Right, and it's really not close.

I think the bottom line is you don't want either guy if you ever want to win the big one again.
Fulmer was winning 9 or 10 games a year with Cutcliffe, sometimes 11, occasionally mixing in SEC East "titles" and national contention, but Tennessee was never a serious national title contender. UGA is in the same boat. Richt is never going to get that program a national title. He will get you a lot of Ws and keep you in contention. UGA fans seem fine with that though which is fine.

This is a tough one. Phil has a BCS championship but also has 2 losing seasons in conference play, Richt has 1. They both have the same number of SEC titles and are seperated, head to head, by the hob nail boot play.
Unless Mark gets that title inthe next three years, I got to give the nod to Phil. The title is the trump card. His teams also ended the year in the AP Top 10 6 out of 7 years. Mark...only 5 times total.

Fulmer, easy. Plus he was good for the donut bidness in Knoxville

CMR legacy is yet to be written, so thread = silliness level 8.5.
