Phillip Fulmer may be going home to Tennessee to serve as the Vols new athletic director and the reactions from Vol fans online are nothing short of hilarious.
Of course knew this would happen when Alabama hit the ball out of the park with their hire of Greg Byrne as the new University of Alabama Athletic Director. Tennessee has panicked about their long search for a new A.D. and is talking about none other than Phillip Fulmer.
The reactions to this totally coincidental and not at all in response to Alabama’s big hire news from the hill people has been mixed, but hilarious.
Phillip Fulmer is coming back. Let's ride

That poor horse, you’re going to have to shoot it after that ride.
I hope Tennessee hires @phillipfulmer as their next AD, there is no one who loves the Vols more! Cant think of a better person

Actual championships aren’t won on love, but championships of life certianly are.
This is how all bad horror movies start, a rustic mountain village and a call from inside the house.
That Scream guy is way too skinny.
Nearly a decade of NOT meeting the expectations HE created! I have no prob @phillipfulmer as AD. #BetterPlace #Integrity

Yes integrity was what Phillip Fulmer was known for, that’s why the Fulmer Cup was given to the school that had the best manners.

Well that’s just Auburn fan levels of cultish.
The one thing Tennessee is known for is the Lady Vols, but you’d give that up because dur hur women’s sport and I need to win at football… which this won’t at all help you do.
YOU AIN’T A REAL FAN UNLESS YOU READY TO LICK THE SWEAT FROM OUT OF FULMER’S GLORIOUS FAT ROLLS.
Poll: Does this end with Fulmer coaching UT again?
— Russell Smith (@Russell___Smith) January 16, 2017
Of course it does, you’re just signing up a fatter Barry Alvarez.
I don’t know if you want his all, that’s a lot of all.
The hill person wet dream is half true!
Well it’s obviously an option looking at what Tennessee has done over the last ten years.
You would be a heck of an athletic director. Go Vols! There's no doubt you bleed orange!
— Clayton Wilson (@79_clayton) January 16, 2017
Bleeding orange might be a sign of scurvy, you should get that looked at.
Oh hill people, I hope this comes true for you. I’ll really enjoy beating you for another ten years.
