Former Karns Head Football Coach John Fulkerson has been recruited, accepted a position and is relocating to the State of Georgia. He will be teaching and Coaching football there.

It is a Great move for him, because the State of Georgia pays a much better salary than Knox County and Tennessee, so there is a mighty hefty pay raise in his immediate future.

So, here’s to a good guy that has invested 25 plus years to teaching and coaching young men and women. He taught and coached at Farragut High School before moving into the Head Coaching position at Karns and for the first time in the history of Karns, they had a winning football program.

In the words of my friend Chuck James. Under John Fulkerson “Karns Football became something other than the place for the band to perform.”
