Seems like Tennessee should be paying him less since literally no other program wants him as their AD.

UT fans, honest question...is there ANY chance at all whatsoever that fulmer will eventually be UT's head coach? I'm not saying anythign bad abotu pruitt here, but fulmer seems like the kind of guy that would want to insert himself as the coach if he's able to. Is that in any way a feasible scenario?

Other fanbases will say yes. But in all honesty i believe that ship has sailed. Hes only a few years younger than Spurrier. He already has a legacy.

Year 5 will be the head coaching position.

I could see it if they fire Pruitt at some point during the season similar to Wisconsin’s situation. I feel like Fulmer would be the guy to jump the gun on making a change specifically to do that.

The man has a giant ego. Age doesn’t change that.

His overall legacy is one of backstabbing (Majors) and lying. He destroyed the UT program, to a point that it may not ever recover, yet y'all allow him back through the front door.......

4 x 3 = 12. 4 and multiples of 4 are good numbers when discussing donuts.

Did Clay Travis also get a contract? He should also get incentives for ensuring Fulmer doesn't make a bad coaching hire.

Same reason LSU pays Ed Orgeron what it does, including a large buyout: Bad leadership from his bosses.
