Former Tennessee football coach Phillip Fulmer said has "something to prove" when he returns the college game during an appearance Tuesday night on The Tony Barnhart Show on CBS College Sports Network.
Barnhart asked Fulmer why he would want to coach again?
"Well I do because I enjoy it," Fulmer said. " I enjoy the competition. I enjoy putting teams together. I feel the same passion right now that I did when I took over 17 years ago at Tennessee. … I’ve got something to prove and I want to get to a point where we’re competing for championships. I love being around it. I’m not ready to retire at all. I think I’ve got 10, 12 good years left of being an active coach. I love recruiting. I can go to any part of the country, you know, to do it, because we’ve recruited all over the country at Tennessee. … But if the opportunity, the right opportunity, presents itself, I’m certainly going to look at it. And I think I’ll be interviewing them as much as they’re interviewing me at this point.
