Clay Travis got Schiano canned.

In comes Pruitt.


Blame the fans and him for not wanting a proven head coach. Left them with another unknown.

Tennessee letting Clay Travis and a bunch of mouthbreathers on Twitter run Schiano off because his name wasn't Jon Gruden and Arizona letting Khalil Tate hand pick Sumlin are the two most embarrassing coaching hire debacles I've ever seen

You are forgetting the timeline. The Leach ship had already sailed before Fulmer became AD (Haslam made sure of that). Leach was not an option for Fulmer.

Honestly, I have seen very few Vol fans blame Fulmer.

They’ll have to kidnap the next HC candidates in order to interview them.

Saw a picture of him somewhere, fat as frick, belly hanging way over his belt, looking unkempt and at the post BYU game presser if I am not mistaken. Dressed like he wanted to coach again.

Fat Phil is a pox on Tennessee. No one is going to want to work for that guy.

I think that's the plan. He probably wants to redeem himself for being run off in the first place, which is what kinda started this cratering over at Tennessee. Although, it's debatable whether the collapse was beginning under him.

Keep in mind, this would be like if Orgeron had turned LSU into a 6-6 school, then you run a couple other guys through the coaching spot, then hired Les Miles back as the AD "to fix things".
Miles, like Fulmer, would have the opinion that he could bring the program back where he had it, hire a guy that would be his puppet, and likely take the spot himself if that didn't work.

Different sport, but Mississippi state tries the same thing with Rom Polk (bring him back to return the program to where it was and then hire his puppet). It failed miserably. Those things usually do. I’m reminded of Bill Snyder part two at Kansas State as well.

Also, by the time he became AD our coaching search had already became a disaster.


Yes because he torpedoed the thing from the beginning.

No. That is not what happened at all.

The difference is Snyder part two was a success at Kansas State. Fulmer part two would be an unmitigated disaster.

I can't wait to see it. Meanwhile Vols are blaming the QB.
