I didn't really know who the heck this was...then realize he played in the 90's when I googled him...but I was born in 93 so I didn't really know this guy. Don't kill me, I have heard of other players in the 90's...just not him for some reason. Apparantly he was great here and this is a great hire so I'm happy if ya'll are happy! haha GBO!!!

He was a great player. Does anyone remember if he went out for passes too? For some reason I think I remember him going in on O a couple of times. Great returner too.

Terry Fair and Deon Grant are my two favorite DBs from TNs decade long run.

TF's one-handed interdeption against Florida. And DG's 3 int game vs Auburn--still iconic plays.

I have NEVER heard Neyland louder than I did when DG picked off the first pass of the game and ran it back for a TD.

Welcome back, TF! Good to have Tennessee blood in the ranks.

The one handed interception against Florida in '98? That was Deon Grant

This hire ticks me off!! damndamndamn, My fav Vol ever. And one of my fav Lions ever.

Damn good hire by bJones. But it kills my afternoon radio experience. WNOX needs to open up the pocketbook and hire Gruden.

Why does everyone think he going to be an asset in recruiting? What has he done to make you think he's going to be a good recruiter? Glad to have him on board but I don't see it being that big of a deal when it comes to recruiting. Jmo. GBO!

He can sit down and say "Listen, i was a DB at Tennessee, and then went on to play in the NFL, so i know what you need to do in order to do the same."

This is probably a question that people will go off on me for but I just don't know. How much of an impact does the hiring of a grad assistant impact the football team? Can he help recruit?

.......and while I was working on editing my profile and then posting this I got my answer. My apologies.

DD talked a mean game about VFL program, but proceeded to alienate former players from this program.

How is asking them to telephone ahead instead of just showing up unexpected...alienating? It's what civilized people do. It's not as if they don't carry around telephones everywhere they go, so what's the problem?

Just looked him up on Wiki and he played for Tennessee when I was like 10.

Sorry, that instead of studying CB film, I was playing with GI Joes when I was 10.

This is great. I taught at Terry Fair's high school (in Phoenix, Az) when he was a student there. (Never had him in class as I taught 10th grade , and I think he was a junior when I was hired - also never knew him personally as the school was huge - 3500 students.)

Was great when he originally went to play for Tennesse. Also, my wife is from Detroit - so I was happy when he went to the Lions.

I am thrilled to see him come back to the TN Football program in any capacity.
