I still remember him hugging the players with tears rolling down his face at his last game. I felt like I needed to, so I just fired off a letter of encouragement and sent it to the address listed in the UT Athletics website.
A few weeks later, I got a letter in the mail and it was from Coach Fulmer, personally written and signed, thanking me and pledging to prayerfully approach the next chapter, and thanking God for his time at Tennessee.
He didn’t have to do that, but it sure impressed me that he did.
Happy Birthday, Coach
