I try not to post about our rivals too much on here, but it is an off week and there isn't much on our home front. (which is awesome!!!)

Interesting read on Fulmer

I think that buyout and the stupid 8 win clause they put in his contract has the Vols over a barrell. Much as they'd like to make a change, barring something truly bizarre, Fatimus will be back.

Agreed.......seems like they would have learned something from Auburn...I think that is a marriage that both sides wouldn't mind seeing end. (see last years duck hunting trips to Arkansas) Neither side is willing to give up on the idea of a payout to the other. Looks like UT and Phil are in the same boat.

That is what makes this a great time to be a Bama fan.

I believe the 8 win clause has to do with extending his contract and subsequent raises year to year. So, what bearing that has on him keeping his job or leaving I don't see.

FWIW, when I looked over the contracts a few weeks ago my nearest guess was around 9 million including all of the Asst. Coaching staff. They would be hit a little hard in the first few years, but the rest of it I'm thinking was spread out over the remainder of his contract.
