Fulmer was the last SEC coach to coach his alma mater

An exerpt from Clay Travis' book, "On Rocky Top"...

In 1992, when Tennessee hired Fulmer, three other rival coaches in the SEC had played for and graduated from the schools they coached: Georgia’s Ray Goff, a former quarterback; Ole Miss’s Billy Brewer, a former quarterback; and Florida’s Steve Spurrier, a former quarterback as well. What’s more, five additional SEC coaches played for or coached under Alabama’s Bear Bryant: Jackie Sherrill at Mississippi State, Danny Ford at Arkansas, Gene Stallings at Alabama, Pat Dye at Auburn, and Curley Hallman at LSU. In 1992 the only school in the SEC with a coach born outside the Southeast was Vanderbilt. SEC football was still a regional game, a sport played and coached by men of the South.
