Fulmer in talks with Tennessee?

(Update: WATE in Knoxville is reporting that Mike Hamilton has said Phillip Fulmer "will not return to take the helm" of the Tennessee program.)

The Sporting News is reporting that Tennessee's board of trustees has contacted Phillip Fulmer about being the new athletic director, or maybe even coach. There have not been any reports that Hamilton has talked to Fulmer, so this probably bodes poorly for Hamilton. There are also reports, however, that no trustee has talked to Fulmer in an official capacity.

This comes after rumors that Muschamp and Gruden have turned down the coaching job.
