I've mentioned before (a couple of times now) that I had Thanksgiving with a friend that works for Sexton. Has for several years now. When the whole fire Croom thing came up in discussion someone said "hey, we could get Fulmer." My friend did not hesitate one bit and said "Phil would take that job in a heartbeat...I'm dead serious he wants to keep coaching." I never thought in a million years we would actually be discussing this two days later. One other thing to add...I've emailed this guy twice today about Fulmer and I can't get a response. He takes his job serious and if something is being discussed he will not say a word. I personally think Jimmy is probably working this one hard. Fulmer is his client after all. But dear Lord don't let this one be true. I'm getting nervous we're going to screw this up.
The below was a post from genespage. The only thing that I call BS on (in the below story) is the fact I asked my buddy if he'd heard anything about the State job coming open and he said no. So I don't buy anything about it being in the works for days. But who knows.

That is what I'm hearing
"Here is the deal, A good friend of mine's dad is a big Ole Miss Alumnists, he is best friend's is Jimmy Sexton (Fulmers agent). Jimmy said there is about a 90% chance that this deal is done. Everything has been agreed upon they are just waiting on Fulmer to sign the contract and announce it. This will not be done until after tonight's game. Peterson was offered the job first but did not bite so Greg Byrne wasted no time and went to Fulmer. But this is not a deal that was done to just today. This had already been in the works. The agreement was a contract for 4 years, 12 million dollars. The money was donated from Leon Seals (President of Hancock Bank). He recently died and the money (12 Million) was donated to the school."
