Joe DiPietro, John Currie, and Phillip Fulmer himself commented on the former Tennessee football coach’s return back to the Vols. But on Wednesday, it was Butch Jones’s turn to give his take.
And that’s exactly what he did.
Speaking with SEC Country, Jones said everything you would expect him to say about the move. He used words like mentor and friend to describe Fulmer, and to be fair, Fulmer also said they had a friendship the day before.
Here’s just one quote from Jones in the article about the situation.
“To have a guy involved with our University of Tennessee system like Coach Fulmer, a guy of that stature, a College Football Hall of Famer, helps everyone,” Jones said.
