Who's your coach?

John Gruden
I just followed football in general but when the Vols started another coaching search, I started reading Volnation to watch all the speculation. I just started laughing and reading more about tracking planes and the post about Gruden. I got hooked on following all the crazy posts on Volnation ever since and enjoying watching the Vols.

My coach is the General. Robert Reese Neyland.

No, I'm not that old.

But you spend enough time reading up on the Vols, learning our history, and you come to feel like you know the man.

He stands like the Colossus of Rhodes over our program. He defined our program, and we're still living within that definition.

So yeah, he's my #1 coach. Love a lot of them, but he's at the top.

Here's hoping Josh Heupel spends the next 35 years climbing up to stand beside the General at the pinnacle of Tennessee football.

Go Vols!

lol okay.

Probably Doug Dickey or Bill Battle. When I first became aware as a Vols fan, I was more focused on the players than the coaches. So it could've been either.

I inherited Vol fandom from birth, when Bowden Wyatt was head coach, but I don't remember him at all.

But really...Neyland. It's Neyland. It has always been Neyland, and--unless Josh is beyond astounding--will always be Neyland.

Go Vols!

Battle was the coach in 72 when my cousin who went to UT brought her boyfriend to a family Christmas dinner. All he talked about was Tennessee football. We played some backyard football and I became interested.

It wasn't until about 10 years later that I got hooked in 1981. Johnny was coach. I consider that the time I actually became a a certified fan.

Just think, if you'd been born in Bama or Georgia, YOU would have been the person dating your cousin, so you'd never have met her boyfriend, and you'd never have become a Vols fan.

Thank goodness for small miracles.

Go Vols!
