- Fulmer “invigorated by this opportunity’ as Vols athletic director”: Link Quote:
“Sometimes I feel like I did in 1993, when I took over (as head football coach),” Fulmer said during a segment on the Paul Finebaum Show on Tuesday. “It’s a great challenge. I get a second chance to finish well and I want to do that for me and my family, but also for my university.
“I’m invigorated by this opportunity, and I love the people I’m working with. I inherited a lot of really good people. Now it’s just getting everyone on the same page and getting the culture right.”
I love that “second chance to finish well,” as I’m guessing that that is what’s driving him the hardest.
