Favorite coach in Knoxville

[Rocky Top T]

Mine are 1. Tony V. 2. Rick Barnes. 3. Kim Caldwell 4. Josh Heupel 5. Karen Weekly. I meant to say the major sports

 

[vols 30]

I really don't have a favorite. They all have their programs in great shape.

Kim is a little easier on the eyes

 

[fossilfiction]

This is going to come down to which sport you like the most.

 

[HeuperDrive]

Have to pick Rick as my favorite.

It’s gonna be a really sad day when he retires.

 

[kiddiedoc]

Why do we have to have a favorite? How about E) All of the above?

 

[TNHopeful505]

I like to look at Kim Caldwell the most.

All of the above.

 

[Brave Volunteer]

I like em all but my favorites are Tony Vitello and Joe Kirt.
Kirt has been on the sidelines for The Lady Vols Soccer team since 2007.

I like all of them. Don't need to play favorites.

 

[MHS Rebel]

Just to be clear, you mean at UT Knoxville? Not Farragut, Catholic, Central, West?

 

[CAVPUT]

Vitello and it's not close.

Yes.

 

[Rocky Top T]

Vitello and it's not close.

Agree

 

[Special Ed]

I'll get back to you after I decide which of my children is my favorite.

i think they are all great coaches all are my #1

All of these coaches are great in their own right. I think Barnes could be considered a legendary coach just because he has been doing it longer and has won at every stop he has made. TV will have a statue of himself in Knoxville before all is said and done. CJH is offensive innovator and could be considered a top 3 coach at UT before his time is over. Kim is doing a fantastic job and has the lady Vols headed in the right direction for the first time in 15 years. CKW is good but I’m not sure she is in the great category.

With all that said, Coach Barnes is my favorite but just because of his age and the way he goes about his business. When he retires, he will be missed.

Gotta give props to our AD Danny White for keeping and bringing these 5 great coaches on the hill. He maybe our real MVP. Go Vols.

Love them all but kind of wish CRB and CJH had the fire and passion CTV has especially when it’s clear the refs screw us over. CTV is honest and unfiltered.

If you ever get to meet and talk to Barnes personally, I'll bet you will immediately name him as #1.

He is about as solid of a man as I've ever met. Reminds me of my Granddad. I can't name a "favorite," but he's the one I will miss the most when he is gone. The impact he has on his players transcends sports, without a doubt.

We have been very blessed to have him as a coach for sure. I want a final 4 or better for him so bad before he retires. He’s a class act.

Agree 100%. If there's a coach in the country that deserves a FF or championship, it's him. I guarantee you that he would tell you that wouldn't be what he would want to be remembered for though.

 

[LegionnaireOfTheMiserable]

Tony V is the best. Rick is second. Karen Weekly probably has to go third. Heupel and Caldwell have shown promise, but it’s too early to put them over any of those three, especially with Caldwell.
