re: Why didn't Fulmer ever coach again?

He really didn't want another job, besides, he was paid a shitload of buyout money

This. He was noted as being moderately interested in quite a few jobs in the SEC but he wasn't invested in any of them. He had been to the mountain top so to speak and now he was ready to settle into a long retirement.

Could he have gone on to coach quite a few programs in the SEC that would have thrived with him as head coach? Yes.

But I think when he was let go from his dream job with the Vols he decided to just hang it up. He stuck his toes in the water but he never was really interested in anything.
