Creating the best staff in America... When Fooley was fired and Hart was on a coaching search, it was rumored that Fulmer was pushing to get the job back. He had Chevous back as DC and was bringing in a new OC of BOBBY PETRINO! It was apparently all being organized and negotiated at Fulmers HOF banquet. Hart's hands were tied bc of how Fulmer and the big money in Knoxville don't get along. My source is a local vol in West Tn that actually played with Fulmer at UT. Chief did not want anything to do with the HC job and PETRINO would be able to ease his way bak into football without having to take a lesser HC job at a small school (which is why he is where he is now). PETRINO would basically be HC in waiting. ... This would have been amazing. BUT, with that said, I am very please with Butch and company. Go Vols

Let me answer with another question. Without knowing his name, but knowing his record 152-52 in the SEC, HOF, and NC. Would you want him for a coach?

That is why I ask it, Butch is doing a good job recruiting, but we have no idea if he will be as good as Fulmer. Nobody in this forum will argue that and if this scenario was really a chance and I doubt it was...still if it was I would take it with that staff.

Was his most recent year 5-7?

Correct Fulmer's worse year and 2005 too. Still we put up with a coach with 3 losing years in a row and fired a coach that had one. It is all done now and I think Butch will get it done. I don't know if we will see the 90's again with him.

Majors won three SEC titles to 2 for Fulmer. He won back to back ones 3 years before Phil was hired as head coach. If Reggie Cobb doesn't discover coke, UT would have won the 89 NT. Please don't act like some of these morons who think UT was nothing before Fulmer.

Amen brother - the Cobb-Webb tandem was the best I've ever seen. When you add Alvin Harper and Carl Pickens on the wings and Anthony Morgan as the slot....man - those were the days. (plus you had 2 first round draft picks at OT the next year!)

OP needs to quit with the delusional posts 'cause all you have to do is look at how well we've done since we fired that crazy Fulmer guy.













Yeah, somebody will get it.

Was Fulmer really that good of a coach? Or did he surround himself with successful coordinator's? I think Fulmer was mediocre coach that had some good coordinator's that helped him out big time during the good times. Another Fulmer downfall was the recruiting pipeline. When Richt came in and kept a lot of Georgia's talent in state, and with South Carolina's program improving we lost a lot of our recruiting territory.

Do most successful coaches surround themselves with quality assistants?

Hey VF. I knew you would be around when the Fulmer thread popped up. I see you are still fighting the battle.

Hope all is well with you and family.

I hope all is well with you and your family also. You have to admit that I am nothing if not consistent. It is not easy being a Fulmerite you know.

I would have a couple of questions. How old is he? And what is his record over the last five years. Is his recruiting trending up, staying at an elite level, or trending down?
