Fulmers competence

[Volbrando]

Steele coached Baylor when they were nothing more than an intramural team. It’s a wonder he got any wins with them at the time. You can’t compare apples to rotten oranges

 

[Orangedogsrule]

Just stop with this BS

 

[VolFan_N_NC]

Wish we could fire some of our “fans”

 

[preacherman4vols]

If he makes a lame hire when we could have had leach

 

[Orangedogsrule]

Schiano has a better HC resume than Steele and it’s not even close

But the fact we’re even having this discussion is truly pathetic

Except everbody at Tampa hated Schiano. Front office, players, fans, reporters....

At Rutgers the pro scouts trying to make appointments with potential draftees "dreaded" how hard he was to work with.

So Schiano just needs to be out of the frame and no comparisons made to him. Jeez dude Tampa players said being under him was "like living in Cuba". We DID NOT want that shizz here.

Correct the disaster that is UTAD did not fix all its problems when PF was selected to AD

 

[wmcovol]

Another buyout for Fulmer......just peachy.

If he makes a lame hire when we could have had leach

If the rumors that he took off for the west coast against the wishes of the UT Hierarchy are true, then Currie has more balls than Fulmer, who apparently hasn't gone anywhere but NYC.

 

[orchidvol]

Currie had Leach in the bag. He had at least one good one on the hook. I don't know if Fulmer has even interviewed a good one yet.

 

[farmin68]

That's basically Greg Schiano minus the child rape allegations.

Fulmer can't get a free pass for hiring a friend.

Tee Martin should be the floor for who we hire. Kevin Steele is unacceptable when compared to someone like Tee Martin who is younger, more exciting, has higher potential, and recruits at a higher level.

Kevin Steele had his chance. He FAILED. Give us someone young and with potential to be great like Tee.

I can't get over a 4 year record of 1-31 in a weak Conference - My pet dog could Win one game in 4 years - Seriously any team could win that many games without any head coach - Do you really believe any Tennessee coach would get a 4th year if he went 0-8 in his first three years as coach in the SEC... I just can't believe anyone could be that bad - This really worries me about Steele- If he loses to Vanderbilt & Kentucky 3 Straight years there will be Riots in Neyland Stadium .. Hire another option as Coach & hire Steele as Coordinator

 

[14VolFan88]

No, and all the finalists are a worse hire than Leach.

 

[SolidRockGolf]

While I don’t totally disagree with all that d4h said I know that his comments come with a racist tone. Always makes threads for certain color players, coaches as positive and negative ones towards white players and coaches. Therefore I don’t agree with him.

Currie did not have Leach in the bag. Fake news.

Leach would have struggled in the SEC.

Damn, Beverly Davenport missed the boat by not hiring an Einstein like you.

 

[UT Hill Man]

Fulmer has a much more difficult hire after the mess Currie made the first time around.

Let's cut Phil some slack until he can fix this.

 

[Volsdeep4]

D4H, I can’t believe I’m saying this. I agree with you. It would be totally unacceptable to hire Kevin Steele or Mel Tucker. We have had 2 really good coaches in leach and Brohm that would come here and we hire one of these Jack legs? I can’t understand what the hell these uppers are doing

 

[Other_Guy]

He doesn't listen to Haslam. So there's your answer.

 

[Orangedogsrule]

If he makes a lame hire when we could have had leach

Leach is a goof. "Arrrgh". "Draw yer swords an swing aweigh"! Need a cracker! "For your wedding know the bride and her mother will be crazy". "Playas fat girlfriends gonna cause them to lose"....

He is nuts.

 

[DaddyChad]

Oh tee Martin is the floor alright

 

[FLSTF-VOL]

Vicky?

Yep, and if you keep talking **** about my husband I will hunt you down and cut your nuts off!

 

[plaincityvol]

I am afraid he is going to hire a puppet, I don't want him coaching us again

 

[Jax_Vol]

Ask me again in a year

 

[stevenrich2003]

wooooow the guy has been on the job for 2.1 seconds and this as already started???? Really???? come one OP you can do better

 

[secking]

Depends on who you want

Names associated that Currie at least tried to hire even if the rumors are true that someone was going behind his back after he talked to the coaches and was telling them reasons not to come:

Peterson
Patterson
Schiano
Brohm
Gruden?
Leach
Morris

Fulmer
Didn’t he say he wanted a sitting P5 HC
Only two HC he has talked to is Morris and Miles

It appears Fulmer wants a puppet where he can mingle
True? Don’t know but it looks that way from the public eye
