Do You Think Phil will be a Good AD?

[Bauce]

I know he bleeds orange, but his hiring selection towards the end of this coaching career was not good.

Can he hire a good coach?


Now we're hearing Bilimea has been spotted on campus...gross

 

[nash101]

He probably has more resources and contacts plus a little understanding of the sport itself. For those reasons he can do better than the last 3 clusters combined.

 

[GrudenVol5th]

I really want Blackburn. But if Phil is against HOH then I’m definitely for it

 

[VolFreakJosh]

I don’t know

 

[OrangeByBirth]

Fulmer is PERFECT until the coaching crap is settled. Then give a new AD (spelled B L A C K B U R N) a chance with a clean start.

 

[preacherman4vols]

Better than what we had. Need Tennessee blood in there

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

I want to believe he will. But Tennessee is not the place to learn how to be an AD. We had a much better available in David Blackburn. I honestly dont know what to think about Fulmer as AD. I do think Phil loves Tennessee. BUT, he may be in way over his head. The AD is not an easy job.

We shall see...

 

[ba51vol]

I'm not sure if I trust him picking our next coach.

 

[BeecherVol]

I don’t know

This.

The Currie victory lap may end up with a blown tire.

Like Jones, I'm going to bet Phil didn't have free rein on who he hired or how much he could pay.

 

[Wolfeman_Vol]

Phil like a him some good ol boy B.S... so I'm not sure. He'll probably hire a retread. After all, he is responsible for the clawfence ever happening.

John Brice says Thunder and Anderson put Phil into place so HELL YEAH! Screw the Haslems! We have done it everyone! Volnation has won!

 

[CountVolcula]

All hope is gone

Good ole boy system still in play in Knoxville

Now we have someone who hired Clawson, only to not let him run his offense, hiring a coach

Do you think Phil will keep his hands off the football team as far as coaching?

 

[Orangedogsrule]

Better than Currie unless his hands are tied also.

 

[volfanatic24]

I think he will do fine just for the simple fact that he's been to the top, and knows what it takes to get to the top.

When you're budget blocked by your administrators, you settle for less.

 

[CountVolcula]

And if it was up to Thornton and Anderson, Phil would still be coaching, no matter how much he was failing

You simply put different people in power

Results will likely be the same

 

[LocoVol]

Nope, think he is a master politician. Will become whatever he needs to be to get and keep the AD job

 

[AllVolinGA]

Yes.

 

[trampas2bad]

No. 1/2 of the problem is not the solution.

 

[Remy]

He has an orange pedigree second to none, he loves and wants what is best for the UTAD and it's players, he wants to win. When was the last time we had an AD who actually had those traits? He can't fail as AD IMO. As long as he hires the right financial people he'll do a superior job in my opinion.

I hope that is the plan, to make him an intern AD

Clawfense not doing too bad now...Coach Fulmer wasn't given enough time...:twocents:

PS. to be perfectly clear...I wanted DB as AD...

GO VOLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He did for the last five years he was coaching.
