Fulmer era ends at Tennessee

Fulmer era ends at Tennessee

Phillip Fulmer will not return next season as Tennessee’s football coach, multiple sources confirmed to VolQuest.com.
The decision ends a 16-plus year career for the dean of SEC coaches. A news conference inside Neyland Stadium will take place this afternoon at 5 p.m. Eastern, where Fulmer will “step aside.”
The Manchester, Tenn., native and former Tennessee offensive linemen is due $6 million for the remaining term of a contract that was renewed for seven years in July. The money is to be paid in equal installments over 48 months.
It is unclear, at this time, what the move signals for the future of the remainder of the Vols’ coaching staff.
