Every interview with him I've read has been about the same -- he tries to take the high road, but ends up saying basically that he felt wronged because he thought he'd "earned a chance to fix things." Which was probably the case -- in 2005. He doesn't seem to realize that he had already used up his mulligan.

yep.. he should have disappeared for a while if he needed some time to cool off... if he's going to stay that visible, many Vol fans expect him to show support for the new staff... he won't do that

I have had to fire a lot of people and it is rare that I fire someone and they think they deserved it. Right or wrong that is human nature for most people.

The right decision was made by hammy and whether people like it or not Fulmer has handled this MUCH better than majors. The dolts who actually think Fulmer stabbed Majors can think all they want. As much as people were ready for Fulmer to be gone it was NOT CLOSE to how many wanted Majors gone.

Fulmer is gone, we have a great new staff and yet so many cant let it go. They ***** if he comes to the games and they ***** if he doesnt. I swear its like a jilted lover for many on this site.

Would have loved to be a fly on the wall when we won big on Saturday with "his" players and a few super recruits of LK. Wonder what he had to say about the new JC and a fired up Hardesty and others....Recievers who caught the ball....I never saw LK clap once...did anyone see him. I saw positive things with the players and some not so positive when it was due....GO VOLS

Fulmer was good in the 90's and accomplished a lot for our program. However I am glad he is no longer our coach. The more you hear players talk about how practice,games,and just the general day to day running og the team USED to be.....the more clear it becomes that our program would NEVER have been anything but middle of the pack in the SECOND in the future if fulmer had been allowed the chance he felt he deserved. New tim in UT football.....time for everyone to move onM

Sure, but there's a difference between feeling like you were unfairly fired and denying the basic facts of what was going on. Fulmer denied that there was ever a problem with his program, denied that he needed to do anything differently, and now he's in denial about whether he deserved to be sacked. This is like an habitual drunk who's been missing work for years howling about how unfair it is when he finally gets fired one day for coming in only a couple of hours late.

For almost 20 years, he was the face of the team for which we all have a ridiculous, irrational devotion. He's been a lightning rod for passionate opinions for most of a decade. All of that doesn't just dry up and go away overnight. Once we've been through a season or two with the new guys and this really becomes Kiffin's team, then maybe Fulmer can fade into the past and we can all look forward together. But for now he's still the lens through which most Vol fans see the whole program. He cast a long shadow.

Having a National Title sets the bar pretty high

Yes, Fulmer sat in Thunder's box on the East side along with his wife. I'm actually kind of surprised he's staying so close to the program at this point. If it were me I'd need a little distance if I'd just been fired.

I heard he was dressed in all black, showed no emotion, and left at halftime. Not sure how reliable that is. You heard anything like that?

So, basically any coach who successfully extended their mediocrity into a decade is a candidate. Interesting.

I didn't sit over there for WKU so I don't really know any details. Some of my "acquaintances" that spoke with him seemed to say he was a little bit, well...choked up. Pretty understandable. But I didn't hear much about what color his tie was.
