Yeah- that should go over well, especially given their performance this year. :frown:

Some probably figure their a$$e$ are gone in a few months so they are milking it for all it's got.

Interesting that the two UT alums (and former players under CPF) are the only ones that took it.

I hope there are no significant injuries from the door hitting them in the ass on the way out ... :bird:

No word on Pruitt....

He has already deferred his raise for the year

Just nuke the whole damned program and start over, including the AD.  They just don't seem to get it.  :mad:

So what is the verdict on Fulmer - asides from critiquing his Pruitt hire - how are people liking his running of the dept?  I imagine it has been a very challenging year for all big time college AD's.  It's good to hear that Phil led the way with a sizeable pay cut.  I get the feeling it is good to have someone like him at the helm right now in a crisis like this.  However, he is just a short term solution I guess. 

Word i hear is that he is not doing much at all. My inside the UTAD guy says he doesn't even have contact with Barnes, Harper, Vitello, and the coaches other than Poot. He has his lackeys do those tasks.

Bottom line: If Poot goes, Fulmer goes. They are tied at the hip.

The UT football program on a complete flustercuck right now with no legit hope for change in sight.

Okay good. Very appropriate.

And Fulmer? Had best be leading by example.

Poot Gump just deferred his $400,000 raise till next year....So he didn't really give up anything.

Yep.

And factor in the added couple of years on the extension and he still made himself an extra $7.4 million worse case.

Yeah, he gave up 400K.

I get that you are frustrated and hate his guts, but no need to twist the truth.

Deferred to June 30th 2021.....Then he can get his 2021 $400,000 the remainder of the year unless he defers that.

Oh okay, so not giving it up actually.  Well then it's purely cosmetic.  He really should give it up after the last 3 games.
