Who was the rat?

Nah. Just a theory, but I think the reason Fulmer “retired” is because he was backing Pruitt up to the very end, so they said “you save face and retire, or we’re letting you go. You choose.” My guess is Tee Martin. He’s a VFL, would know what’s going on or at least be able to highly suspect it, and they’d trust him. My other guess would be Chaney. He’s the OC, he’s probably the most respected member of the coaching staff, and he’s in a high enough position that he’d know or catch wind about it all. Plus, he worked at UGA and probably has some dirt on them too. If Mims was getting the special treatment here and still went to UGA, you connect the dots...

JG fo sho! He is a biatch. Watching him pout on the sideline when he got benched is all i needed to see.

Idiotic post of the year. That pouting was 5 years ago. If you bothered to watch the late games this year, you would have him seen him on the sidelines helping Bailey and Shrout. No way it was JG. He was too close to his teammates to watch them take the fall.

I don't know who it was, but it wasn't JG. I'd bet on Brumalough.

I think it’s more complicated than that. The original issue involved Mims. Someone in player relations shined a light on that. They interviewed him, and his family and opposing teams coaches involved in his recruitment. They uncovered not only those infractions, but a pattern. It isn’t fair to blame Mims, his family, other coaches, or our coaches who answered honestly. Blame Nieds. Blame Felton. Nieds was out of control. He was throwing parties. He had regular party room at a local hotel, and handed out money to recruits through our own players, from what I’ve heard.

It’s mind blowing that they could be so arrogant and careless with this stuff. Just pathetic with their approach and how open they were with things. Sloppy

I’ve edited this post a couple of times, but also have other accounts of this issue floating around the site. I’ve gotten more clarity on the issue, and added the observation that someone inside did indeed share information with Plowman. After that, the matter regarding Mims was answered in a way that revealed many more similar issues. I’m getting this info third hand, and it involves reputations, and individual accounts about an ongoing investigation. I’m going to refrain from further commentary until the dust settles. I was (at the least) partially incomplete in my first account regarding the source of the first leak. There are too many moving parts to follow this one. As I’ve heard more, The sums of money, and sloppiness of the whole thing make me want to take a step back. I’ll try to provide useful info on the search for coaches and AD, but I’m going to quit being a private detective on the investigation. In summary, I’ll say that the key takeaway is that we were so egregious there will be no way for the ncaa to go easy on us.[/QUOTE]

The Chancellor said in the presser it was someone outside the program. I think it was Kirby Smart after Mims chose Georgia and spilled the beans on what's going on at UT.

This is completely inaccurate. The chancellor did not saw if it was inside or outside, only that it was a very credible source. It doesn’t matter who the source is because it’s over. You cannot make enemies throughout the entire program, continue to make poor coaching decisions, continue to get blown out by everyone, and expect to keep your job. Pruitt and Fuller should’ve been fired regardless of the findings in any investigation.

Thanks for all of the info.

I can’t believe these guys f’ed up enough that we’re gonna get hammered by the NCAA. Meanwhile LSU has coaches on FBI tapes talking about paying players and evidence of funneling money through a ****ING CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL and we take it on the chin.

This was what I was thinking. JG or his dad says to the coach "I know what is going on so my son needs to be the QB" Just A thought. JG got so much special treatment. I dont think he could have started for Maryville HS.

It could be or not. Don't think we will ever
know. Don't think even Alcoa HS would
have started him .

Brumbaugh took it to Fulmer. Fulmer was going to bury it. Donde got wind of some things and boom... that's how it all started.

Brumbaugh feels likely to me. Pruitt inexplicably fires him mid game. He threatens him in ear shot of half the team that he is going to expose the violations. The team never played worth anything from that point. I think everyone knew where it was eventually going at that point.

There was not a single "RAT" Players that are released are required to participate in exit interviews. Coaches and staff fearing their ability to continue working in the industry cooperated. Recruits fearing loss of eligibility were interviewed and they all corroborated facts. UT knew they had a problem months ago and this is the outcome.
