I left my degree on the wall (yes, I actually have one) and a sweet ass 12" tall bronze elephant on my desk, went across the street, bought a book titled "How to build a House", and went Henry David T. for a couple years...

I miss that bronze elephant.

That is some strong hate for a job. Congrats on getting out of there.

He does the QB shows leading up to the draft and some other things but I agree that is a lot to pay him for that little work.

You the man, Tusk! You pulled a Johnny Paycheck, "Take this job and shove it". You should've got your elephant though.

They were on probation if I remember correctly for part of that time and still had two 10 win seasons thrown in there and the drought was only 6 years.

Tennessee lucked into the SECC game in 2007 ranked 15th since then they have been blah blah blah and won some games due to a very down east. If we had played the same schedule Tennessee has the last 6 years we would have probably won the East at least once, probably twice.

Their issue is a lack of talent in their backyard, DA boosters, and more lack of talent in their backyard. They will never be what they were in the 90s. Just won't happen unless they find the next Nick Saban.
FWIW Bama regardless of if they had ever hired Saban or not would have still found a coach that would have competed for a championship here and there, they would have never hit the same dry spell Tenn has when it comes to SEC championship wins etc.

A lot of people on here argue that there isn't enough parody in college football and yet, I think there is more now than ever. A bunch of historically average teams are getting talented players and competing with former big time programs and it is hurting the Tennessees, UFs, and UTs of the world. Michigan State, Mississippi State, TCU, Baylor for a while, Oklahoma State, V tech, NC State, USF, and the list could go on and on of average teams doing some good things.

...a modern-day, debauched HDT in a half built log cabin beside a small Lauderdale County lake with a bad-ass satellite dish and a picture of Bear Bryant hanging on the wall just above a print of the Lord's Supper, photo of Bobby Allison fighting Cale Yarborough and John Wayne walking into the sunset.... I can see it all quite clearly.
