Further to the Adams article. I love our coaching staff. They’ve turned the progam around by being loyal, conservative, risk adverse and generally “old school”. That said, if Fulmer and his staff can be legitimately be knocked as being less “progressive” than Kentucky, it is truly time for them to go.
