Is there anywhere we can find a list of all the assistants that worked under Fulmer?

I don't think he's going to hire someone who he didn't hire or admires.

Who actually respects Fulmer enough to still feel comfortable that Fulmer will still be above him?

Fulmer’s tree doesn’t have a lot of branches.

Fulmer seemed to do pretty well hiring DCs, whether or not they went on to subsequent greatness elsewhere (and Chief did.) But, his OCs, not named Cutcliffe, were not so hot. Maybe we should be glad he is focusing on defensive guys.

I would love to see UT publish one of these. The NCAA Basketball Hall of Fame in KC has one of those for college basketball coaches. It’s very cool. Guess who has the most prolific college basketball coaching tree?

Some coaching trees only tell half of the influence story when they only record an assistant who worked under another and then departed to another coaching position.

Truly organic coaching trees begin with players who become coaches and assistants and coordinators who coach beyond.



















Yep, Bobby Knight.

was thinking same thing.. Fulmer and Cuttys tree is pretty bare. Cutty is one of the best minds in the game and noone is lighting it up after working for him for years.....

To put things in perspective, Dooley and Sunseri are part of Sabans coaching tree.
