Would have been a nearly identical situation. In 2004, they finished 10-3, won the SEC East (losing to the best Auburn team of all time in the SECCG), and beat the shite out of Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl. You fire a guy like Fulmer for that? Prior to 2005, he had back to back 10-3 seasons, an 8-5 season, and an 11-2 season.

We can do better. Look at Bama, they went after Rich Rod. I don't think he would have panned out like Saban. I only ask that you have a coach that you want under contract before you fire Miles. Don't go into just assuming you can have anyone you want. Dinardo had a 10 win season. If he can do that so can most others. You continue to win and the recruits will come. Keep Orgeron on D and Wilson on O. Coach the players here and I think you are looking at a 10 win season every year, barring injuries.

what did in UT was that Fulmer had all but stopped recruiting. Once he was gone, the cupboard was completely bare, and that only was compounded by all the coaching changes they had.
