On a happy plane ride home to Knoxville from Arizona, Vicky made a stunning, but simple request. "Look me in the eye and listen to me," Vicky told Phillip. "I want you to retire. It's never going to get any better than this. You've reached your goals. Let's move on and do something else." Phillip paused, thought about it and replied, "Do you know any other job I can do that pays this well?" Probably not. Nine seasons later, Fulmer is still coach for the Vols and his salary is $2.1 million on a contract that runs through 2013. He's 141-43 overall and 89-28 in the SEC with 14½ seasons on the job. But as Vicky astutely predicted, it hasn't gotten better than that night in Phoenix.
