Jimmy Hyams is reporting that Philip Fulmer will be named the athletic director this afternoon at 4:00.
While UT considered Reid Sigmon for interim AD job to replace the fired John Currie, Phillip Fulmer will be named the athletic director at the 4 pm presser, but don’t know if full time or interim. With Fulmer at the helm, don’t be surprised if pool of candidates opens up.

There was some concern that Reid Sigmon was on the wrong side of the power struggle currently raging behind the curtain in the the department. Who knows.
At the least, we’ll find out whether it’s Fulmer or Sigmon at 4:00. We’ll have a live thread, so plan to be here.
Tradition!
The Papa!
That’s the one I was looking for.
This reminded me to do this:
As Christmas approaches, maybe our collective niceness has outweighed the naughty and we can get something good this year.
I’d be happy with a Leach hire still. I think he’d be fun to watch.
Hopefully Fulmer can reel him in. Curious if they let him go after Leach or direct him to different candidates. Then we’ll know more about how upper admin and boosters dictate things.
When I got the news update on my phone all I could see is “Phillip Fulmer named new Tennessee …” I was 80% sure it would be AD, 20% sure it would be head coach.
it’s PERMANENT?
