton article:



"Hamilton declined to put a win-loss record on what it would take to make a coaching change. Instead, Hamilton said he was looking for a program that showed signs of heading in the right direction.
When pressed on the issue, particularly a 6-6 record, Hamilton said tersely, “Our goals are not to be a .500 ball club.”


"Hamilton said finances won’t be an issue if a change is made. He said there is a $7 million reserve in place to cover such unforeseen expenses. That would nearly cover the cost of the football coaches’ buyouts, which Hamilton said could be over $7.5 million. That figure depends on whether coaches are hired elsewhere."

I was listening to the radio on the way home and the guy (don't know the name) said Fulmer is putting a lot of his hopes on this draft class. If we can pull one or two more 5* players we would likely be looking at a 6 or 7 rated class, he seemed to think that the buyout was going to be too costly.

Aside for Alabama the schedule just isnt that tough. You have MSU, Wyoming,Vandy,Ky and SC. I am not saying we will win all those games. However I wouldnt consider those teams especially tough.

At this point I would say we should be happy to win half those games!

Climer is a Vandy homer and hates UT. He doesn't care enough about UT or know enough people close to our program to have a clue as to what is going on behind the scenes.


Maybe he is just afraid that TN will come after Bobby Johnson (I don't think so)!!!!!

I dont think Tennessee will come after Johnson. Vandy really wants to keep him. They have said as much since his name has come up in names for the next clemson HC.
