Several members of Tennessee's board of trustees have contacted former Volunteers coach Phillip Fulmer about returning to the school to become its athletic director, or possibly even its coach, ESPN reports.
Fulmer was fired in 2008 after 17 seasons at Tennessee, where he compiled a 152-52 record and led the Vols to the 1998 national championship. He was replaced by Lane Kiffin, who is leaving Tennessee for USC after just one 7-6 season.
Hiring Fulmer would be the latest crazy turn in a story that started with Pete Carroll deciding to leave USC for the Seattle Seahawks. After being turned down by Jacksonville Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio, the Trojans moved quickly and unexpectedly to hire Kiffin, a former Carroll assistant who claimed Tuesday night that USC is the only school that could have drawn him away from Tennessee.
Kiffin's abrupt departure is the latest bit of egg on the face of Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton, who has been dogged in recent months by minor recruiting violations for the football program, as well as arrests of Volunteers football and basketball players.
