Former Tennessee coach and athletic director Phillip Fulmer could potentially return to coaching under a new NCAA college football rule proposal. The proposal would allow programs to employ an unlimited number of assistant coaches during practices and games, expanding beyond the current limit of 10 assistants. This would open up opportunities for individuals like Fulmer to take on coaching roles, even if they are currently serving in other capacities within the athletic department.
Fulmer, who won a national championship as Tennessee’s coach, has a deep background in coaching and could potentially provide valuable insight and instruction to players. Despite being fired as Tennessee’s coach and later retiring as its athletic director, Fulmer’s coaching expertise and experience make him a strong candidate for a coaching role under the new proposal.
While the proposal is still under review, the potential for Fulmer to return to coaching, specifically working with offensive linemen, is an exciting prospect for Tennessee fans. Fulmer’s passion for improving the team’s performance, particularly on the offensive line, has been evident in his previous roles within the athletic department.
If the proposal is approved, Fulmer could potentially take on a coaching role as a weightlifting analyst and assistant to the assistant offensive line coach, focusing on improving the performance of players. His experience and championship-winning background make him a valuable asset to the Vols’ coaching staff, and fans can look forward to the potential return of Fulmer to the sideline.
