I waited for Gruden to says thanks to Tony Dungy for his super bowl ring.

Good grief that is so ignorant. Either he gets credit for winning a super bowl with a previously under performing team or he gets credit for building his previous team into a super bowl contender. The guy can coach.

You realize that was in the NFL and not NCAA correct?? And you also realize that in the NFL coaches don't recruit players? General Managers draft and sign free agents. I'm sure Tony Dungy had some say in team personnel but it wasn't "his" players or "his" team. I'm sick of seeing this argument.

Both coaches won a single championship as a head coach. After Gruden won his (with a team someone else built for him), he went 45-53 over the next seven years, and got canned.
After Fulmer won his (with a team he built himself), he went 85-41 over the next 10 years, and got canned for it.

Just read where some are wanting Fulmer back and make Tee Martin o/c.

You failed to mention that Gruden beat a team in that superbowl that he had built. So one could argue with your logic he got 2 teams to the SB that season.

No use in living in the past, the future is not Fulmer......great guy, legandary coach......been there, done that got the t-shirt.

Some people need to let go. This isn't a Bill Snyder situation. Fulmer needs to be honored as a great coach in UT history, but he needs to stay in UT history.

I am all for hiring Jon Gruden. Wanted to say that before I posted the list below. It's the short list of National Championship winning coaches since 1990, excluding those coaches over the age of 64. Besides Fulmer and Gruden, I am also hearing some Stoops rumors...

Dennis Erickson
Steve Spurrier
Phil Fulmer
Bob Stoops
Nick Saban
Pete Carroll
Mack Brown
Urban Meyer
Les Miles
Gene Chizik

Let me revisit my coach criteria if it's not Gruden.

No assitant coaches
No Bammer coaches - Had enough there
No coaches from inferior conference - Had enough Doofus
No re-runs (fulmer, Cut, ETC)

So no on Fulmer.
