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.
