i guess we can assume then that if Tyrone Willingham had not done so bad at Washington that Thomas would've been headed there...not 100%, of course, but at least 50/50

bottom line, all summer WHEN THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO STAFF CHANGE IN SIGHT, Thomas did not have the Vols anywhere near the top of his list, so how in the world he saw into the future that UT would fire Fulmer is beyond me...maybe we're getting not only a great player but a psychic
