It’s UAB. I know Mark and is a great dude. Best long snapper in a while. I am willing to bet Phil helped Mark and we just need to move on from Phil. I will be glad to be proven wrong.

Lol, why would Ingram need help from Fulmer to accomplish what he has at UAB?

There's literally zero evidence that scenario occurred.

Ingram. The cancer is gone. But we've still got a crisis on our hands.

He's confronted an emergency situation with the restart of the UAB football program and has done as well as anyone can expect with that difficulty.

His experience there would be helpful to us here now.

Can we even do this? I mean we aren’t going to hire a coach until we get one. And who we get as AD may help tell the tale as to who...or at least what kind of a coach we go after.

Whose Florida’s AD. He seems to do a pretty good job getting winners.

Hate to say it, but don't think Ingram is coming to UT. I don't have any inside info, but I live near Birmingham and UAB is off like a rocket. Building a new football stadium, the city is renovating the entire area downtown around the stadium, a supercharged fan base and all of it after bringing the program back from the dead. If it were three years from now, maybe he would take it, but he's almost completed a huge turnaround at UAB. Don't think he'll leave a project like that incomplete, then again, maybe he's looking for a new project and UT is most definitely is that...

If we are looking at a total rebuild depending on the allegations. Ingram is the wise choice and if he brings Clark a long then so be it.

I'd love it, but it isn't going to happen. Noone here, unless you live in the Birmingham area, can begin to contemplate the love those guys have from UAB fan base (and City of Birmingham generally). Imagine the UT program being shutdown, your coach refuses to quit and your AD brings the whole thing back to life and gets a new stadium built. How much would you love those guys?

The best possible and experienced person is Mark Ingram currently the AD at UAB. Ingram played football at UT, worked in the UT AD office as a fund raiser for 5 years, served as AD at Temple University and has served as AD at UAB for the past several years. UAB dropped football and two years later re-established a football program including hiring a football coach. Ingram played a major role is UAB acquiring and building a new football stadium. Mark Ingram is experienced as an AD and is a Tennessee Volunteer.
