Phillip Fulmer’s most important decision was hiring a football coach. His toughest decision still may be forthcoming.
Imagine you’re in Fulmer’s shoes. You were riding high – until Sunday. Everything was good. UT’s men’s basketball team was SEC co-champions and won a game in the NCAA tournament. Sure, fans wanted more, but considering what was expected, Rick Barnes and the Vols turned in an exemplary season.
Meanwhile, the reviews on Jeremy Pruitt have been extremely positive. It appears that Pruitt is more substance than style, and that hasn’t been the case with UT football in quite some time.
