Which only speaks to how ludicrous last summer's contract was, nothing more.

You cannot blame Fulmer at all for signing the contract. I am not saying that you are trying to do that.

You put the offer in front of me that he had and I would be all over it.

Just like I have seen several posts about he shouldn't take the $6 mil buy out. Why not? He signed the contract and UT agreed to it. I would take every last dime owed to me.

It's my opinion that CPF had become stale and overly comfortable in his position as UTHC. The most emotion and fire I had ever seen out of him since 90's was early this season during the Bama and SCar games. And truth be told that wasn't passion and intensity in his eyes, it was anxiety and impatience because he knew he was on the verge of being kicked out of that comfort zone he had come to know so well. I was in favor of giving him another year, but after being able to elaborate on this for a month or so I've decided that we would have merely enabled his mediocrity and added fuel to the apathetic machine that was the UT football program. I'm not only comfortable with the decision of the UT ADept. but I'm also ecstatic with the way our program is headed. Take my advice Volnation and don't feel sorry for CPF...he'll get over it. The fact that he's interested in coaching elsewhere tells me that he wasn't all that in love with the Univ. of Tenn. as much as he claimed. IMO, he was just in love with the power that came with the position. I'm just saying that if I couldn't coach at UT(and I had the financial security he does) then I wouldn't want to coach anywhere. Remember this is JMO and think before you rush to judgment.

I think this is what he meant to say....

"People don't like to hear this, and I don't like to say it, but a couple of fumbles and an emotional win over Wyoming and we would have just won our eighth game," Fulmer said after a season-closing 28-10 victory over Kentucky. "Heck, a little player development, some quality game planning and a few halftime adjustments and they would have had to give me an extension and a raise."

Maybe he should have said.." People don't like to hear this ,and I don't like to say it, but,without a pass interference call we were very lucky to get, UF not having a FG kicker worth a damn, good ole Clint Sterner having the brain fart of all time, and a QB called Outzen instead of FSU's starting QB and we woulda been a so-so 10-3 football team in 1998 and UT would have had another FB coach installed years ago." Shut up Phil.
Take ur ill gotten gains and just go away.

This article is ridiculous, and it's embarrassing for UT to be linked to such whining. It's the perennial cry of losers: "If a few things had gone differently, we'd have been better." Well, in UT's case you can make the case that if not for a few breaks here or there UT would have LOST a lot more games -- this year and in years past.

I agree. If you want to argue it could have went one way you have to argue it could have gone the other way as well. The vandy and Ky games last year definitely could have gone the other way. You can play what if from here to the end of time. The bottom line is you have to accept the fact that it didnt go that way. Move on fix the problem. I would think we will not here this kind of talk from Kiffin.
