I'd be embarrassed to accept a buyout check after failing so miserably.

It takes a unique brand of idiot to find a way to lose 6 games twice in four years at Tennessee.

He should have to walk home from Columbia...and should have Johnny Majors riding along side him, laughing at him for the entire 3 months it takes him to make it back to Knoxville.

I completely agree...if Fulmer is half the man some on this board seem to think he is then he wouldn't accept it. He sure doesn't deserve it.

Majors lost 6 games twice in 4 years (1977 and 1980). Actually lost 7 in one of them. I guess by your standards we've had 31 consecutive years of idiots coaching our team.

Why would he walk away from the buy out?? Would you walk away from a chunk of money like that at your job? I doubt it.

I do think a negotiated resignation of a smaller amount is possible.

Thats like asking those Washington Mutual, Fannie and Freddie guys to give their money back.

It is what it is. Criminal!!!

Who walks away from 6 Million dollars

His buyout, if were fired now, is $3.925 million, not $6 million as has repeatedly been posted. Read a copy of his contract which is public record on the internet.

You have contracts for a reason...what idiot would deny money that is owed to him as part of the contract?

and the point is less valid because you used the intimidating big font?

OK, who walks away from $3.925 million dollars?

No one here would walk away from a buy out check on a contract. Get real.

This logic from folks who want wins above all else has never made sense to me. The man negotiates a favorable contract, and you expect him to walk away from that success.

The only person who can and should be held accountable for the contract terms is the person who represented UT's interests. That was MH.

No one in their right mind would leave that money on the table. I totally don't blame him for getting all of the money he can get out of it. I'm ready for him to be shown the door, but come on, it's ludicrous to think anyone would just walk away from millions of dollars.

Coach Fulmer's contract was the result of negotiations between the parties. The terms in that contract were agreeable to all concerned at the time the contract was signed. I suspect that both Hamilton and Fulmer considered all the possibilities prior to signing even though neither probably anticipated a disaster of a season. Contracts are binding document and should be. For any of us to expect either of the parties to give away their considerations is unrealistic at best.

I have not joined the slaughter Fulmer crowd but if Coach Fulmer is in his last head coaching days at UT as it appears, then he should leave with every penny the school guaranteed him in his contract.
