Like it or not, there is no better choice than Coach Fulmer

If it was not for a couple of mistakes at the wrong time UT could have 2 victories to their schedule giving them 5/3 overall and a 2/3 SEC.
 
Fans would be upset with the SEC record but the threat of being not eligible for a bowl would not be so ominous.
 
Coach Fulmer usually has boring, dull teams who find a way to win more than they find a way to lose, except for this season. Or their opponents find a way to lose at UT's benefit.
 
As enthusiastic as UT fans are they have to recognize Tennessee is not a football powerhouse at the high school level. Why should a player choose UT over Georgia, or Florida, or Alabama, or LSU or South Carolina? A new coach will not change that. UT is a woman's basketball school not football.
 
It would be wise to stick with Coach Fulmer if for no other reason than there is no better choice. Neither he nor his coaches should receive a raise or bonus.
 
Apparently Coach Fulmer had valid reasons for recruiting who he did for the quarterback position and they may have been good high school players. There is a big difference between high school and college. UT did not win a national championship during the Payton Manning years but they did with T. Martin. Who is the better quarterback? Who is successful in the NFL?
 
To recognize the UT fans no UT game should be on PFV, ever.
