Former Vols coach Phillip Fulmer appears to be out of contention as the next AD for his alma mater.“I don’t think I’ll be one of the guys they’ll even consider,’’ Fulmer said during a celebrity golf tournament, “because they’re probably looking for a sitting athletic director, more than likely. “Well that’s good. That’s no problem. I’m just interested to see who it’s going to be.’’ Whoever it will be,they’ll have to right a great program, that has gone so terribly wrong. Tennessee is on its third football coach in four years, as well as recently fired basketball coach Bruce Pearl after he lied to the NCAA over recruiting violations and baseball coach Todd Raleigh.
Representatives from the university, including former coach Lane Kiffin, appeared at a hearing in front of the NCAA’s Committee on Infractions last Saturday to discuss a Notice of Allegations against its football and basketball programs.
These are indeed hard times for a very proud program.
