When he went on Erik Ainge’s radio show Friday, Phillip Fulmer spent time defending Tennessee football head coach Butch Jones and noting how he has rebuild the Vols.
Much of what he said is largely accurate, but missed in that headline is something else he said.
Fulmer said on the radio show that he had four teams better than the 1998 national championship team.
“I go back and I look at my time and I had four teams better than the national championship teams. I’m telling you, ’95, ’96, ’99 and ’01, if we had had the playoff then that they have now, those teams, like ’98, would have been in the playoff.
