I still really don't believe that he can be evaluated as a head coach. He took over in one of the worst stretches of TN football. The guy walked into a very tough up hill battle situation. If he were to take over a talent rich bama team people may have seen him as the best coach ever. Not saying he is, just that we may never know. I am one that felt he needed to be fired as well. But just felt like even Nick Saban wouldn't have done much better with our roster.
?? You don't think guys have walked into bad situations before at UT over the course of 100 years or so? Yet he was the ONLY coach in our school's history to ever.... ever, post 3 consecutive losing seasons. He was a losing coach before he came to UT, he was a losing coach at UT, he'll be a losing coach if he ever gets a head coaching gig again after UT.
