Well look at it this way the report came out that Henry T was staying Saturday and Fulmer said they got the info Friday and Steele was with them on the trip. Steele is looked at a a really good recruiter so was he the one that did the talking sure looks like it.

They are probably not telling the public that the warning signs were there but Fulmer was too busy playing football coach, watching game tape and watching practice to pay attention to what his duties really were as the AD. We'll get a better sense of some of the missing pieces in the breach of contract suit from Pruitt that will parallel the NCAA investigation. The statements read by Fulmer, Blonde Donde and Boyd were written, reviewed and approved by external counsel prior to them even sitting down at the table.

Big time college athletics is a multi billion dollar a year business and the rank amateurs you saw at the table today on behalf of Tennessee are completely to blame for the wholesale collapse of a college football program on their watch.

I like the fact that he's headed to Cali when the letter comes to the office. Also the day Steele is hired. Hmmmmm

Wrong. Plowman and Boyd haven’t been there long enough to make that statement. This collapse started long ago and 20 years of prior poor administration is to blame. I’m sure they took Fulmer at his word on the contract extension and won’t make that mistake again. I hear from insiders that Plowman is very capable and much better than the previous chancellors. Of course that is a low bar.

FWIW, which is probably zero, Bammers on 247 are saying that Fulmer was the rat according to CJP's camp and he thought he could report Pruitt, avoid the buyout and assume the job, but the boosters, even those formerly in Fulmer's camp, balked once they found out Fulmer set the wheels in motion. Since Fulmer is the whistleblower they had to play nice with him at the press conference and let him "step down".

I really got the vibe that Fulmer wanted to stick with Pruitt if at all possible.

That could be true, but Bama fans blame Fulmer for everything, including stealing the Limburgh baby.

I can't wait till the 30 for 30 comes out on this.

Sounds like wild, biased speculation.

Well, no offense, but when they hired Steele it was very obvious they were stocking up on interim coaches. They have several and they wanted another one provided they're free. It's like a spare tire; you don't need a press release to explain that you put one in the trunk. They investigated, found cheating, saved themselves 12 million dollars, installed a handy interim coach. If you want to speculate on something, I think you want to speculate on what Jim Chaney would be like as interim coach for the whole season. That would be interesting. There was certainly a whistleblower that set the whole thing in motion, and they took advantage of it, whether they want the advantage or not. They got rid of Pruitt for free. That's worth a lot.

They can't tell us who the whistleblower was, I guess. I think that's off limits. What else they're not telling us, in my opinion, is that the coaches all hated each other, who was in which clique, is that why the offense was so bad, that sort of thing. And they never will, because it's just so middle-school-girls-bathroom. It's embarrassing that a staff of grown men that make $10 million a year don't have any more control than that over their personalities. They are also not telling us that the students loved Pruitt and exactly why. That will have some consequences in the future, but nobody knows the future. It'll play out soon enough.

247 Bammers are FOS. I would not give a millisecond of brain activity considering anything they post.

If Pruitt stopped acting like the head coach before being handed his separation letter, it would damage his case to get his buyout.

Plus he may have needed the airmiles to hold onto his platinum status. That would explain visiting To otoo since he's one of farthest players.

It needs to be its own miniseries, start it the spring practice after the 98 NC and tell the story of how they went from winning the first BCS to where we are today.

I believe you are mistaken about Donde and Boyd, time will tell because they haven’t been here that long.
