Phil Fulmer refuses to go graciously into the night.
Less than 10 months ago he stepped down as Tennessee’s head coach, but not necessarily willingly. UT fans and administration had become restless, and in early November he agreed to step away at the end of the season.
“I’m still PO’d to say the least. There’s probably a couple of people there that I’m not going to invite to Christmas dinner any time soon,” Fulmer said. “I’ve chosen the best I can to take the high road. I really love Tennessee, so let there be no doubt about that. It’s very much a part of me.”
Yeah, that’s some high road you’re taking there, dude. At least after that hefty contract extension and settlement you can afford the transportation.
Phil seems to be forgetting the way he helped to force Tennessee legend Johnny Majors out of the head coaching position. Phil probably isn’t on Johnny’s Christmas card list either.
Yep, his comments are rich considering how he stabbed JM in the back. Phil is learning what Karma is all about.

“(Meyer’s) doing something that I did,” Fulmer said. “You create something that’s unachievable every year. That’s certainly what he’s done from that point.”
It’s good to know that the $5M ‘retirement’ didn’t leave Phil with any self-esteem issues or a bad taste in his mouth
Did anyone else get “excited” bye that video?
I miss Phat Phil!
