Fulmer Picking Up Steam/Schools looking at Fulmer?(merged)

I'm not saying he could take Vandy and dominate, but Fulmer will do well if he gets the gig. Vandy will be more competitive if he lands the job. I haven't heard anyone mention him as a candidate as of yet, so it may be a mute point.

The 2005 and 2008 teams he failed to get to .500 each had more talent than Vandy would see in 10 years.

With sucess comes complacency, but Fulmer does know how to get it done. He has something to prove to all of his haters in Vol-la-land, so in the back of his mind I'm sure he'd like to show everyone what he can do on the field again. I expect to see him get serious consideration for the job.

He said on Atlanta radio last week that he still wants to Coach. You are right he has no reason to Coach since nobody wants him as their Coach.

I agree with you to a point. I do think it would have to be the ideal situation. Low stress, extremely close to Knoxville, and at a BCS school. Vandy has all of the elements that could (and I think might) entice Fulmer to consider coming out of retirement if approached.

When did he retire; or do you mean "forced retirement"?

What does that mean? What has he "gotten done" this Century?

Vandy needs someone who can build a program from the ground up. I don't think that Coach Fulmer has ever done that. He did manage to keep the wheels on the bus of what he inheritied for 6-7 years, which is more than can be said for someone like Larry Coker.

Depends on how much money he is spending/wants to spend. Probably not limited to his own personal economic choices.

Fulmer's problem is that he is looking for a team already on the opponents 2 yard line so he can take them in for the big score, while teams looking for coaches tend to be inside their own 20 yard line, down 2 scores, with 12 seconds on the clock, and no time outs.

I think a good first step would be to get a coach who can consistently win 6 games. I think Fulmer could give them that.

Fulmer would need to win a bare minimum of 2 games a year against more talented opponents to pull that off. So, no. Actually, this year he'd have needed to do that against 5 teams.

For some reason, every time I see this thread title, I picture Fulmer pulling through the drive thru at Krystals.

Thanks for posting that. It was my understanding that Fulmer had already said he wouldn't consider the job. I'm surprised that Tubby is making these kinds of comments publicly -- perhaps he knows something we don't. As I said in the original post, I think Fulmer would be a GREAT fit for this job.
