Fulmer Fulmer Fulmer!!! I totally agree with BigOrangeRock, Fulmer is by far a better option than anybody on the list. I don't guess idiots like rb4346 can remember Fulmer won the SEC east at least every third year for the 16 years he was there. That he won 75% of his games. That he won SEC championships. And lets not forget he won a national championship. So tell me rb4346 which coach on that list has anywhere near that resume. You and all of the other haters got us into this mess and you'll just want to keep on digging us deeper into it. Not only would I put Fulmer on top of this list, there are only a couple of coaches in the entire country I would take over him.

I don't think that Fulmer is better than every coach on this list, but he *is* better than some. I don't think bringing him back would work because there are still too many "fans" that dislike him and because too many bridges were burned, but I don't think that just because he is on the older side and has been out of coaching for a few years that that disqualifies him. Look at how Bill Snyder has done in his second go at Kansas State after a similar decline during the later years of his first tenure at Kansas State and after what would be a layoff similar in length. I can't say that Fulmer would do as well if he started coaching again, but I can't say that he wouldn't. I believe he could make a very fine coach given the right FBS opening. He didn't make it into the Hall of Fame on his first ballot for no reason.
