I heard he's up for the Alabama job. Saban misses the NFL and the Ghost of Bear Bryant is going to offer CPF 5 million a year and free donuts for life.
Well, I for one hope this isnt true. I know some people are going to say that we under achieve at times. While, at times this may be true CPF has got Tennessee back to where it should be and this is everyone is dissapointed unless we win a championship. Granted we havent won as many as any of us would have liked but you can say that about over 100 teams every year. Just remember only one team can win each year. At least he brings in the players that gives us a SHOT at being that one team.
Therein lies the one credible reason for keeping Fulmer around IMO. However, when you look at the recruiting class rankings that Fulmer has put up there compared to the lack of championships and BCS game appearances strongly suggest that his staffs' have not been very good at player development. I think that if UT got a head coach who emphasizes player development and changing the scheme as necessary it would more than offset a slight dip in recruiting and the net result would be a more competitive Vols football team. On the other hand, if the Vols just replaced Phil with another guy who doesn't excel in Xs and Os, and who does not elicit the respect and discipline from his staff and players to maximize player development, and who cannot recruit then the result would obviously be a net loss (i.e. bad coaching and less skilled athletes).At least he brings in the players that gives us a SHOT at being that one team.
