I am so thrilled with this win. I can't tell you how proud I am of this football team and this staff, and the fight they had. There was absolutely no panic at halftime.
"Phillip Fulmer" is a former American football player and coach. He served as head coach of the Tennessee Volunteers football team from 1992 to 2008, compiling a 152–52 record. He is best known for coaching the Volunteers in the first ever BCS National Championship Game in 1998, defeating Florida State University. Fulmer was the Volunteers' 20th head football coach.
At the end of his tenure at Tennessee, Fulmer had the second-highest number of wins of any head coach in Tennessee history, 21 behind Robert Neyland. Fulmer also was the third coach in Tennessee history to win a claimed national championship. His 1997 and 1998 teams remain (as of 2015) as the last teams to win consecutive SEC championships. Despite a decline in the later years of his career, he was considered by many to be an icon of college football, especially one of institutional loyalty. In recognition of his accomplishments at Tennessee, Fulmer was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 2012.
Fulmer currently serves as a special assistant to the athletic director at East Tennessee State University.

He's going to be out some time, probably the remainder of the year. I don't know that, but that's what I'm assuming.
So it's like Auburn and Georgia last year. That's the exact kind of performance we're going to need and we're going to look for.
Getting done what he got done, coming back here to win this football game at a place where he had been, I don't know if there is a better story in the world than what this guy has done.
We've bent over backward to do everything we can to make this happen including going down the day of the game, ... Obviously, if they're sending people out of Louisiana, I don't know why we would be going in. My (university) president will not allow that to happen. I'm sure the conference office will be on the same page.
Obviously if they're sending people out of Louisiana, I don't know why we would be going in, ... Our president (John Peterson) will not allow that to happen, I'm sure the conference office will be on the same page and (Athletic Director) Mike Hamilton is certainly on the same page.
Erik is our quarterback right now, but we have two quarterbacks.
