You can’t blame Philip Fulmer for anything

I don't believe Phillip had any idea that we were cheating. I think he has too much integrity to stand for that. But then, I'm pre-disposed to think the best of a coach who brought us championships.

The one form of culpability Phillip can not avoid is that of command responsibility. The bigger a scandal is, the further up the chain of command it reaches. It seems the current scandal is big enough to warrant the removal of not only the head coach, but (more gently) the AD as well.

Note, I think Phillip was closing in on retirement anyway. I think the speed with which Donde found Danny White is circumstantial proof that Phillip had already told her he was getting close.

But he clearly would not have wanted to leave at that exact time, under those conditions. He was gently pushed out, almost for sure.

At the end of the day, I don't think you can call him a cheater. Just the guy who hired and led one.

Buck stops with Fulmer. He does not get a free pass in this debacle, or a free pass in the demise of Tennessee football since 2001. He was suppose to be a bridge from Currie to a real AD. But somehow gets the title of AD much like he got the title of HC (I'm not complaining about that one just pointing it out)

He hired Pruitt thinking that he could win here with his ability. He wasn’t involved in the Pruitt mess. Pruitt is the one that is responsible for this mess.

Not trying to be a d*ck, but if someone under me makes a mistake and I do not catch it/fix it then I will be the one getting my butt chewed. The "I didn't know" excuse wouldn't work at all. I like Fulmer and was hoping he would be the one to turn it around but it is just as much his fault as Pruitts for not making sure they were being compliant.

I blame the fans for not being the best fans they could be.

not all the fans, just the negavols, who have brought the Vol kingdom down about their ears in a petulant tantrum. But they have reaped what they have long sown....unfortunately, so have all true UT fans.
