Assistant coaches in the SEC are hired as much for their recruiting ability as their coaching ability. Being able to coach is simply the price of admission to getting an interview. Being able to recruit is the road to getting a job.

Let's hope all these coaches can sell what they're building. As much as Fulmer was degraded in his last years, when it came to recruiting, he was "The Man" in the SEC. Kiffin and his staff might have been able to equal what Fulmer did, but Dooley & staff never got it.

In the SEC, it's all about recruiting. Fulmer proved that you don't have to be a great coach if you have great talent.
