Fulmer to Reflect After Season Ends  

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Coach Phillip Fulmer plans to take some time to reflect after this season of football - his last with Tennessee after 17 years.

Fulmer, who is being forced out of his job at the end of this season, said he's spoken with former Tennessee coach and athletic director Doug Dickey, former Tennessee coach Bill Battle and recently retired Michigan coach Lloyd Carr about what to do next.

Fulmer said that (quote) "the fires still burn real deep to coach." But he acknowledged that his family has paid a price for the time he's spent dedicated to the profession for the past 35 years, including the time he spent as an assistant.
