Phillip Fulmer
His Tennessee teams made numerous BCS game appearances and won several SEC titles; He resigned as the head football coach at Tennessee in 2008
One of Fulmer's crowning achievements came in 1998 when he led the Volunteers to victory in the first-ever BCS National Championship Game, defeating the Florida State Seminoles. This win solidified his place in college football history, as he became only the third coach in Tennessee's storied history to win a claimed national championship. His teams were known for their disciplined play and strong defense, and he was instrumental in developing several future NFL stars. Fulmer's 1997 and 1998 teams also won back-to-back SEC championships, further cementing his legacy in the Southeastern Conference.
Despite a decline in the later years of his coaching career, Fulmer's contributions to Tennessee football remain undeniable. He finished his coaching career with the second-highest number of wins in Tennessee history, trailing only the legendary Robert Neyland. His loyalty to the University of Tennessee and his ability to consistently produce winning teams earned him a place in the College Football Hall of Fame in 2012. Fulmer's influence extended beyond the field, as he was known for his mentorship and dedication to his players' development both as athletes and individuals.
After his coaching career, Fulmer continued to serve the University of Tennessee in various capacities. In 2017, he was named a special advisor to the university president, and later that year, he became the athletic director, a position he held until his retirement in 2021. His leadership during this period helped stabilize the athletic department and reinforced his long-standing commitment to the institution. Fulmer's legacy as a coach, administrator, and ambassador for Tennessee football remains strong, and he is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the program's history.
