Meddling for one, but I'll throw that aside for the moment. Aside from Kentucky and Vandy, SEC AD's are judged primarily on the success of their football programs/football coaching hires. Fulmer hired this train wreck of a head coach and gave said said head coach an unearned raise and extension during a global pandemic.
I don't blame Fulmer for the hire. He was thrust into a tough position after the Haslams and John Currie jacked up the 2017 coaching search. I give him a pass for that. The second he gave Pruitt the raise and extension, though, he attached himself to Pruitt IMO
