Hire Fulmer again. He proved he can recruit with the best. He proved he can coach via a NC. And no one can question his loyalty to UT.
He had a couple of bad years at the end but his body of work is solid and he seems rejuvenated in interviews. We could do much worse. I admit I thought it was time for him to go at the time because he didn't seem to have the fire anymore. After some time off, I don't think that's the case anymore.

He was outstanding in every way until better than average coaches moved into jobs surrounding Tennessee. In the 90's a lot of players were found in Georgia before Richt sealed the borders. Also a ton of them came from S.Car. pre Spurrier. To the south Saban gets anything he wants in Alabama, Miles is running Louisiana, and Mullen is keeping most in Ole Miss territory. Recruiting has gotten much tougher than When Fulmer and UT were dominating, and since there are never enough players to go around instate I don't believe CPF would be as effective. Improved coaching all the way around the league is what led to his downfall.
