to be mentioned in this ESPN piece?

I know I know, ESPN hates us. Or that seems to be the mass opinion around here. Just seems like Neyland's record of 173–31–12 deserves to be mentioned when they consider Bryant as one of the all time best at 232-46-9.

Deserve's got nothing to do with it

I think that they may have been using mulitple national championships during the era as a qualifier. We have never been able to do that.

Neyland was in a class by himself. There will never be another coach to come in to a school and do what he accomplished. Times are different now.

I doubt there will be a coach who does what Saban has done

112 of Neyland's victories came via shutout. In 1938 and 1939, Neyland's Vols set NCAA records when they shut out 17 straight opponents for 71 consecutive shutout quarters. His '39 squad is the last NCAA team in history to hold every regular season opponent scoreless.

Saban is brilliant, I give you that. But he will never catch Neyland. Like I said, different times.

"Peole think I'm the greatest damn coach in the world", said Bear Bryant, "but Neyland taught me everything I know."

Bama fans have to be coddled & stroked & reassured that they've been good a long time. Vol Fans don't need that!

What happened 70+ years ago is not relevant in todays world.

Likely 3 NCs in 4 years or not being scored on. I'll take the NCs all day every day

This is a big part of the reason that Bryant considered the Tennessee game the biggest one on Bama's schedule every season.

could UT not claim multiple championships during Neyland's tenure? i mean if a team doesn't score on u for 71 qtrs u should have something going (i know, i know, we lost our bowl game that year) but you would think that the vols would play bama ball and claim some NC's that neyland could potentially have

Are you asking this because you are insecure with your fanhood or because the offseason is this boring? H*ll yeah we should be mentioned.
