Here is an often forgotten fact about Terry Fair. UT was not recruiting him out of high school because Fulmer assumed he would not be interested in coming to Tennessee from Arizona. For some reason, Fair had been a fan of UT for a long time - the way some kids do. So very late in the recruiting process, Fair called up Fulmer and asked for a scholarship.
A true Vol For Life.

This is fantastic news, Terry is a guy who loves the program and liked Knoxville enough to stay around after he finished playing football.

Not positive but i don't think he can go on the road to recruit. He can when their in town and maybe on the phone. Still think he will have a big impact.

What exactly would be his role? Not to up to speed on grad assistants. I think I heard somewhere that NCAA rules only allow 9 football coaches? So, would he even be able to help Martinez coach the DBs? Or would he just be hung up on doing more administrative type duties?
And an above poster made a good point. Will he be able to get on the road and recruit?

He can borrow my RV and park it in the street in front of his house.

Ryan, can you answer these questions....
I'm under the impression you can have a very large staff, but only 9 "on the field" coaches. Secondly, how many can recruit? I remember something about this when Urban Meyer took over at OSU.

This a good article on the normal duties of a quality control GA.
