Guys, I am a Vol fan born and raised very close to Neyland. I have been around the Tennessee program all my life. In my opinion, Phil Fulmer would be a good hire for you. There were a lot of factors that went into his dismissal here, and it had as much to do with University politics as anything. Yes, the program was down, and he was transitioning his offense to a version of the spread (without the personnel) which led to some really ugly football, but there were a lot of factors. Its still a very hot button issue here as to whether he should have been let go or not. But anyway, if you guys get Fulmer, I think you would be fine. He is one of the top recruiters of all time and his list of players drafted to the NFL that were not top shelf recruits shows how he has done at player development. And as far as his former coaches go, he hasnt done that bad either. John Chavis is the best defensive coordinator in the country, Randy Sanders has played a big part in helping turn Kentucky around, and there are others here and there who have done ok. If he winds up there, give it a chance. best of luck to you.
