After watching this monstrosity for a few years, I am becoming convinced that Fulmer was right about there being some huge administration problems within the University that must be fixed. You might be right, football was taken for granted and the University stopped caring for it's cash cow. I am now left unconvinced that the problem lies solely on Fulmer's shoulders.
We seem to want to put a band aid on a sucking chest wound by creating this coaching carousel. Hire Fulmer back, let's fix these problems and move forward. I would take a Fulmer/Chavis team back on the sidelines over any (and I mean ANY) of the options being thrown around right now.
Let me couch this by saying that I was fully on board with the fire Fulmer train a few years ago. No longer, my friends, no longer.

Hey guys, I just realized something. Gruden always goes on Mike & Mike on Thursday mornings. Go back to that interview last week and listen. Why did he go on yesterday instead?
My percentage is going back up (based on absolutely nothing but desperation)
I am 100% in agreement with this...if Gruden is not going to happen then I am all in with Fulmer...probably won't happen but I think that is the safest thing for our program right now...and Fulmer has enough clout to help get the administrative stuff turned around...to my understanding Fulmer did not burn bridges with the Big money guys
