re: Just a question about the phil fullmer hate

I may need a Tennessee fan to confirm this, but the way I remember it - Fulmer was an assistant on Johnny Majors staff when Majors had to take a medical leave. Fulmer worked the admin to retain the head coaching position when Majors was ready to return. I never cared for Fulmer after that move...

Steele should fit right in.

As stated, Fulmer stabbed Coach Majors in the back to get to keep the HC position. It was Majors who insisted that Fulmer get the interim title as they were close friends ...at the time. When Majors was cleared medically to return, Fulmer had already worked the UT administration to where he was named full time HC instead. A major class A prick. His snitching on bama drew so much hate that he would not cross state lines the next year when UT was scheduled to play bama. bama attys had a subpoena waiting for him.
