Fulmer Planning on Return to the Side-Lines Big Time

By next season, Fulmer the former Tennessee coach expects to be back on the sideline and back in the spotlight.
"I have a great picture in mind," he said of what he's hoping for in his next coaching job. "Somebody that's committed to winning championships and being the best that they can be, with a chance to compete in a conference that's nationally recognized. I'm not going to go walk into a door somewhere that you have no chance to be successful.
"I want to be on the big stage and recruit against the best that's out there."
In 17 seasons at Tennessee, proved he could compete with the best in the business. The Vols went 152-52, won 2 Southeastern Conference championships and a national championship in 1998.
But Tennessee finished with a losing record in 2 of his last 4 seasons, including last season's 5-7 mark. He was forced out before the season ended.
"It wasn't the way I wanted to go out," he said. The SEC Rocks!
