Sorry, folks. But if I was Dave Hart, I would NOT consider re-hiring Fulmer. I always liked Fulmer, but the Vols struggled too often under him. Yes, he got more wins for UT than Weasel Boy or Dooley. But, most of his wins were against teams that were not even in the top twenty. And, the Vols often struggled to win THOSE games. And, on more than one occassion, I`ve seen the Vols lose to those inferior teams. Yes, Fulmer could recruit. But then he didn`t do a very good job of developing the talent that UT signed. The Vols had more than one recruiting class in the top ten nationally. And, I recall a couple in the top five that Fulmer signed. But, the Vols still struggled too often. It really hurts my pride to say this, but I can`t help but believe that Spurrier could have coached some of the recruiting classes that Fulmer signed, and he could have done much more with them. And, Fulmer`s last recruiting class didn`t even finish in the top twenty. I would try to hire Petrino before I`d take another chance on Fulmer. Sorry, folks, but that`s the way I see it. I`m sick and tired of seeing mediocre Vols` teams get kicked around on the field. Fulmer just wouldn`t be the right man for the job.

I don't want to make anyone mad here, but I would take a struggling win over an easy lose any day. As for Fulmers so called decline in couching has anyone thought that it may have been something other then Fulmers couching in UT's decline? Fulmer was on XM radio Tuesday and he said he would take the job again but a lot of change needed to be made starting @ the top of the Universities Administration. Someone a few years ago thought Fulmer was the problem but look where we are now and he's not the couch. Here are some stats for you anti-Fulmer fans; Todays SEC top team Alabama, Fulmer beat from 1995-2001 in which our lowest rankings in those said years was #11. He also beat them in 2003, 04 and 06. Which lets not forget that in 2006 when we where playing Alabama we where ranked #7. We have been in the top 25 once since then. I think the man deserves credit.
