A.D. Mike Hamilton said today in an interview with Jimmy Hyams that he would like Fulmer to "write the end to his career". Which basically is saying Fulmer is here until he wants to leave so, we're stuck with him until he hangs it up. Great.

I was going to create a similar thread. This is what I wrote down:
  • Surprised he didn't get more emails after the Alabama game.
  • Didn't want to talk about a number of wins. But 9-3 (.750) regular season is the expection. Tennessee has won around 75% of its game over its history.
  • "Not as great a job as we think it is"-what other analysts/commentators say
  • "Like to see Fulmer write his end to the program."
  • "Look at the state of the program out of season not week to week. Take the emotion out of it."

Perhaps when Hamilton says "write the end of his career" he's referring to a letter of resignation??

No worries....this is AD speak. Who wouldn't want the head coach that brought us an NC to write the perfect end to his career? There are a lot of things that we would like......

Unfortunately, Urban Meyer and Nick Saban appear to have turned an autobiography into a biography.

Notice, he said that "he would like" for that to happen. I would also like to see that happen but that doesn't mean it's going to. I would "like" for Tennessee to never lose another game but that has nothing to do with reality.

Agreed, and not only that: it appears to me he is also saying that -- as of right now -- the future is in CPF's hands. That can turn out a number of ways -- win, retire, etc. At some point, that could be taken out of CPF's hands.

But is also interesting that he IS talking about "end of his career" in one fashion or another. That doesn't sound like something that you'd talk about 10 years out. (As I've said all along, I don't think CPF wants to be HFCAUT for another 10 years; when he talks about retiring in 10 years, he's talking about doing other things within that decade.) But hey, that's just my thoughts. :crazy:

if this team tanks and only wins 6 games, or less, then I don't think Fulmer can be allowed to "write the end to his career" if Hamilton cares about the direction of this program.

I read that and immediately thought "Oh wow, he is telling us that he expects Fulmer to take it upon himself to step down instead of facing the humiliation of a public dismissal".

AD speak, just being PC. You think the AD is going to come on radio and tell you his complete and honest intentions.

Dead on Freak and Lex. It's just AD speak. He can't throw CPF under the bus while we still somehow have a shot at an SEC Title. I would like for CPF to write the end of his career. But he has to start writing it a lot better than he's doing, or else another writer is going to have to be found.

Yes. Whether he is an AD, Mayor, Congressman or President, people in high-level decision making positions stay vague for a reason. . . they can make any move they want and be able to come out looking clean.

Phil will be able to read the writing on the wall. FOr all that I have written regarding Fulmer, he is not a stupid man. If the heat is intense enough he'll bow out with dignity/ I honestly believe he saw the way Majors's public bitterness damaged his legacy and Phil's learned from that.

That is the hope of everyone on the board. Recently CPF's perception and reality are as far apart as the east is from the west. Here is to hoping there is still a little bit of reason left.:good!:

I think that there is plenty of reason left. . . I don't think Phil would be looking so haggard if he wasn't extremely worried about the team, his players, and his future. And we have ALL noticed that he has aged a lot this year.

The seat is becoming warm, and I think a loss to any two of the SEC teams left on the schedule will break whatever will he has left and resign him to, well, resign.

I think it is a done deal now. Two losses would definitely seal the deal either way.
