Tennessee Vols athletics on a roll under Phillip Fulmer

Does Phillip Fulmer have the magic touch with the Tennessee Vols, or does he always take over positions at just the right time? After all, when he joined as a player, his teams went 2-1 against the Alabama Crimson Tide, won an SEC title and had three top 10 finishes.

Then, as a head coach, he took over a program that had enjoyed four straight top 25 seasons, which included back to back SEC titles in 1989 and 1990. But he took it to the next level with that 45-5 run from 1995 to 1998 and the national championship.
