2004 was Fulmer's last good coaching job. The 07 team that made it to Atlanta is regularly referenced by the Fulmerites. But 07 wasn't actually that good of a year. Lost to Cal by 14, Florida by 39 and Alabama by 24, yet somehow backed into the SEC title game.
It's pathetic that from 02 until he was fired, he only had one season where he beat teams with a collective winning record.
