Fulmer’s Letter to Pruitt

For yins that don’t do the twatter

 

A video selling a new coach to the fans with "Won't Get Fooled Again" playing in the background is pretty damn funny.

 

As long as the new boss isn't the same as the old boss.

 

I felt it was time for a change when Fulmer was fired. It wasnt handled right. And Fulmer is like most in that he was going to fight and defend himself. I never held a grudge. He won the only title ive seen and I'm glad hes back, especially considering where we could have been currently. Stability, basketball rolling and a football coach on the sideline. I'll take it.

 

This is close to where I am. It was past time for Fulmer to go when we let him go. I disagree with those people that claim his firing led to us wandering through the wilderness. Our inability to keep from tripping over our needle [Richards] is the reason for that, not firing Fulmer.

 

I have strong, strong reservations about us putting Fulmer in power again. Even if Pruitt turns out to be a homerun, I will never be fully comfortable with Phil as AD. I feel like time has made a lot of us forget how badly he bungled things in the 2000s. Had we not been living off the momentum of the 90s (which admittedly was mostly his doing) the 2000-2008 years would have been just as bad as the last ten.

 

Did he ever go winless in the sec or have 8 losses?

 

I think Fulmer can be a great AD. I had my reservations as well, but only because I thought he would hire himself as HFC. He seems to be beyond that and knows that football makes the hay around here and will do everything he can to make it right again.

At least, that is my hope.

 

I just want to win again. Don' really care who is involved, so long as we get back to winning.

 

Yup. It ain't rocket surgery. Win or gtfo

 

xxxooo

 

I understand where you're coming from, but I don't see Fulmer hanging around much longer. He's go a 4 year contract, football will either be booming or everyone will be fired. I don't see him here in a 2023, he'll either retire a hero or get fired again

 

I think, internally and privately, he's admitting it was more his fault than he's ever wanted to admit.

I also think he wants to fix it.

 

He needed a few miracles to avoid that 8 loss mark. He took a dynasty level program and let it trickle down to nothing with lazy recruiting, awful assistant hires, and overall terrible management. He was set up for multiple conference championships - minimum - and instead let Mark Richt run him into the ground. We should have at bare minimum been at a level to where Urban Meyer and Nick Saban had a little difficulty getting their dynasties going. They ran over us like we were Vanderbilt. We may as well have rolled the red carpet out for them.

 

I thought the video was well done

 

A little Fulmer heavy (genuinely no pun intended), but it was good.

 

Oh, the good ole days

 

He finally figured Richt out by the time he was fire

 

If that’s true it would make me look at him differently.

 

Cutcliffe did.

Phil was like 1-6 against him without Cut.
