I read that article too. It just seems strange to me that Cutcliffe moves back to K-town after he gets fired from Ole Siss and the day that the Randy man resigns is ironically the day that Cut gets cleared by his doctors. Something tells me that this has been in the works for longer than just a few days. Also hearing now that Pat Washington will assume an “administrative” role and that Trooper is on his way out…on his on accord. Just rumors at this point. However, Cutty is a done deal I believe…new “blood” would be nice, but I don’t see it.

Looks like Fulmer may be open to looking outside of the Vol clan, according to this article. It certainly would surprise me if "new blood" was brought in. Heck, we couldn't even do that with our Athletics Director...

Look for David Cutcliffe to be the next offensive coordinator…Foolmer will not go outside the UT family to hire an OC. No, I don’t agree with Cut coming back, but it will be an improvement to what we had. Also, look for Pat Washington(receivers coach) and Jimmy Ray Stephens(offensive line coach) to be looking for employment at seasons end. I don’t think Randy will end up separating from UT after this season. My gut tells me that he will be talked into staying in some sort of coaching role…just not the OC. Just my 10 cents worth…

I understand from some knowledgeable Vol fans that the Vols have the services of coach Fulmer for the next 8 years, regardless of performance. UT has no more money to pay an ex-football coach since they are still paying 2 ex-basketball coaches besides the new basketball coach. Perhaps a good move for UT would be to hire their coaches with shorter term contracts.
