This is about winning in today's SEC. While the General was a great coach in his day, he would be like a fish out of water trying to coach that team against the likes of Saban, Spurrier, etc. I'm not just targeting Neyland, the same is true for people like Bobby Dodd and even Bear Bryant. The same thing goes for athletes. Doug Atkins would not be a good DE today, nor would Johnny Majors be able to outrun anyone. That doesn't take away from what they accomplished in their time, it's just a testimate to how football, like all other aspects of society, has experienced exponential evolution in an unprecendent amount of time during the course of the 20th century.

Great team but a few players I would rather see on the field
RB - Webb over any of the backs
WR - Morgan, Harper over Stallworth, Meachem
TE - David Martin over Cottam
LB - Jack Reynolds over Haralson, Raynoch Thompson over Rico McCoy
DT - Darwin Walker over Harrell
DE - Leonard Little was much better at DE than LB so move him there and Doug Atkins over Turk McBride and Ayers
K - Fuad Reveiz

Perhaps Neyland would strategize differently and those players would be even better athletes if they were coaching and playing today.

Perhaps, but we will never know. It's like philosophy, you can talk yourself to death as long as you want, but you will never gain any true knowledge.
