I listen to his interviews on the internet. It can't stomach the show but his interviews are the best that I have come across.

I was referring to you. You were implying that any non-fulmerite resented the fact that Fulmer but Bama on probation.

I, nor anyone else I know who wanted Phil fired, wanted him fired for that reason. We did not like the on-field product or his attitude of "working like heck."

I have no problem with him screwing over the bammers. The only ones who were really ruined over it were the Alabama fans, hence my jokingly questioning who you are actually a fan for, since you seem to be confused.

short version:

johnny pissed big money off (his fault). "i'm johnny majors - screw you".
johnny was hell on assistants and, to a degree, players.
johnny had a real bad year - 88.
johnny lost to bama alot.
johnny's drinking and eating habits led to him needing heart surgery.
phil took a talented returning cast and exceeded expectations with a loose, player-friendly style.
johnny, seemingly envious of phil's growing popularity, rushed back to the sidelines and we lost several games we should've won.
phil, sensing his time was now, got together with the money johnny had scorned and threatened to take his ball and a good portion of the assistants to clemson.
johnny was gone, baby, gone.

was it scandalous? not terribly, depending on your loyalty. like recently, it was time anyway. can i see why johnny won't refer to phil or doug by name? definitely

Finebomb plays his audience to the hilt, and Billy Bob and Jim Ed eat it up. He's actually a genius, a UT grad that is making millions pandering to Bammers by slamming his alma mater.

FWIW, I wouldn't piss on Finebomb if he was on fire, but he found the easiest and most gullible venue to riches, Bammer fans.

Truer words may not have been written.

I caution anyone who calls Small a bammer. After listening to his show for a while, I can't say that he is a fan of any program other than his own. He says the right things to get people to listen and act a fool on and off of his show. I think he is more worried about riling up or pumping up his listeners than he is any sports outcome.

I am not confused. Go back over the archives of posts and more times than not, Majors and Bama always become the topic. The posts cite those 2 reason's as proof of CPF's lack of character.

Residents of trailer parks all over alabama get real excited about their favorite radio personality, finebaum, and especially his big love affair with saban/bama.

This is a pretty good Cliff's Notes summary of what happened. The only thing I would add is that whether you think Fulmer behaved dishonorably depends on whether you think Fulmer owed any personal loyalty to Majors at all. Maybe your boss is an ass, sure, but does that make it okay to go over his head to the board of directors and campaign for his job while he's still recovering from heart surgery? Especially if you owe your own career to the guy in the first place?

As I recall, about 95 percent of the people on campus at the time felt like Fulmer stabbed Majors in the back, but about 95 percent also felt like making the change was the right move. It was an ugly situation where nobody was really in the right.

All you have to do is listen to his regular callers to get a feel for the level of intellect Palmbaum has on his show...Shane, plumber by trade, aspiring sports journalist...complete idiot!...pandering to Palmbaums every whim in order to get air time...aka...lap dog! I-Man the Aubbie, he fires some witty shots but he's still pretty country...Charles from Realtown...arrrgh!!...middleaged Aubbie redneck that wants to give Palmbaum and anybody else that doesn't agree with him a "country-boy a$$whoopin" I could go on and on but you get the point. Its basically a show full of rednecks that do not mention anything about detailed football analysis...only threats and jabs led by the master puppeteer/pot-stirrer...your truly.

Is Palmbaum on our payroll? He keeps enough venom stirred up for me to believe he's a UT "plant".

Fulmer won two big upsets when Johnny was recuperating and Majors couldn't stand it....he rushed his return, then lost three straight conference games to Arkansas, Alabama, and South Carolina. The Alabama loss was 7 in a row and put Majors record against the Tide at 4-13. So we had a situation of Majors, who should have been fired at the end of 1988; versus an up and comer Fulmer that had the Vols playing above their heads.......

yea, if he would have been fired in 88 we would have never had to suffer through those sec championships in 89 and 90. :crazy: think a little before posting garbage statements.
