Fulmer has made it clear he wants to get back into coaching since being fired by the Vols in 2008. He hasn’t worked for a school besides Tennessee since his year with Vanderbilt in 1979, with that and a four-year stint at Wichita State bookended by lots and lots of time spent with the Vols. His Tennessee teams went 152-52 and won a national title.
Arkansas seems likely to name an interim coach this go-round, and may be wise to next choose a coach who can carry on Bobby Petrino’s points-happy tradition, since the Hogs are set up with lots of speed at their offensive skill positions for the time being.
