Fulmer's opinion will matter--and it should, to an extent--but let's not not pretend that he will have any penetrating insight that will help us land the perfect coach. Everyone knows the basics of what is desired in a new coach--and nobody has a clue how things will actually work out with any particular guy. Who would have picked Fulmer to succeed Majors--I certainly wouldn't have--and who would have expected him to succeed as he did, for the first several years? Nothing but serendipity--chance. Yea, if you can get a guy with Saban's background, you increase the chances of success--and that's really how Fulmer could help. If Currie and the boosters and other advisors (Manning, others) settle on a couple of /established/ coaches, Fulmer could try to persuade those guys to give our offer serious consideration--especially if he knows them. Otherwise, Fulmer has been out of the game for a decade and so I doubt will have much to offer when it comes to coordinators or lesser-known candidates.
