If he goes West he better surround himself with some offensive guru's, because he's obviously outdated in that respect.

Have you watched Alabama play this year? Their offense has them #1 in the nation, and it starts with power running game

I still say that if he ends up anywhere in the SEC, it's at Vandy if Bobby Johnson leaves...it'd be a dream come true for him (there was an article last week about how he first became interested in coaching watching Vandy)...and a huge coup for Vandy...

No way he considers Vandy. I'm not sure his recruiting would even translate to Vandy since Vandy requires a different type of athlete.

I would love for Fulmer to go to MS State. Crap state, crap college with crap facilities, perfect for a crap coach.

Why would he not consider it? He's worked there before...

Does this sound like a guy who wouldn't let Vandy cross his mind?

He actually started at Vandy I believe, but he would not go back there now. He will wait (if he coaches again) for a position in which success will be easy. He will not look to take a position that may risk his status as a college coach with one of the highest winning percentages ever.

The very reason he got fired is because of his winning percentage over the past few years.
If you think he's going to step in to another program and do well, someone dropped you on your head when you were young.

I'm not saying if he will do well or not, but I guarantee you he feels he can still do well. I believe the game has passed him, but I bet a ton of money that he does not feel this way. He won't take a position based on what you and I think, but rather what he thinks.

On a side note, I do hope he does well in whatever he chooses. I wish he would retire from coaching, but I won't be surprised to see him coach again.

Vicky Fulmer wouldn't last in Starkville more than 1 day---that place is the pits.

I would love to see that arrogant B* go to any college town other than Knoxville and enjoy the staus she had here.
She was a queen for 20+ years in Knoxville, nows she's just and old has been former trophy wife with a lot of money and a lot of bitterness.
Adios.

I think, at some point, UT "immortalizes" Phil Fulmer in some way. And I think that's a good thing. We owe him that.

I think it will probably be a year or two, because there is clearly bad blood over how this all went down.

Fulmer has made it clear that he thinks he can still coach. Unless Vicky or his closest friends talk him out of it, I look for him to be on a sideline, somewhere, no later than the 2010 season. It wouldn't surprise me to see him on an NFL staff next year, but I think Fulmer really wants to stay at the college level. The "where?" remains to be seen.

I doubt if he stays in the SEC, because he would have a problem coaching against UT. Too much emotion. Look for the ACC, Big East, or a non-BCS conference job.

If Phil Fulmer still wants to coach, the job offers will be there.

JMO.

So long Phil. And thanks for the good times.

Go Vols.

You are quite a big man to talk about somebody in that way. Especially somebody you dont know. I can assume you got picked on a lot by your peers so you get on a message board and attack people because it makes you feel big.

No class at all. Shameful.

When Majors left UT and went to Pitt, he had a difficult time recruiting. Facilities do play a role.

Majors didn't really land the recruits at UT either did he? (I was young when Majors was here, so I don't recall first hand, but that's the impression I got from others as I got older and began following recruiting.)

Fulmer and some of the other guys who were on the staff then did most of the recruiting, but Johnny was able to close the deal more often than not.

The tough part for Majors was convincing people that Tennessee could be a top-notch program again. Between 1974 and 1982, UT never won more than eight games in a season, and the one time they won eight (1981) was probably the worst 8-4 team in the history of the SEC.

We bounced up and down for the next five years (with a brilliant '85 and good years in '83 and '87), but an 11-1, SEC tri-championship season in 1989 re-established the program as a force and got Johnny and Co. into a lot of recruit's living rooms. It helped a lot that LSU and Jawja were off their game and stayed that way for many years, and '89 was Pat Dye's last great season at Auburn.
