Phillip Fulmer said this week that he isn’t at all frustrated by Tennessee’s decision to hire a search firm as the school looks for its next athletic director.
Speaking on WGOW in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Fulmer noted that it is a “process” to find the best candidate to fill the job.
“They’ve said that all along,” Fulmer said. “They’ve made it very clear, the chancellor has. It’s her call. I’m sure they’ll start looking at candidates soon and see what happens.”
Fulmer at least at one time has been considered a candidate to fill the position, which current athletic director Dave Hart announced last August he would retire from on June 30, 2017.
