What we ultimately saw out there today was the culmination of the difference between the administrations of the Univ. of Alabama and the administrators of the Univ. of Tennessee played out over the last 10-15 years.
Alabama's admin. INVESTED in their program by allowing and enabling their FOOTBALL guys to go out and hire the best coach in the game, SABAN.
We've been staggering through the wasteland of a bunch of academic idiots trying to run an athletic program by hiring the likes of CDD and CBJ. Make no mistake about it, this debacle can be traced all the way back to the change of administration that occurred when Doug Dickey retired as AD from UT.
I do believe hiring Coach Fulmer back as AD signaled positive changes in the administration that will allow us to get back to being competitive. And Fulmer's hiring of CJP was all about getting a FOOTBALL guy back in charge of the program. It will take a little more time, but if the administration will stay the he*& out of the way I think we'll return to being very competitive sooner rather than later.
GO VOLS!
