He's doing the right thing. Time to let someone else give it a try.
Tennessee is one of the top jobs in the country. They should be able to attract the best people out there.

I like the Volunteers. Hopefully they will find a good coach and challenge again for the SEC East...

Hopefully they will find a good coach and challenge again for the SEC East...

I agree...as long as it's not Mike Leach. He needs to stay at TEXAS TECH!

They'll probably look at Will Muschamp at Texas, and Butch Davis at North Carolina.


By the way...Steve Langford mentioned Texas Tech and Mike Leach on Howard Stern yesterday! Apparently, Leach thinks Stern is "an interesting guy". http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/03/sports/ncaafootball/03colleges.html

Thanks Phil

Thanks to Coach Fulmer for his years with the Orange. All good things must end and its time for a new voice for UT football. Hoping for the best for both Phil and the program.
