If your just talking football,,
Neyland, Manning, Atkins, Majors, White, Berry, Wilson,

If your talking all sports then you could add, Ray Mears, Bruce Pearl, Pat, Todd Helton, Holdsclaw, Candace Parker, Bernard King, Ernie Grunfield and other sports figures from basketball, track/field, swimming, golf, tennis, so this list could get HUGE..... :loco:

Eric Berry has shown recently that he doesn't belong in any group of respectable men.

It's hilarious some would put Eric Berry on UT's "Mt Rushmore"

Neyland
Majors
Ward
Summitt

And the poster was right about Atkins over White. As good as White was in the NFL, Atkins would mop the floor up with him

Ok you guys have convinced me on Atkins over White

I've changed mine to Neyland, Atkins, Manning, AWilson

still think Wilson isnt getting near enough love - we've won 1 AP national title in the last 61 years - AWilson was unquestionably the heart and soul of that team and your not putting him on the mountain - crazy talk

to me we start with Neyland and Al Wilson and then argue about the other 2 spots

Not one vote for coach Pearl?

I loved Coach Pearl, I was really disappointed to see him leave. That said, I would take Chris Lofton before Bruce, and I still don't think either goes on the monument.

Neyland, Summt, Atkins, Manning for me.

If Eric Berry had stayed for his Senior year I might consider putting him on there.

I'd also consider Fulmer over Manning because Phil has a ring but Manning has been a better public representative of the University in my opinion, which is also why I would keep Reggie White off.

Eric Berry? On a Mt. Rushmore of UT football, no way. He's great, just not that great.

Atkins- SEC player of the Quarter Century from 50-74!
Neyland- One of all-time greats
Manning- Modern Greatness!
Majors- Great player and head coach for UT

I gave majors the nod over Cafego only because Majors was a head coach. It was close in my book.

How is Eric Berry not great, he was just the best DB to ever put on the orange. And he only played three years
