I see your point, but you can’t forget he won the East 6 times. All the other coaches on this list I would argue had trouble against 1 of the big three as well. Neyland is really the lone number one and for good reason. The others you can make arguments for and against for their places in the top 5.The other thing that clouds Fulmer’s tenure, apart from the drift into mediocrity at the end, was his inability to deal with Spurrier and the gators. Except for a handful of games, we didn’t exactly look like a dominant program going against them. A few more wins in that series, and Fulmer would have risen in the esteem of the fans to a remarkable degree
Hard to argue that fulmer isn’t a solid number 2 as painful as it is for some fans to admit. He’s my number 2 behind Neyland as well.
