Fulmer getting an extension as AD

It doesn't seem like an "extension." It was open ended before and now there is a finite end in black and white.

Congratulations and GO BIG ORANGE!

People on this board saying he was five and out. Might be the general sentiment in the fandom. This quashes that. Along with the Haslam BOT stuff, job security is ALWAYS timely.

Job Security? As if multi-millionaire Fulmer needed any job security. Fulmer is charging toward and past 70 with a four year contract.

Of all the bad extensions we’ve given over the years, this isn’t one of them. I have no issue with it.

What's a few more million between friends right Bev?

Hasn't been that long since they finished paying off his buyout for tanking the football program in the first place.

I think it is a huge mistake. The game passed him by years ago. He won by overwhelming talent and David Cutcliffe. He has a grudge about getting fired and will be meddling every chance he gets. Pay him 300k a year on a year to year contract. If he behaves, Renew his contract, if not, send him packing. It’s not like he’s a hot commodity not has he ever been since he was fired.

He’s not the coach so I’m not sure what the game passing him by or David Cutclife have to with anything.

A grudge against whom? An AD that’s no longer around?

If he behaves? Lol.

So much damn hate and utter stupidity for an all-time great Vol who loves his university and has taken over the freaking tire fire that has been the Vol AD and stabilized it.

Thank God Philip Fulmer, after being ished on multiple times despite essentially giving his life to the university of Tennessee, swallowed his pride and was there ready to help lead Vol athletics out of the gutter when asked.

And instead of being grateful, we got blithering idiots on here running him through the mud. Thank God the other 95% of us appreciate Fulmer and take the exact opposite, and correct, opinion of him.

Well said Freak. The knee jerk, illogical, nonsensical, reflexive dislike for Fulmer is just mind boggling.

I thought Fulmer was a horrible backward choice at least according to the ASU AD. Haven't heard him chime in today. I think he's got his hands full at the moment with that "elite" FB hire he landed out there! LOL.

The fact that the guy who hired herm Edwards doesn't think fulmer should be AD, is Exactly why I think fulmer should be AD.

People always going to argue about Fulmer, don't care, glad he's our AD.

But every post that I've ever noticed from you, is bashing a current or former coach, player or Vol period. Even General Neyland.
The only people that should be sorry is anyone that buys into your shtick.

No he didn't. They fulfilled the contractual obligations when they fired him too soon. While a coach at UT, he donated a million dollars to UT. How many coaches here have done that?

It really is. We agree on that. You’d think after what we’ve experienced since he left, people might look back a bit more fondly. Guess not.

Regardless, I love having him as AD. JMO

This "game has passed so and so by" is just really getting old crap. He won because he was the head coach calling the shots. Hall of Fame, like it or not. Natty Champ, like it or not.

I love UT with a passion, but if I were owed millions of dollars, I’m taking it. Sorry. Not sorry.

The hiring of Phil as AD has been one of the best moves UT sports has done in a very long time. I'm looking forward to the good times ahead. And, ready to go to more National Championship games and celebrate the wins.
