Vomit. I would be for getting rid of Hamilton due to his incompetence but replacing him with a hand wringing door mat like Fulmer would be inexcusable. Phil's management style and eye for coaching talent was terrible; I have less than no idea what exactly he would bring to the position other than integrity. We need someone that has integrity but also has the spine to stand up for UT.

With that said, I disagree with TXVOL. Hamilton has done a fine job with what he has to work with. The Raleigh hire is a little less than desirable, but since his higher, the baseball teams APR and GPA have increased. Sure the on field product could stand to improve, but after Delmonico having poor apr and gpa, I'd say Raleigh has done a decent job... Academics are afterall the reason these kids are here, right?

I corrected my mistake long before you commented, however I will be sure to ask about typing mistakes on a BlackBerry to be added to IQ testing.

You have to bring in someone with a business mind. The days of old football coaches become AD's is over. As a Sport Management major it is incredible the amount of money that college athletics brings in and you have to have someone that knows how to handle the money.

If Dooley pans out, there's no questions remaining on Hamilton. He'd be 2/2 with Pearl and Dooley's hirings out of nowhere. However, I wouldn't have a problem with CPF as the eventual AD. The guy bleeds orange, and whatever keeps him from coaching but still puts him in good graces with the fans and his alma matter sounds good to me

Our cheerleaders need to get hot in the first place, in order to stay hot. I don't care about building pyramids.

This is absurd. If Hamilton got fired, Fulmer would never be a candidate - much like Cutcliffe for the HC job. Worst idea ever.

If you want to see the basketball program immediately return to the crapper and the football program remain in the crapper for years to come, hire Fulmer as AD.

Big deal. I bleed orange too. By your definition, I'm qualified to be AD.

The one thing I like about Dooley is he's a well educated person. Sorry, I just like and respect people that go the extra mile. The next AD should be as well IMO. If it boiled down to Fulmer or Majors, I'd take Majors in a mili-second, mainly because Fulmer acted like a crybaby IMO. I know Majors did as well but his was more justifiable.

Good point. Bleeding orange doesn't qualify anyone for anything. Realistically, big egos don't accomplish anything and PF is a walking example of that. Not much ability but tons of misplaced ego.

Believe MH needs to go...I do think PF would do a good job but I would prefer to see someone like Condredge Holloway as our AD.

You guys are obviously content with yourselves. I'll end my contribution to this conversation like this, since I've answered a question in a way yall didnt like.

I dont give a damn who your AD is now, or who will become the AD when the weasel you have decides to hang it up or gets canned. I hope your football team does well, your cheerleaders stay hot, and your basketball team make past round 2 of the AA's.

Im done now.

And where is T A&M? Out in the middle of nowhere, and that matches their athletic accomplishments. Something in the air out there.

I did not know that was our only 2 choices.

What is it about UT sports that limit our options? It is either Hamilton or Fulmer as AD; and it is either Pearl or Buzz as our BB Coach.

Really good AD's are not ex-coaches, they are like a hybrid of a business man/agent/ambassador/administrator. There would be 10,000 better candidates than Fulmer. Still blows me away that fans would want to get rid of Hammy.

Fulmer's extension? Fulmer not being fired earlier in the first place? Derek Dooley?

You can't come in and fire a guy after one losing season, or after he goes to the SEC title game (even if it was lucky) if he won a national championship and has been loyal and faithful to the university for 35 years, I don't see how he could have done it any earlier. For all the contract $$ criticism, Hammy is the largest fundraiser the school has ever had, and has raised more $ for his school than any other AD in the country on several occasions. He has brought in the funds. And give the Dooley thing time. Sheez.

So, you think that that coaching search we just had was good? I can't think of a more botched search for a HFC in the last 4-5 years.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that I think Dooley will fail, or is a bad coach. But that search had to have been one of the biggest cluster........can't say or even censor the last word on here, but you know.

I think the story Clay Travis (or someone like him) will eventually unveil was a lot different than what most of us got from the media. Much like it was last year. And my OPINION (obviously don't have to agree with me) is that Hamilton did a decent job with the circumstances, and it was not the disaster most of us think it was. Not a homerun, but not a flat out disaster.

Btw, if you think Dooley will succeed and is a good coach - then why was the search such a disaster?
