André Woodson is the SEC Offensive Player of the Week. No way that would have happened without Coach Sanders.

I actually agree with you.

Unfortunatly we (Tennessee fans) are going to regret running him out on a rail and I'm afraid it will be sooner rather than later.

You obviously didn't watch the Vols play 1999-2005.

Regardless what the Vols did or didn't do 99-2005, there was NO reason for people to treat Sanders and his family the way that they did.

That's why he left.

There's no reason he shouldn't still be on staff coaching somebody.

What he knows will cost the Vols a game to UK within 5 years.

I agree that the personal attacks were a little harsh. Randy devoted a big part of his life to the Orange, and I for one appreciate that ... while at the same time, he needed to go.

I am not making excuses for what happened to him, but as I have to say every few days ... we did worse to Johnny.

I hope you are wrong about Kentucky, but that makes sense. He knows Fulmer and Cutcliffe for that matter, better than any other coach in the S.E.C. That is definitely dangerous.

You have a VERY distorted opinion on how things went down with Mr. Tennessee Whiskey.

Johnny didn't even do worse to Johnny what happened to him. Although, all those years of drinking probably have shortened a former Tennessee Legend's life.

Ah, the same old drinking accusations followed by a "former Tennessee Legend"

I am not sure how one becomes a former Tennessee legend, however. I am sure you know, though, since you have the brains to defend Randy Sanders while throwing Majors under the bus.

You have to have hard skin to be any kind of coach. They are used to it and understand it. No, it isn't always pretty but most coaches understand that every coaching job is a temp job. Some just last longer than others.

Except people in Knoxville were also berating his family while they were out in public. Disgusting... Sanders had thick enough skin to take it, he didn't want to make his family deal with it anymore.

Is he still with the University?

NO? Well then that makes him FORMER doesn't it?

He certainly was a Tennessee Legend while he played here. No doubt about it.

Did Johnny Drink too much when he was coach? YUP. Anyone that knows him or knows about the actual occurences of the time KNOW he was a drinker.

I've related the TRUE story of Majors demise on here several times and don't feel the need to do it again. It's not like you will agree with it anyway.

Johnny brought about his own demise though, and even if you don't believe that, you can NOT support what he has become since leaving here, which is a bitter, sad man.

Any grown man that can not even call a "friend" by his name, and publicly calls him names instead of putting things behind him and raising above the media's fishing expeditions is sad. Johnny has let the media bait him and made himself look like a fool over the years.

I think its fair to say Sanders was a good position coach at UT. As an offensive coordinator he was a disappointment.

To be fair to Majors, he left the program in much better shape then he found it. Majors came to UT after winning a NC at Pittsburgh, no small accomplishment.

We owe a great deal to Johnny, but it has been sad that he's been unable to forgive the university for what they basically had to do. Johnny laid the foundation, but was never going to take us to the next level. As for Sanders in depresses me that he took what will amount to a one year job.

This is all I will say on this subject. If UT could have played offense like they are playing now last year, UT would have been a BCS team.

I'm pretty sure his point is that Sanders is making a positive impact in Lexington and more directly on Andre Woodson.

Correct, and correct, Tidwell. Although I humbly disagree with Mr. Rockytop's assessment of Kentucky's win total at the end of the year (we'll win 6, maybe 7-- look at the schedule), there's no doubt that Sanders is getting the job done with UK's QBs.
