And Fulmer would have won 9 with them.Just sayin...
(PS - Hambone was to blame for the losses after the firing)
I like it. I'd also like it if it were Tee, Al, or Peerless. Fulmer gave more effort for UT than 99.9% of the people on this board ever will.[/QUOTE]
Not even remotely true. There are several ex-UT letterman posting in this forum that gave as much as Phillip did to UT. Phillip was paid millions by the University too.
Who do you consider a Fulmer basher? Someone that respects the good coaching that he did in the nineties but recognizes he was losing it early in the last decade? Someone that was tired seeing the same ole thing every year? Someone that didn't like getting waxed in Neyland by our biggest rivals. Yeah those are real bashers.
It isn't the University of Fulmer. It's the University of Tennessee. Some of you haven't figured that out. It's so sad too that you were willing to allow the guy to run the program into the ground because of his success ten years prior. That's blind loyalty, which BTW is one of the traits that got him fired.
1.No, read my post. I said I agreed it was time, but didnt like how it was handled.
2. Fulmer bashing is the insane notion that Johnny Majors left him with a loaded roster.
3. Fulmer bashing is saying we were lucky to win the NC in 1998.
4. Fulmer bashing is saying the SEC was weak whenever he beat a rival or won the SEC.
5. Fulmer bashing is not giving the man any credit for having the second best run in the storied history of Tennessee football.
Now, saying it was time for a change, but appreciating the job he did as a player, assistant coach, and head coach. That's not bashing.
The ones on here that talk about him as though he was an axe murderer, well maybe when you're old enough get your drivers license, you'll understand.
