There’s been a lot of talk this offseason concerning the direction of the Vols football program, but Tennessee just made one of the more amicable moves in recent memory: the hiring of Phil Fulmer as special adviser to President Joe DiPietro.

Fulmer was the epitome of stability during his football tenure at Tennessee. He won a national championship, had only one losing season his entire career, and was named SEC Coach of the Year in 1998.
