I was there in Tempe the night the VOLS won the National Championship. My ticket is framed and hanging on my office wall. Before leaving Knoxville, I was interviewed at McGhee Tyson by a local television station and said “this will probably be the only National Championship [pertaining to UT] I will see in my lifetime” and I still stand by my words.
With the above said, I, personally, wish The Hall of Famer would either officially retire or get a job away from Knoxville. Without getting into the debate of the state of the program when Coach Fulmer left [which was bad], Fulmer had a great run. Most any coach would trade more victories even conference championships for Fulmer's National Championship!
Should Fulmer reenter coaching at ETSU, I sincerely hope it is not a feeble to keep his name in the media but instead a true desire to coach. I have met Coach Fulmer many times and I want to believe it is desire, regardless he will never coach at UT again.
As for my personal opinion, I wish The Hall of Famer would retire!
