We need a time machine, and we must stop ourselves from firing Fulmer....

[TennesseeVol2009]

It’s the only way.

It’s the only way.

If we could get one, I'd say go back and fire him after the '05 season!

 

[TNnative]

I would fire him tomorrow, but would give him an excellent job reference if he applies to work at Shoney's.

 

[KeyVol14]

I'm convinced this program is cursed

Krispy Kreme?

 

[Herman Hickman]

Nope. Just put a gun to Mike Hamilton's head and have him hire Gary Patterson over Lane Kiffin.

 

[BadgerVol!]

Made the right call if anything another year earlier.

Idk about cursed but we definitely have some cheap azz people doing the hiring. Should have opened the check book years ago. Alot of this falls on the administration. Is it almost time for basketball?

Yep. The mistake that led to 15 years of misery

 

[zjcvols]

LMAO you wish we go could back and keep the guy...who hired the guy that lost to Georgia State?!?!

The whole reason we are in this mess is because Fulmer sabotaged the Mike Leach hire and went and got Jeremy Pruitt

Who's is candidates who you would think this University would have a realistic shot at hiring

Mike Leach. You know the guy that was coming to UT until Fulmer sabotaged the hire...

A good portion of the pain inflicted on the University of Tennessee over the last generation, both on the field and off it (athletically and academically), has been caused by oxygen thieves who were merely collecting a paycheck at UT and didn't give a damn about it.

 

[ukvols]

If you're taking a time machine back to 2008, instead of retaining Fulmer, just hire either Patterson or Kelly instead of Kiffin.

I don't remember who all has been available in the past while we were looking but now I would throw Nick saban money at Urban.

Idk how some fans would take him as?

 

[VolArmy74]

Go back to 2005, fire him after Vandy and offer Urban Meyer 4 million a season. We'd have 2-3 more NCs.

He wins and I'm all about that at this point. He just said on FS1 tonight that TN is a top 10 job and you can recruit great talent in TN. He was basically saying people who say you can't recruit in Knoxville is full of crap.

Y’all need to stop with the conspiracy theories.

The last two losses has nothing to do with the university stealing money or not caring, it’s because Phillip Fulmer hired a ****** football coach.

Why would Urban have left Florida after 2005???

 

[Orangeglasses90]

He said that?!

Yes, he said the east is pretty much wide open and if TN gets it together it wouldn't take much to start competing in the east. Reggie Bush and Brady Quinn were talking about how they grew up loving the Vols and playing in neyland.

 

[VolArmy74]

Why would Urban have left Florida after 2005???

It was his first year there and that would have doubled his salary and before Saban it was unprecedented money for a hc,
