So I didn't feel like reading through pages and pages to see if this has been covered -probably has. But if Fulmer is now averaging 2.99 mil a year. Where does that place him among the top ten highest paid coaches in the nation?

He's still only 4th in the conference in annual salary. If you liked him before, you still like him. If you hated him before, you still hate him.

He's 7th based on his 2008 salary but 4th if you divide out the average of the 7 years.

I wouldnt say that. I think UGA and UF would love to have been where we were last year. CPF needs to win the SEC and a national title soon. Like I said earlier. I dont think he is nearly as bad as some on here think and I dont think he is nearly as good.

In theory, you are right. The funny thing though is that people always think they know every job that has been offered or turned down.

OK, if you had to speculate, who right now (or in the past 9 years) would make a serious run at Fulmer AND offer him the same amount of money that Tennessee is paying him?

I remember some whispers about the Carolina Panthers ringing his phone after the national championship and maybe a handful more in that same time period, but can you name any other prgram that would really threaten to make a run at a coach that is 57-58 years old that is going 9 years without a conference title and has a losing record to Meyer, Spurrier, Saban, and Tubbs, and a losing bowl record this decade?

Not true. Some coaches are viewed as untouchable. It depends on the coach and the situation they're in.

There is no such thing as untouchable. If someone really wanted Phil and they waved enough money in his face, he would be on the first thing hot and out of Knoxville.

Soo, Les Miles, Urban Meyer, and Nick Saban have him beat I suppose? I'd like to see where he falls in relation to Bob Stoops and Pete Carroll. I thought both of those guys were making right at 3 mil a year.

Disagree. It would be an amount of money that would make A-Rod's baseball salary look like minimum wage. For all his faults, Fulmer really only cares about coaching UT.

I disagree on the untouchable part. Tell me why no one went after Bowden or Paterno when they were younger and winning a lot? Certain coaches at certain situations are viewed as pretty much untouchable. CPF has had how many years at the school he played for?

I know Stoops is over $3mil but Carroll's is never released since USC is private I believe. Can't see Pete under $3mil ever
