An emotional Phillip Fulmer, with his wife at his side and tearful, angry players surrounding him, announced that he had accepted Tennessee's decision that this will be his last season as the football coach. Fulmer, 58, is being forced out after 17 years as Tennessee's Head Coach, a run that included a National Championship and a 105-51 record. Well Phil - What goes around - Comes around !!! Little do people remember how you stabbed the great Johnny Majors in the back to steal his job away like a thief in the night. That's right - a thief in the night. I vividly remember my nephew who was an All-American Pole Vaulter for the Volunteers 1991 National Championship Track Team and a close friend of Johnny Majors son telling me of coach Majors needing emergency Open Heart Surgery and in his abscence Fulmer was named in charge of the Volunteers Football Team. After about a month of success in the replacement of Coach Majors, Fulmer spread the word to powerful alumni and school officials that if he wasn't given the Tennessee Volunteer Football Head Coaching position , he and six assistants would be leaving the program and seek employment elsewhere. Like fools they caved in and terminated the very classy Majors for this country bumpkin ! I respect Peyton Manning remarks that Coach Fulmer will always be his coach but Peyton has a quality that Phil,(he hates to be called Phil), Fulmer knows nothing about - Loyalty.
What goes around comes around - How does it feel Phil ?
