Former coach Phillip Fulmer is “proud of the stance we took as a university “. He should know. There were a few QB controversies he was involved in but he always seemed to pick the right QB to lead us.

How Phillip Fulmer would handle Tennessee quarterbacks Joey Aguilar, Jake Merklinger

Phillip Fulmer leaned on Peyton Manning, Casey Clausen and Erik Ainge as new quarterbacks. Here's his advice for Tennessee's current QB situation.

He also leaned on some greats that were freshman that turned out to be stellar for us!

Let’s say he takes your advice. If someone asks him to comment on the situation and he responds, “no comment,” how do you think that comes off? You’d be pissed that he threw Heupel under the bus.

Aside from the 152 wins he had, there is no winning for Fulmer with some. The guy devoted most of a 50 year chunk of his life to the program and delivered the only national championship you will ever see. I think he earned the right to comment if asked a question about it.

It would come off as being appropriately inconspicuous. There a several responses he could give if asked that are the same as "no comment" and get nothing but positive feedback for it

Move on from Fulmer, yes he was great, but ended badly. Let’s get some new voices

I would say 2005 was a bit of a disaster, but his handling of 2004 might’ve been his best coaching job.

I to think fulmer stretched out his time here and didn’t end well. But let me put something into perspective for you.

If your a 18-30 year old on this forum,you never knew winning UT football until Heupel. Maybe you want to include some of the decentish Butch years? Yet we have people like yourself on here bashing fulmer who will likely remain one of UTs all time winning coaches. Pair that with he had the only NC we will likely ever see given this new era NIL. We simply aren’t spending the money to compete.

So whether you like it or not, the era of Fulmer football is a good chance the best era we will see in our lifetime.

That was one of the most head scratching 2 years of his career. 2004 might have been his best coaching job ever. All kinds of reasons we should have been primed for another national championship in the next few years. Then came the next year. 2005 was undoubtedly his worst coaching job. 2008 right up there with it. Thank Goodness Cut was here in 2006-2007. Should have been proactive and announced a retirement so a firing wasn't necessary. Probably would have deterred a lot of unnecessary division. Yes, no doubt he loves UT, but certainly loves himself more

And he’s done more with his little toe for the university than you will ever dream about doing. How about you quit talking? See how that works?

He's also done more to damage the program than I could ever do. See how that works?

Hopefully the OP is getting a share of that sweet buyout money

If we are looking at net benefit, Fulmer has still done much more for the program than you or anyone on the board has ever done.

Let me ask you this, if you had the opportunity to talk ball with Peyton and Al Wilson, would you say to them “I think Fulmer has done enough damage. He should stop talking about Tennessee football”

Of course Fulmer has done more than ANYONE in this forum. He has also been paid exponentially more than anyone in this forum by the university. How much did probation cost the University?

Yes. In public he shouldn't be talking about Tennessee football

Love me some Fulmer, especially being an 80's-90's kid growing up on UT football..........but truth be told, I think Cutcliffe was truly the offensive mastermind and a great QB developer. There was a considerable dropoff when he left for Ole Miss.

Not trying to change your mind on Foolmore, but you are 100% correct that Cutcliffe was the brains. Enough said

Hardly a rare opinion, because it’s true. Cut saved Fulmer's job by coming back in 2006. I mean, the guy was able to get Daniel Jones drafted, so I’d say he was definitely the mastermind here too lol
