Bmwolf21 Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Phillip Fulmer, who a decade ago brought Tennessee its first national championship in 47 years, will not return as the Volunteers' coach next year, multiple sources told ESPN.com. An announcement is planned for Monday at 5 p.m. ET at Neyland Stadium. Fulmer, who has won 150 games at his alma mater and is the dean of SEC coaches, met with Tennessee officials Monday morning, and they reached a mutual agreement that it would be best for all parties if Fulmer did not return next season.

Bmwolf21 Posted November 4, 2008 Author Share Posted November 4, 2008 Works strangely like Wall St, no? Yep. More golden parachutes for guys who fugg things up. Although I can't complain about the buyout money paid to Jeff Bowden. The best half-million dollars the Seminole Boosters ever spent.
