The Optimist Club of Knoxville will honor Phillip Fulmer with an Appreciation Day on Friday.
Fulmer, the University of Tennessee’s second-winningest football coach, will be feted at noon at the Foundry on the World’s Fair site.
Among several scheduled speakers is Knox County Juvenile Judge Tim Irwin, a former UT player.
The program will recognize the impact Fulmer had on the community.
Fulmer was head coach of the Vols from 1993 through 2008, when he agreed to a negotiated resignation.
