Getting to Know Phillip Fulmer

Tennessee Head Coach Phillip Fulmer is considered "The Dean of SEC coaches" mainly because he has been there since 1904. Phil takes a lot of crap from Alabama fans and I really do not understand why, Phillip has done a lot good things for many different people in his tenure at Tennessee. Let's take a closer look.

1. He has turned Tennessee into a basketball school...(girl's basketball). I am not kidding, the state has a license plate option for Lady Vol fans. Maybe Nashville will luck out and we can get a WNBA team!!!








2. Even with our current economic crisis Fulmer has single handily made millions for Krispy Kreme stock holders.










3. The state of Tennessee uses the sweat that Fulmer produces during a game to keep all of the bodies of water in the Volunteer state full during drought season.
-Note to Alabama Governor Bob Riley, there is some extra if you guys need it.






4. Fulmer is a Tennessee guy. He is from the state, played for the Vols, and truly bleeds orange. You have to respect a guy who loves the school he coaches that much. I did some investigating and got my hands on this never before seen picture from Fulmer's middle school.






5. We have to give credit to Fulmer for some of the great characters in American commercials and films. He was the inspiration for both the Michelin man and that huge white thing from Ghost Buster's movie.

6. Fulmer is also a national spokesperson for eating disorders. He is an inspiration to many young teenage girls throughout Tennessee for his work against anorexia.




As you can see we should not hate Phillip Fulmer, instead we should be thinking him. So from all Alabama fans, thank you Phil.
