Dan Fleser: A Sobering Reminder Of The Coaches Who Sullied UT Football
Tuesday, May 11, 2021 - by Dan Fleser
I woke up Monday morning to an interesting reminder of the full scope of Tennessee football recently.
The Sports Animal, a Knoxville radio station devoted to sports talk programming, was conducting a match-game segment during its morning show. The show’s producers were charged with pairing recent Vols football coaches with things they did.
There was no SEC championship to match with the right coach. There was no victory over Alabama to properly credit.
Instead, there were bucket helmets and shower discipline to align correctly. Take a bow Derek Dooley. There also was a list of the reporters who asked tough questions to be placed in some coach’s back pocket. That fit Butch Jones.
