Herrera calls Fulmer a 'two-faced guy'

Minnesota Vikings guard Anthony Herrera probably isn't planning to send a Christmas card to former University of Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer.

Herrera, who was at UT from 1999-03, made three references to the Vols in a Q&A with Bob Sansevere of the Pioneer Press in St. Paul, Minn. None were complimentary.

"My biggest regret was going to the University of Tennessee. The head coach, Phillip Fulmer, is a very two-faced guy. The side you saw out of him through recruiting wasn't the side that you saw once you got there. He wasn't a molder of men. He was just a politician, trying to work his way through. I thought about leaving, but my teammates, being there for the team, is what kept me there."

Later when asked the worst advice? Herrera said "Go to the University of Tennessee."

The followup question was if he could change one thing about my life, Herrera shot back, "I wouldn't have gone to the University of Tennessee."
