That certainly put a bug in the ear of the Tennessee media. John Adams, the respected veteran columnist of the Knoxville News-Sentinel, wrote about the potential recruiting impact of the win not just in Georgia but across to country. And ESPNs SEC blogger Chris Low, who lives in Knoxville, weighed in on the recruiting theme in his Sunday column. And on and on it has been repeated.
Give Kiffin this: It is a proven formula for the Vols. Lest we forget, it was with considerable contributions from Atlantans Jamal Lewis, Cosey Coleman and Deon Grant that UT won the 1998 national championship.
My old buddy Jimmy Hyams called me Monday and asked me come on his Knoxville radio show (WNML-AM) Monday afternoon to talk about the fallout of Georgias loss to Tennessee. I did and he asked if I thought one game like that one could turn the tide against the Bulldogs.
No, I told him, I thought Kiffin was a little premature planting his Big Orange flag atop Stone Mountain based on one victory. But string several together like Phil Fulmer and the Vols did in the 1990s and the Dogs could be in trouble.
Garner wont go anywhere unless his wife approves. She is obsessed with the lifestyle of Atlanta and doesn't want to leave.
His wife cost him a good promotional opportunity working under Monte Kiffin. Stupid decision.
And just curious, but what makes Garner so unqualified that he can't be defensive coordinator at UGA?
