Phil Fulmer, the football coach of the University of Tennessee will step down as head coach at the end of this college football season.
Today, ESPN is reporting that after 17 seasons with the Vols football program, Phil Fulmer will step down as head coach at the end of this season.
An official announcement is evidently planned for Monday at 5 p.m. ET at Neyland Stadium.
The Vols are accustomed to winning under Fulmer's direction, but for the past two seasons it just hasn't happened.
Both parties met this morning and decided that Fulmer won't return next season. They aren't saying that Fulmer has been fired. Most media outlets are reporting that he is "stepping down."
Tennessee officially named Fulmer head coach on Nov. 29, 1992, and he led the Vols to the 1998 national championship — the school's first since 1951.
