Would you deserve a penny of severence pay if you were fired or layed off? A penny of unused vacation time? What if you had a signed contract?:hi:

Always good to figure out where some bodies are buried if you want to help an employer see the value of a post-employment nondisclosure agreement.

Last I heard, Currie wouldn't answer the question whether he's spoken to Fulmer. Doubt they will ever work together again.

Currie reached out, Fulmer has not responded as of yet.

To avoid making Fulmer look bad, Currie has dodged the question when asked. But he has reached out. Butch is trying to help bridge the gap.

Did CBJ tell Fulmer that Currie was gonna fire him if he doesn't represent the East in Atlanta this year?

CPF/Currie working together? I wouldnt bet on it.

I would like to see CPF with a job somewhere in the Administration but i highly doubt it happens. Not SA AD anyway.

How many teams have "backed into Atlanta" and complained? Getting to Atlanta is getting to Atlanta.

Also, how did he run our program into the ground? 2 losing seasons out of 17 is pretty good. Dooley had 3, and Butch has already had one.

Kiffin didn't have trouble competing with Fulmer guys. That year we nearly had NC winner Bama, Auburn, UCLA, and played well against prior NC winner Florida. We didn't become the prison b!tch of the SEC until Hambone's plan was in full effect.

Fulmer was not a friendly face as an HC like Derek Doolander or even our current guy Butch Jones. However, the one thing we knew for 17 years was that we would playing in December or January and that the Vols were going to be fun to watch. We are getting back to that level, but Fulmer as far as I can tell, didn't completely kill the program as some of you may state he did.

UT should hire fulmer as an ambassador, like spurrier at florida and not AD---he would not want to play second fiddle.

1 year removed from playing in Atlanta. When was the last time we could say that?

After 2001, we were never relevant as a national contender. Sure, we played in a couple more SEC championship games, but with a ranking in the high teens.

And you simply can't excuse the awful bowl losses to Maryland and Clemson, with considerably more talent.

Having had the most talent in the SEC for the better part of his tenure, we should have been nationally relevant far more often.

You don't back into anything. He got there from winning other games.
Be like saying Florida backed into Atlanta. No they won, we were the team that lost.

True, but with a 6-2 record, it's nothing to boast about either. Blow out losses to Florida and a 6-6 Alabama team make it hard to reconcile that Fulmer did a good job in that 2007 season

Didn't Florida back into the CC this past season because we shat the bed against 2 teams we had no business losing to?

It was time or at least a serious ultimatum given to fix it. But to say the man was bad for UT football is stupid. How has it worked out for us since he has been gone? Or do people think we are still digging out from the hole CPF left us in. Also I have wondered why people blame the Admin for the program now but not when CPF starting failing. If you go back to the time it started declining for CPF things had changed. Academic standards were changed for one that made it harder and
CPF did not handle that change well. If you go back and research you will find were former players were quoted saying that the changes made had messed up TN football. They said CPF was neutered by the AD dept at the end.

The direction of the program post Fulmer wasn't etched in stone. There were a lot of possibilities based on who was hired. Had we known the level of incompetence in the UTAD, I'm sure most people would have chosen the status quo.
At that time, the potential bungling of the AD couldn't be known and certainly wasn't an excuse to keep Fulmer. Perhaps, a better AD could have steered Fulmer back on course and avoided the debacle. Crazy that they hired a guy for AD that was instrumental in Fulmer's firing.

Vollmar "resigned" about like Hart "resigned." And Fulmer feels about Currie pretty much the same way Majors feels about Fulmer. The more things change at UT, the more they stay the same.
