Instead of "Vol for life"

Or perhaps fans that think former players should just automatically want to coach for their alma mater no matter what probably should just get over it.

I'll say again, I propose that we just do away with the whole concept. It means NOTHING to anyone but the fans. It has become an embarrassing irony.

Not a bad point. Fans tend to take most of this stuff a lot more serious than those actually involved.

When the Vols lose on the field this place goes into meltdown mode. The coaches and players have to move on quickly because there's another game to prepare for while the fans have all week to stew on it.

I've often thought the last few years with the coaches and players leaving that VFY made more sense.

Good point, but I learned this during the '90's when a UT loss made headlines.

I remember being in the Old City at BW3 (for those that remember that place) and UT just lost to Miss State in Starkville. The game was a noon kickoff and about 9PM a few players came in and were having a good time. Here I was still upset and here were some players kicking back.

In sports you have to have amnesia. You can't celebrate any win or fret any loss too much. You have to prepare for the next game.

That leads me to your point about it being years of stewing. UT fans are ultra sensitive to anything right now...good or bad. And those terms are relative given the state of the program. If UT was coming off a 10 win season with nice bowl win the complaints would be minimal in losing the RB coach.

Back in 1998, David Cutcliffe left UT's program for Ole Miss after the SECCG and before the Fiesta Bowl. Randy Sanders' 1st game as OC was the NC game. If that happened in this day and age this place would blow up. But UT was 12-0 at the time and the program was on it's best run in 50 years. When UT lined up against FSU, it looked like the UT team we were used to seeing whether it was Cutcliffe or Sanders calling plays.
