Fulmer, Pearl get new deals through 2014

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP)—Tennessee signed football coach Phillip Fulmer and basketball coach Bruce Pearl to new deals Wednesday that will keep them with the Volunteers through 2014.

Fulmer’s deal is worth an average of nearly $3 million over the next seven seasons, and the nearly $1 million raise makes him the fourth-highest paid coach in the Southeastern Conference.

He will get $2.4 million for the upcoming season and his salary escalates to $3.3 million in 2014 with automatic raises of $150,000 annually. Fulmer will also receive raises for achieving certain goals, such as an additional $350,000 for winning an SEC championship or an additional $850,000 raise for winning a national championship...

I've heard some of the Tennessee natives were getting restless with Fulmer these past few seasons. Wanting to dump one of the most successful coaches, besides Neyland, the Vols have ever had after two mediocre seasons? Talk about unreasonable.

I like Bruce Pearl.  A lot.  He's worth every penny.  If I had a son, I'd want him to find Coach Pearl and ask him for a nugget or two of ball-handling, rebounding, and other basketball skills that would make him tough to replace--or cover.
