The downward spiral of the Fulmer years and the ensuing mess has been in my opinion a result of the structural change that took control from the Athletic Director and placed it into the hands of the President and BOT. Once there was no longer the Fulmer/Dickey/Johnson connection, it opened the door to influence from more AD “outsiders,” to include BOT member and powerful boosters.
you talking President Joe Johnson or board member Bill Johnson ( former player ‘ banker from Sparta)? Both were all about football but just wondering which one you were referring to?The downward spiral of the Fulmer years and the ensuing mess has been in my opinion a result of the structural change that took control from the Athletic Director and placed it into the hands of the President and BOT.

Gotcha . That guy was a hoot. I remember him speaking several times at the old big orange picnic @ the National Guard armory in Nashville when I was a kid . My Grandfather was pretty well connected up there back then and I got to meet/ talk to him several times . He would bring the house down when he spoke ... cracking jokes about Dickey and Majors. Bill Johnson from Sparta was a very powerful force in his own right . My grandfather was extremely tight with him, as they were both from Sparta . The story I always heard was that he was one of if not the main power brokers up there who helped Fulmer get the HC job. Supposedly while Majors was recuperating from OHS they went to Scotland maybe for some sort of high dollar golf outing and it was on that trip that CPF got in Bill Johnson’s ear enough to get the HC job. There was obviously a little more to it than that but that supposedly got the wheels really moving in CPF’s favor . Probably not telling anything that most of y’all don’t already know , but just in case there you have it . Or that was how it was explained to me anyway .@Jravol78 Joe was who I was referring to above....
The guy I like that I think is a real possibility and rumored to be interested who's not been mentioned much is Chip Long Notre Dame OC.
In my opinion it looks like they run that pro style/power type spread like Standford.
Chip Long is my choice at this point
