Phil is interested...

The fact that Fulmer is even publicly lobbying for the job shows his lack of decision making ability. Do you really want someone with such a poor decision making process running a multimillion dollar organization?

How will Phil handle not getting the job and being burned twice by his university? He is setting himself up by even having interest in the job. I wonder whose fault it will be this time around?

Quick, someone send him (Fulmer) a mirror. He must have broken the last one. I can hear it now, I really wasn't interested because it wasn't under the right circumstances.

I really get tired of having to say this, but Johnny Majors was his own worst enemy. Phil did not backstab Majors, JD Special Reserve did that. At the height of the early'90's recession, he was running around telling anybody that would listen how underpaid and underappreciated he was. Remember, this was when UTK was laying off teachers left and right. If anything, Fulmer's positive attitude got him the job.

Know the facts before you post. And, no, I don't believe hiring Fulmer is the way to go with the AD situation.

Easy now. I wasn't saying that it was a bad thing. Just pointing out that he's as opportunistic as anyone else.

Whenever anyone in this forum has "Given their all for Tennessee" like Phil has then your opinion will matter.

I just do not understand why soooo many people hate this man who truly bleeds orange.

Was it time for him to give up coaching? Yes. Was he rusty and set in his ways? Yes. Did he purposely sabotage UT? NO.

Yes, he got paid a lot of money and the severance/settlement was very high, but he felt betrayed and the money is nothing more than any other coach would try to get.

Talk to the players that played for him before you keep inserting foot-in-mouth. Have a little respect.

I would much rather have a man who bleeds orange represent UT as the AD than just another job hopper looking for his next shot.

Nobody hates him. They just hate being told they can't have anything but a rosy opinion of him.

So you agree that it was time for him to go...but now believe, two years removed from being fired, it is time for him to come back? This logic confuses me.

Fulmer is the kind of stubborn guy that with enough control will drive something into the ground... kind of like his last 6 or 7 years at UT.

Fulmer is the answer. Bring back the coach who grounded the football program and let him be over all athletic teams at UT---perfect logic.

Would be the worse move possible at this point in time. Fulmer is a very divisive figure for Vol fans right now. Hamilton quit to unite the fan-base, making Fulmer AD would destroy all that.

If Fulmer "Bleeds Orange" and " Loves UT" so much, then he would see that his appointment to UT AD would severely divide the fanbase and alienate others at the University.

The problem is he has, as always, put his own interests ahead of UT Football or the University. It is evident with the buyout amount in his negotiated contract and is bitterness over being ousted as HC.

I am so sorry to everybody for saying what I want to say. Phillip Fulmer would be the worst choice for athletic director at any school, even a D2 school. Fulmer had his coordinators run his team while he was eating his krispy creme doughnuts. Athletic Director is not a job where you sit on your *** and shoot the **** with your ole cowboy buddies from the 30's. Fulmer is a good recruiter, but Tennessee doesnt need a lazy old man doing the most time consuming job in athletics. Fulmer was a bust on developing players in the late 2000's like Arian Foster, Chris Scott, Ramon Foster, Dan Williams, John Crompton, and many other players who are thriving in the NFL, and under Lane Kiffin.
I would rather have Carrot Top be athletic director because atleast he's funny. Infact, I would consider a coma patient before Fulmer. It's even pathetic that people would consider somebody that is lazy with his football team. The 2008 team went 5-7 with LSU type Talent.
Also Fulmer wouldnt know anything about any sport but football. Fulmer was the stubborn old man who wanted it done his way but it did not work out at all. He would micromanage the football program like Al Davis does for the raiders because Fulmer tries to micromange his team when Cutcliffe is gone like he tried to do in 2008 with Dave Clawson's offense.
