The way he was talking it sounds like Fulmer might be in danger of losing his job because he's the one who hired Pruitt.

It's not just that he hired Pruitt. I don't blame him for hiring Pruitt. The problem with Fulmer is that it was also his job to mentor him as a first-time head coach, and Fulmer has done an absolutely horrendous job at that. Pruitt has made enemies all over that campus, on the academic side and in the athletic department, and there's no excuse for it. He's horrible at PR. He completely botched the QB situation for the last two years. All of those are areas where Fulmer should have given him guidance, especially the first two. Fulmer has utterly failed when it comes to giving positive and supportive supervision and leadership to Pruitt.
