Phillip Fulmer (official thread)
Dispatch
Quote:
Phillip Fulmer isn't ready to do what Lloyd Carr did. The Tennessee coach wants to put the Volunteers on top one more time before he's through.
"I want to win another national championship," said the 57-year-old Fulmer, who won his lone national title in 1998. "I don't want to do this forever ... but I want to coach for a good while and get back to the top of that mountain."
Such a goal proved elusive for Carr, who won a national title with Michigan in 1997 and a handful of conference titles as well. Carr, 62, announced his retirement earlier this week after a season that included a loss to Appalachian State and a fourth straight defeat to rival Ohio State.

Ah, continued middle of the road SEC team for some time to come. I'm guessing the attempted suicide rate in the State of Tennessee is going up....

I've got a very good friend who is a UT fan.
He'll be sick. He thought elmer fudd was retiring.

Fulmer is working hard to grab Rob Spence from Clemson after David Cutcliffe left for Duke.
Word is that Clemson is not trying very hard to convince him to stay...they are ready to hand over the OC reigns to Dabo Swinney.

CPD
Vols' Fulmer punishes team
Wednesday, January 23, 2008
From wire reports
Tennessee football coach Phillip Fulmer made his team take an early morning run as punishment for the arrest of a freshman running back.
Daryl Vereen was charged with public intoxication early Monday morning.
After a Tennessee player was arrested for the second time in less than two weeks, Fulmer said he made the entire team run at 6 a.m. Tuesday to show he wasn't going to tolerate such behavior. He also said Vereen will have to do community service and participate in police ride-alongs as part of his violation of team rules.

I wasn't aware that teams were still having coach supervised/mandated practices. Doesn't the NCAA limit the number of practices that a team can have during the "off season"? I know that most teams will practice "on their own" and/or weight train during the "off season"; however, I didn't think that the coach was allowed to take an active role (i.e. require them to do anything.....like extra running). 
Anyway it seems "really fair" to punish the whole team for one or two players violating the rules.
