Fulmer out as Tennessee Coach

Submitted by TomVH on

Tennessee just announced that head coach Fulmer will not coach the '09 season. This could mean big things for their recruits, as far as moving around. They have some big names like

Tajh Boyd - who just committed

Je'Ron Stokes - WR

Jerod Askew - LB

Marlon Walls - LB

D.J. Hunter - DB

David Oku - RB

I'll keep you updated if any news comes in.

This is funny given this quote following his commitment regarding Fulmer's status:

“I know people are talking about that, but when I spoke with Coach Fulmer and their athletic director (Mike Hamilton), they told me they didn’t think anything was going to happen,” Boyd said. “Plus, I have to like the school in general. And I love the school.

First and foremost I really hate Tenn. football (just have never liked them, Peyton, etc), they are right down there with tUOS IMO.  But, Fulmer has been there for 35 years.  He should have been able to retire or whatever on his own terms.

There were the last team out there that reminded me of our final Carr years.  It was therapeutic to watch them be stuck in mediocrity, without a chance of winning it all...but still getting just enough recruits to give them hope.

 

To see that kind of team from the outside looking in...oh man, it was good while it lasted.
