I voted Fulmer and I can't figure out how he's gotten the least votes.
As a fan this year's expectations pale compared to 92, 96, 97, 99, 2001, 2003, 2008, 2016 and maybe a few other seasons when I felt going into the season we had a chance to win the SEC. I'm revved up to the max every year for UT football but this year pales in comparison to previous years for me.
I like what I've seen from Pruitt so far but he's still a mercenary in my book. Let him restore us then prove he's a UT man by staying when other schools come calling, caveat G'Da₩n UT admin better be willing to competitively match whatever offers he gets if so....
Now Fulmer, he's a Vol through & through. He didn't get to leave on his own terms but he's back on his own terms with a revenge narrative (good by Currie.....) a redemption/savior narrative (lead us out the wilderness his downfall put us in) in having picked Pruitt.
Totally subjective poll but I can't see anyone being more excited about this season than the HOF coach back in the fold at the head of the heirarchy.
