Attn Tennessee fans: what are your opinions now of the Big Pumpkin, aka, Philip Fulmer??

He's one of your own, you know. A native son.
He had a fine 152-52 record at UT, going 8-7 in bowl games, won one national championship in 1998, 2 SEC titles and 6 SEC-Eastern titles.
But........
He hired Jeremy Pruitt. Fulmer's boy. Under which rock is the Pumpkin hiding under these days (if there's one big enough to cover him)?
Would love to know how Tennessee fans feel about Fulmer now. Let us know....we have all day.

Same as it has been for 20 years.
His arse, along with Mike Hamilton, did more damage to UT, than the NCAA could have with the death penalty.

He kept these operations at a comfortable length to let Pruitt fall on the sword. This ain’t his first rodeo

It's karma that he had to hire someone off BAMA's staff to save his Vols. No one in the history of college football deserves the outcome more. 28 scholarships lost, 11 vacated wins, 8 million dollar fine, and 5 years probation. I hope they carve that in his headstone.

The fans? You mean the ones that threw a hissy fit over Schiano and all of Currie's other choices like Leach, which led to Currie losing his job as AD which led to Fulmer becoming AD and ultimately hiring Pruitt.
The fans quite literally asked for this, it's as much their fault as any.

He screwed UT twice.

Good coach, should have been given at least one more year when fired. Terrible AD, never should have been hired.

Same as it’s been. Remember and appreciate the good and forgive the bad

You have to either already hate Fulmer or be a moron to blame him for the hire. That search was fricked up beyond repair before he was anywhere near it.

Phil Fulmer just about loved Tennessee to death.
Still, the penalties were worse than I though they'd be, considering the NCAA has just about checked all the way out.

It’s obvious to me that Fulmer had been doing this back in 1998, the NCAA should look at vacating UTs only modern NC.
