In a word. Yes.
A day after the hire, the program would double it's credibility. Yes, I was for the Fulmer fire.
That being said, it would be a hard program to turn around. If I were Fulmer I'd choose retirement over MN. It would be a risky move for any coach.
A source confirmed that former Tennessee coach Phillip Fulmer is interested in the UConn job. Fulmer, 60, was 152-52 from 1992 to 2008 and led the Volunteers to the national title in 1998. Fullmer, now a TV analyst, was known as one of the best recruiters in the country while at UT but he was gone after a 5-7 season in 2008.
