UT Putting Winning Over Values

Why is the University of Tennessee putting a winning score ahead of someone like Philip Fulmer who has always influenced every young man, he has coached, with a positive outlook on life.

He has been more than a coach to most of these players, and I feel anyone who would do the things he has done deserves more than what I see happening to him.

Many young men can honorably say they have played football for Tennessee and Coach Philip Fulmer. I wonder how many, who have played for other schools, could say the same regarding their coaches?

Whoever made this decision has apparently put winning ahead of the values Philip Fulmer has for his players, and I am deeply saddened.
