Phil Fulmer to be introduced as Vols' AD; reports of him sabotaging search inaccurate

 

[BanditVol]

It's Brice's "oh **** I'm gonna have to deal with this guy now as AD" ass-covering epic backtrack.

Good luck with that Brice! :lolabove:

LOL... Currie's lone wolf tactic. That is going to be proven false... that man was set up to fail and it took a dozen attempts to get that done. Now, change is taking place.

 

[Franklin Pierce]

The other choice considered to replace Currie per people on campus was Reid Sigmon, Currie’s No. 2 and chief lieutenant. Multiple sources said that Sigmon was backed by Jimmy Haslam while Fulmer possessed resounding support among other constituencies, including boosters John ‘Thunder’ Thornton and Charlie Anderson.

So these guys squared off against the Haslam Mob.

Wonder how long it will take people to realize that this past week was, more or less, about donor control.

EXACTLY.

Civil war is over. By all accounts, the 'good guys' won. I wonder if the Gruden coaching scenario is back on the front burner with Fulmer in charge?

Did they ever really offer him? It would be nice to know the truth, lol.

Mods, once Fulmer in and he hires a coach, can we do a clean sweep on the board to purge these events from our vision...even though we'll not soon forget. Kinda like remembering where you were when Elvis died. I was driving my son back to college on Sunday and he's over on bleacher report reading me the play by play unfolding.

Reckon Haslam put a knife in his back after the Schiano plan went south?

NEVER. Keep history accurate. Too much revisionist history going on already in the world.

exactly correct. the term good guys can go away pretty quickly though, let's be honest.

haslam's influence had to be removed, so i'm absolutely for what happened today.

i'm not naive enough to think that all our ills are solved, necessarily. it is, however, much better than haslam's stooge stigmon being introduced.

if nothing else, i do believe Fulmer will do what he believes to be the best for the university of tennessee. i've not felt that way about the administration the last 10 years.

we'll see what the new kings have to say about things.

today is a good day. hopefully they do have the right set of goals and proper alignment so this program can get back to where we want it to be.

The most bizarre thing to come out of this whole mess,even worse than the Currie/SChiano firing,is to see Jon Gruden's name come back up. At what point will it sink in that he has no interest in coaching at Tn or anywhere? Kiffin trolls you,Gruden trolls you,geeze at some point just move on....

 

[Arclight]

It was:

1. The fans
2. The donors and CPF who stood and challenged Haslam.

A team effort!

I want to thank, Dish, Thunder and all the VFL fans for your support. Jon is on the phone and I need to take this call. Go Vols

War is over but there will still be casualties from injuries sustained in battle.
