Ouch...

“My argument would be what they going to do and who are they going to get? Sure, there are some coaches out there that could take them to another level, but the likelihood of somebody coming in and doing better than Coach Fulmer did are pretty slim, and the chance of getting somebody to come in and not accomplish the things he did is much larger. Not many people can do what he has done. It’s going to be a tall order.

“In some people’s minds, his recent record overshadowed what he’s done. I haven’t talked with him lately, but I’m sure he hasn’t been happy. Last year wasn’t his best, but he made it to SEC championship game and was one play away from winning that one against the eventual national champion. I hope what happens is best for the university and for him, but it’s going to be hard to match what he’s done.”

The best argument ever:

"Who ya gunna git?"

I'm going to go to Law School, pass the Bar, and becomes a trial lawyer. When people get on the stand that is the only question I'm asking. No matter what the topic at hand is. "Who ya gunna git?", hopefully, like it has done to me, it will make a man break down and admit all his sins.

I wake up in cold sweats at night with auditory hallucinations of people saying, "Who ya gunna git?". I have to see someone about this.

Andy Kell brings up a good point, but i think we can find someone to replace Fulmer. I mean does anybody actually think Fulmer was the "mastermind" of the 98 title? Seriously?

Actually, It's Fulmers. his players, and his team. no Majors holdovers. There's no one who can take that away from him.

Dear Andy Kelly,

Realistically, you are correct. The odds of us getting someone else that will will a national championship and 2 SEC championships in his first 7 years may be slim. But there are plenty of coaches out there that can go 0-fer over the last 10 seasons and they don't have to make $2.5 million a year to do so, nor will they have a team that is any less fundamentally sound or entertaining than the group we've seen over the last 7 seasons.

Thank you for being a great Vol and thanks for listening...

Actually, I'm kind of interested in seeing the long and inane list of assistant coaches, recruiting coordinators, injured Florida St. quarterbacks, Syracuse referees, Arkansas fumblers, and secret booster kingpin puppeteers who were actually responsible for the '98 title.

Call it inane all you want. The numbers don't lie. How many championships has Fulmer every won without Rodney Garner recruited Peach State Stars? Compare that number to how may UGA has won since Fulmer let Rodney walk. That tells the tale.

I am probably gonna get slammed for this but here goes... Can anyone here deny that the '98 team, while good, was also the luckiest team they ever saw? See the Arkansas game and facing FSU with a backup QB. I am not knocking the team or the championship because that night was very special to me. But lets be honest, that season was not really "master minded" at all.

Let's just hope the battle cry of "who ya gunna get" is not matched by the wail of "oh, what a get we got" a year from now.

Ok, Georgia, Florida, LSU, Bama, and Ole Miss were all better after they fired their head coaches, why can't UT do the same?

Which head coach got fired do you speak of? Bama went through a few. It took Georgia awhile to find Richt and Ole Miss is on #2 since Cutcliffe. LSU seems to have done the best but Saban was not fired.

There has never been a coach that won a championship without some luck, and there has never been one that won it without some good quality assitance. Garnder was a key ingredient, but you've got to give the chef some credit; Fulmer took a championship quality team and won a championship with it. That's his job, and in 1998 he did it well.

If an immobile stiff like Chris Weinke had started for Florida State against that Tennessee defense, it wouldn't have been long before Outzen was in the game anyways.
