Does Fulmer Survive?

[Tennesseefan2019]

I think if Jeremy Pruitt goes down in flames and gets canned I think Phil Fulmer will probably follow him.

Miami was 03. What happened when other SEC teams upgraded their coaches? Spurrier promptly came back and whipped Phil at Neyland in 05. You really want to hang your hat on beating pitiful bama teams in the 90’s?

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.

Right now? I feel he would have at least beaten this bunch.

Very well may have. But from where this program is I highly doubt he could fix it......I could be wrong.

In like 17 years he has only had 2 seasons better than 9 wins, and 5 seasons of 7 or fewer wins.

Sure it would prob be better, but for me I think it would take quite a bit more to get Tennessee actually “back.”

I’m not sure anything like that is ever coming, and if it did, you can bet it would cost a freakin fortune.

So.....If Fulmer wasn't AD we probably lose Barnes.....how soon we forget!!!!
Who do you really think Fulmer could have hired as football coach under the circumstances.
Some of you need to grow up.

Do we end up with the worst of all worlds? Another Haslam puppet as the AD and another Haslam influenced hire as HFC? Possibly Schiano?

Maybe my fears are unwarranted, but I could see this very power play and it getting worse before it gets better. Talk me off the ledge.

Sure don't want Haslam, back in control either.

Phil’s contract is ironclad — he will be around for years

maybe 3 more years at most
