Why didn't Fulmer ever coach again?

---

1 - Fulmer Award (it tainted him)

2 - Failed to negotiate another slush fund for recruiting like he had at UT.

3 - Clogged arteries, high blood pressure.

4 - Men's Big and Tall stores quit carrying his size coaching britches.

5 - Secret "must show just cause" deal struck with NCAA after NCAA academic investigation findings during his tenure. LINK

6 - Feelings were hurt by everyone calling him "Phat Phil" ... "everyone" being the interviewers at the jobs he lobbied for.

7 - There are rumors that he killed five hookers in Knoxville.

8 - He was demanding a "chow budget" be included in his compensation package, and that was a deal breaker for all ADs.

9 - Peyton begged him not to go anywhere else until he (Peyton) returned to Kneeville and could appoint/anoint him to a special position at UT.

10 - All the potential bag men that he wanted for his next staff have already been taken.
