There's a lot more risk and responsibility in that. Keeping everything the same from a responsibility standpoint, being closer to his home/alma mater, and doubling salary is plenty of reason.

A head coaching contract would get him a minimum of 5 years and maybe 6. Another DC job gets him a maximum 3 year deal and probably 2. I don't see how a head job is riskier, especially financially. Plus, with a 3rd year in the playoffs, Clemson will probably give him another raise.

Blow up his twitter to hire Pruitt. If he screws this up, the program may never recover.

fulmer probably still sports a palm pilot. he doesn't check his damn Twitter

 

[jave36]

Ok. I just don't think he leaves Clemson for Arkansas. He will get another raise at Clemson. Just my prediction.

Could be. Probably better than 50% chance, but would be unprecedented if a DC got 2.5. I think it would cause a shift in coordinator/HC salary parity that is probably needed.

The longer this goes the more i think it’s Mr. 9-36 Kevin Steele

I remember this. Fedora, Gundy, and of course Strong.

We are seriously going to drag this all the way out to the weekend, huh? Unbelievable.

 

[JCP201]

Could Fulmer want to talk to Tee? I imagine if we are going to make him OC, he's going to get paid.

Wow

 

[StoVol]

Tennessee contingent is still in NYC interviewing potential hire. Would expect an announcement tomorrow. Could leak out earlier.

I am wearing three layers of cups right now. All made of kevlar.

 

[amazingGRACE]

So Fulmer is on his way to Knox or still in NY?

I think $3.5m is just what Arkansas is paying him. He had no leverage. UT passed on him and the job he really wanted is long gone. Arkansas is paying Big Pretty $12m as well.

 

[i2amavol]

All 3 decline our offer.

So, on to Venables. Wait, he going to Arky?!

Well, Kiff it is.



j/k

Yes.

 

[Lovesomebigorange]

Fulmer's loyalty to damn Steele is clouding his judgement. Everyone has praised Pruitt to Tennessee today! Hire Steele and watch the firestorm of negativity hit Phil like he hasn't felt in years. I am about done with Tennessee if they screw this up. I guess SBV's source was full of crap saying they were signing😪

Who knows? But if Phil doesn't get a move on, Bass is going to fire up the boat again.

 

[CNeagleVolFan]

Can we get consistent reports from the media for once?!? I’m sick and tired of this crap!! At this point Idc who of the 3 is hired just get this dang show on the freaking road!!!!

 

[Orange And Garnet]

Hubbs and Wallace reporting different things. Let's see how this plays out...

 

[Big Gucci Sosa]

Wallace says we are still in NY

 

[BigZiti09]

Hubbs and Wallace reporting different things. Let's see how this plays out...

Hubbs not reporting from what I saw. Just said he has one person telling him that.

You usually don't get those kind of things from Hubbs.

 

[38401]

What I’m realizing is no one knows anything. Exciting and excruciating at the same time

 

[BigZiti09]

I'm starting to get nervous.

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

I hate this so much

 

[JCP201]

In defense of not hiring Kirby--- we just came off of Sunseri and Dooley--- pretty much everyone was saying no more Bama assistants.
