Former UT Vols reflect on time at Tennessee | Times Free Press




Al Wilson: "I really don't even want to say the names of the two guys who were there between Coach Fulmer and Coach Jones. They don't deserve to have their names mentioned with Tennessee football. As somebody who went 45-5 while I was at UT, that's a place I care a lot about and I'm just glad that there's somebody in charge again who gets it and who wants to be there and take the program back to where it was and where it should be. For Coach Jones to embrace us and bring us back in is a big deal for us."

Corey Larkins: "I just want to see some fight. I've seen our guys for the last few years not only get beat to the ground, but then the other players push up off their chest to go back to the huddle and our guys just got up and walked back to the huddle. I want to see some guys with some fight and defend the program. That mentality came from the guy we had before Coach Jones. Derek Dooley was a loser. He'll always be a loser and he rubbed off on the program and created a losing attitude."

Q: One of the things all of you guys have talked about tonight is the respect you have for Al Wilson. What is it about him that makes him special to you and the program still to this day?

Steven Marsh: "I remember the coaches telling us to watch film of him. They would say no matter what position you play, watch Al Wilson and how he plays like every play is his last play. Play with that same intensity on every snap and you'll be better and we'll be a better team.

"We used to go to his house for a barbeque, and I was always worried about knocking something over or breaking something at his house and what he might do to me if I did. He just had that look all the time that you never wanted to cross him. But once you got to know him, he's one of the most genuine guys you'd ever meet."

Corey Larkins: "I got to UT after Al, and I remember coaches and trainers would tell me at practice or around the locker room, "Ohhh, you wouldn't be doing it like that if Al was still here. I don't care how big the person was, they would tell you that you better respect what we had just in case Al came back or heard how you were practicing. He was the guy that nobody wanted to let down, even years after he left."

Eddie Moore: "If you came to Tennessee to play linebacker, you had a bar that had been set that you had to reach and that was Al. That's who you represented as a linebacker at UT. When I first got there the coaches gave me a choice of which number I wanted, either 27 or 37 and I picked 37 because I had so much respect for him that I didn't feel I could fill his shoes. The best thing about him, when he would come back he didn't just give you a handshake. He'd give you a hug and his cell number and tell you if you needed anything to call him. That meant a lot. That's what being a part of the UT family is about."

Tennessee hasn't won an SEC road game (outside of Vandy and Kentucky) in 7 years. Wrap your head around that.

Much to my inner fan's disappointment, he really is.

Someone might have a different experience, but both times I've met him he's been a really good dude.

I agree. I've met him a few times as well and I really wanted to hate him, but he's very likeable and seems to be a great guy. Always a good conversation...
