Fulmer subpoenaed by Pruitt

[Rocky Top T]

And we lost our best offensive player and OC. That QB they had was good enough to beat a Florida team that only lost to the two teams in the championship game.

You shít on the only national championship you’ll ever see us win in football and then act like you’re not the dumb one. That’s rich.

And your filthy mouth shows who the dumb one is

You really upset because he said ?

Imagine being as old as you must be and getting upset at the word “shít.”

What program did he destroy? We have won 37 games in 4 years since he left. I’d hardly say the program was destroyed.

Because he is not in charge.

Well ****, now I’m pissed off…but it’s better to be pissed off than pissed on (unless you’re into that sort of thing).

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

Because he is not in charge.

But if the program had been destroyed, don’t you think that it would have taken a little longer to have become competitive?

You’ll never see another run like the one he gave us. To dismiss him entirely because of a failed AD stint that was immediately corrected is just foolish.

Don't think hate is the right word here. I don't hate him. Just feel he knew. He himself had a bag or tricks as a coach.

I can’t believe he’s trying to pull this off. Since his wife was involved in the scheme, it strains reality to think Beldar didn’t know what was going on. Note to Cornbread: Don’t wiz on my head and try to convince me it’s raining.

Pruitt's lawsuit states that "one or more individuals in the UT Athletics Department or boosters had systematically engaged in making payments to players at a time when NCAA rules did not allow such payments. It is believed persons within the UT Athletics Department solicited and received money from high profile businessmen and alumni to fund the clandestine payments to the players. Jeremy was unaware of this activity during his tenure at UT. It is believed UT intentionally hid the scheme from Jeremy based on Jeremy’s willingness to report violations — like he did to [then-athletic director Phillip Fulmer] within his first week of coaching at UT."

Is he also selling ocean front property in Arizona

He's trying this because he didn't get his $12 million buyout when he was fired. Just looking for a quick payday through the courts

Desperation is the mother of invention (and flat out lying).

Not upset, but what does saying that prove, a point can be made without saying it

 

[Smokymtnbullet]

Has any college football coach in history been subpoenaed more frequently than Phillip Fulmer? There may be one. One of you may know. I am just not aware of it.

He should just skip media days from now on and let Josh handle it

 

[LivinginthePast]

Florida State lost their starting QB. You are really sharp, your name says so.

Not getting in on the arguments but I do remember Florida state got stomped by NC state that year with their starting QB before he got hurt. Weinkie threw six interceptions. I also reminded my Florida state friend of that when he brought it up. Tory Holt had a great year for NC state. Went on to play for rams and beat the titans in the Super Bowl.

So it is possible we would have still won. Our defense was really good that night.

 

[beachvol23]

Fulmer should be held accountable for what he did to this program. He pushed for the AD job behind the scenes and then screwed it up. I have no doubt Curry would have made a better hire than Fulmer. I've been a Vol fan since the 60' s , I'm not as high on Fulmer as many are.

AMEN!!! 98 was a coach! Everything else after that was not good! He was given benefit of doubt way too much on many things!!!

Lawd have mercy

And where did those subpoenas come from? Did said coach also have 7 game win streak vs the program that a history of insane behavior when things aren’t going well?

My goodness

 

[CAVPUT]

Gawd...let the it die already.

 

[Boston Vol]

Florida State lost their starting QB. You are really sharp, your name says so.

Chris Weinke was completing 50% of his passes when he was ruled out for the year. People confuse the Weinke they saw in ‘99 and ‘00 with the guy that was a first year starter in ‘98.

He still managed to lead the conference in TD passes though.

 

[BigOrangeTrain]

If you had to bet your family’s lives on whether or not we ever see another championship in football, we both know you’d let it ride on “No.”

Wrong.

Joe Paterno?

 

[#1HomeGrownUTVOL]

QB is a much bigger loss. Outzen was 3rd stringer for FL State. Not his fault, but he was horrible.

Good enough to beat Florida that year a month earlier.

 

[EasternVol]

Resume, perhaps. But there is no way that Fulmer should not have picked up on the lack of intelligence that Pruitt possesses in the interview. Fulmer should have known that the job would be too big for Pruitt.

Would he have noticed, being on a similar intellectual plane himself?
