Most important thing
[edit]I seriously doubt the most important thing in Phil Fulmer's history is the NC in 1998. More likely, it is Academic Fraud that Linda-Bensel Myers exposed. Or it could be cash payments to Tee Martin that were uncovered by Paul Rowe. Or it could be former player Romie Hawkins admitting that several players were paid to come to Tennessee by fulmer.
Hawkins has mysteriously disappeared since making these comments.
- Oh please! How come when Fulmer cooperates with an NCAA investigation, he's a fink, and broke a gentlemen's agreement", but some bitter prof is a hero! I'm confused! (NOT!) - BillCJ 22:56, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit]Seems that this article has become a place for ut fans to come and editorialize what they think about him. Well its not. This is a place to list FACTS about the man, NOT OPINIONS. And the facts listed should describe who he is and what he has done.

[edit]User @ IP Address 4.153.86.222 is proud to say that he wants the FACTS regarding Tennessee Football player Tee Martin and the cheating at ut to come out. This is fulmer's legacy, and despite what UT fans wish, cannot be ignored. This aint Russia kiddo. Obviously you are not interested in the facts, just telling lies about fulmer and are obviously biased.

[edit]4.153.86.222 added highly inappropriate and biased information, insinuating that Fulmer cheated on his wife, spent all his time trying to get Alabama on probation, and routinely bought off witnesses. This is not an opinion page. If this content is added again, I will report you. Dlong 15:55, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
No user 4.153.86.222 told the truth, something the comrades here from Knoxville don't care for. You can tell because as soon as one of the 'non-biased' ut fans come back, they will revert this entry back to the version that fails to even MENTION the 2005 season. I guess the viles think if they don't mention the 5-6 season, that it never happened.
You should be ashamed of yourself Dlong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.152.102.174 (talk • contribs)
The text that Anon 4.152.102.174 has been adding is highly POV and not very encyclopedic. If you feel that the information is worth keeping in, please see Wikipedia is not a soapbox and then fnd a way to include the facts without violating WP:NPOV. It might also help to talk the issue out here, rather than engaging in a rever war where you are outnumbered. And please, do not edit other users' comments. Thanks. -- Vary | Talk 22:08, 15 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm in agreement that the 2005 season should be mentioned (although not too happy about it). I put a few sentences in there supported by UTs site. Feel free to add to it but guys, don't put opinionated stuff in there. Somebody will just take it right back out. It stays on there for what, a few hours? Besides, hasn't the big guy and the Knoxvillians been through enough this year? Go mess with the real enemy, the PAC 10, if you need to vent. Let's keep it on the field.

WAY too much info on the investigations and allegations here. Time to cut the fat so to speak.
June 14, 2007
[edit]Today is the first time I visited the Phillip Fulmer wiki, and I'm less than impressed. There are way too many subjective, opinion-based assertions in this BIOGRAPHY. I don't agree or disagree with the things I deleted, but they should not be here.
Do I think Fulmer should be let go? Honestly, yes. Do I think that needs to be highlighted in the bio? No.
Fulmer-Majors Controversy
[edit]If I recall, there was a little more to the Fulmer-Majors fiasco in the early 1990s.
Before the 1992 season, Majors suffered a heart attack, and Fulmer was named interim head coach. While interim head coach, Fulmer compiled a 4-0 record, including an upset win over Florida. When Majors returned, Tennessee lost three straight to Arkansas, Alabama, and South Carolina, all of which had losing records. The media and many of the fans blamed Majors for the turn-around, and UT finally bought out his contract. Majors was apparently bitter, since he left before the season was over and refused to coach the Hall of Fame Bowl.
Just thought this might be worth adding...

Should this article be semi-protected?
[edit]As of the recents events involving Fulmer, I believe this article should be semi-protected to prevent vandalism and speculations from anonymous users. Feel free on what should take place. Averagetennesseejoe (talk) 18:30, 2 December 2017 (UTC)
