Putting Franklin on this wall of infamy is shortsighted. If ones feels compelled to place any Vanderbilt coach here, it should be the man against whom Neyland was expressly directed to "even the score," Dan McGugin, who coached Vandy from 1904-17 and 1919-34. Vandy led the overall series 17-2-2 and McGugin was 12-2-1 against us prior to Neyland's assumpton of the head coaching position in 1926 (see Neyland: 50 Facts on 50th Anniversary - UTSPORTS.COM - University of Tennessee Athletics and Tennessee Historical Scores). Subsequent to Neyland's hiring, the series took a decidedly orange tilt, with us amassing a 71-10-3 record.

Some dumb choices in here.

You can't have an evil Rushmore without Bear Bryant, Spurrier, Urban Meyer, and Saban.

Saban has the added sting of being LSU HC in 01.

A defensible argument could be advanced that Spurrier deserves the mountain all to himself and I say that for two reasons. He was a local product who chose not to attend Tennessee because we had not yet jettisoned the single-wing offense. I am not sure just how much better we would have been with him at quarterback in 1966, given the fact that Dewey Warren then led the nation in passing efficiency, but Spurrier won the Heisman Trophy that year and was a consensus All-American.

Had Tennessee been a viable option for Spurrier when he graduated from high school, UT might well have been his alma mater. Who knows what the course of Tennessee football history might have been if Spurrier had answered UT's call under this scenario? At the very least, we might have avoided the protracted dark age of the late Battle/early Majors years. Instead, he has been a nemesis at, first, Florida and, then, South Carolina.

He also beat us when he was coaching at Duke.

You would be referring to this guy:

"Our old buddy [Allama] Matthews, everybody's favorite official, popped up at the game last night, serving as the linesman, working the east sideline. He was also the linesman at the Tennessee-Georgia game in Athens in 2010.

Al played at Vanderbilt and was part of a controversial finish of the 1981 game, pleading for a pass interference call that never came. Here's what Russ Bebb wrote about that game: "A defensive back was the man of the hour for Tennessee. Carlton Peoples managed to tip a pass out of the hands of Allama Matthews in the end zone on the final play of the game."

For those with short memories, he also made the call on the Jabar Gaffney catch in the waning moments of the 2000 game against Florida. There was a time after the 2000 season that he didn't work Tennessee games, but he's back now" (

Kelley "Da Future" Washington

He might not be a big enough villain to make it up on the Mount, but he deserves a statute or something put up at the viewing area.

I hated this guy after that ESPN article and the whole Stallworth situation.

Doolander, Baby Kiffy, Butt Cheek, Hammy, and Phil (we need a fifth one). There will always be two Fulmers, much like there was Elvis the Pelvis and Fat Elvis.

Still posting tasteless garbage about our HOF coach? He sure was a villain to the Vols. What did he ever do...oh wait.

He quit on us - that's what he did. If you look at my other Mt. Rushmore thread, I put 1990s Fulmer on it, the decade when he actually gave a crap. If he kept that fire in his belly we would never have been stuck with clowns like Precious and Monte, Jr.
