Both Sports by Brooks and The Wiz of Odds have it that Phillip Fulmer is interested in the Cyclones head coaching job. Apparently the stories all come from a KXNO report by Cotlar and Company.
No one knows the accuracy of the report, but if Fulmer went to Iowa it would certainly be a huge upgrade for the Cyclones after Gene Chizik.
Chizik managed to lead the Cyclones to a 2 - 14 record during his head coaching tenure. The odd part of that story is that Auburn decided to make Chizik their head coach after ousting Tuberville. Everyone thinks that was a bad idea so far. And so, the coaching carousel spins.
Even if Fulmer gets a head coaching job somewhere else, don't think that he would not jump at the opportunity to come back to Tennessee. He has said numerous times that he is a "Tennessee Man", and he has proved it by bleeding orange and donating $1 million to the school he loves (and other things too).
Update 12/20/2008: Go Cyclones.com has it that there is no truth to the rumors of Fulmer going to Iowa State. From the article:
"Hubbs also said Fulmer is being advised to sit next year out and decide if he really wants to coach again."

another job filled and fulmer is still unemployed.
