Breaking News: Fulmer Will Not Return To Tennessee

Phil Fulmer's tenure as Tennessee Head Coach is over. Fulmer stepped down as head coach of the Vols.

Saying that he loved Tennessee so much he hated to see her divided, Fulmer agreed with the UT administration that this would be his last year as head coach.

Fulmer was very emotional during the news conference and was overcome a few times and had to collect himself.

Fulmer signed a new 7 year contract this past summer worth $2.5 million this season. UT is also on the hook for a $6 million buyout if Fulmer was let go after this season. UT is currently 2-6 on the year. Looks like UT found someone to write a large check to fulfill that obligation.
