Why Phillip Fulmer got banned from UT Vols football practice for coaching linemen


Phillip Fulmer couldn’t help himself.

Tennessee’s athletics director saw a couple of offensive linemen who he thought needed coaching during a drill last fall. So Fulmer, the former Vols coach, jumped in and coached them up.

That’s an NCAA violation.

Fulmer’s mistake was among eight NCAA violations that Tennessee reported during the last six months of 2018. UT released a report detailing the violations to USA TODAY NETWORK - Tennessee in response to a public records request.

I imagine he was on the practice field and just gave some pointers by instinct when he saw an area for improvement. It is funny, though. The question is...was the coaching given while eating Dunkin or Krispy Kreme?

He didn't like being on film, cause he knew it was wrong.

I really doubt he jumped!

He should be banned from games and practice for 5 years
Nah, let him keep on keepin' on. CJP is of the personality type he'll absorb and retain then blow the top in a violent and explosive manner. When he lights into Fat Phil it'll be an epic event. I'll say 2 more seasons max then he'll blow Fulmer up and there'll be enough dough and glaze to stock a puke orange Kay May shop right next to the football complex.

This is why CNS will never be a AD. Imagine him walking out to practice as AD and he sees a DB going thru drill not being in phase??? He'd throw his strawhat on the ground and start walking that guy through the drill the right way!

I think they should give UT the death penalty over this. [emoji23]

But, seriously, as much as I loathe PF, this is ridiculous.

Agree. I strongly dislike Fulmer and pretty much everything about UT, but this violation..not worth the time to talk about it. The guy is a coach/teacher by nature and just couldn't help himself. I mean, don't go do it again, donut boy, but I would let you slide if it was up to me.
