Let’s Ride as We Build in Legacy and Victories: Phillip Fulmer Shocks Tennessee with Three Luxurious Buses as Gift to Volunteers Football Program
In a moment that caught the entire Tennessee Volunteers community by surprise, legendary former head coach Phillip Fulmer has gifted the football program three custom-built luxury buses, signaling his unwavering support and commitment to the program’s continued rise.
The dramatic reveal happened during an exclusive team event at Neyland Stadium, where Fulmer—dressed in classic Volunteer orange—delivered a passionate speech about legacy, unity, and the road ahead. Just as he wrapped up, the stadium gates opened to reveal three gleaming luxury motorcoaches rolling in, each wrapped in bold Tennessee branding and designed to provide the ultimate travel experience for players and staff.
> “We built this tradition together. Now it’s time to ride with purpose and pride,” Fulmer declared to roaring applause.
Each bus is fully equipped with top-tier amenities: massage chairs, film-watching suites, personal nutrition stations, and team strategy areas—turning every trip into an extension of their training and bonding experience.
Current head coach Josh Heupel was visibly moved, saying:
> “Coach Fulmer’s gesture is more than generous—it’s iconic. It reminds us that we’re carrying the weight of a legacy built on excellence.”
Players were quick to take to social media, calling the moment “surreal” and “goosebump-worthy.” Wide receiver Bru McCoy tweeted,

As Tennessee gears up for another powerful season, this unexpected gift may become the symbolic push the team needs—a rolling testament to Volunteer pride and a coach who’s still very much part of the program’s heart.
