Pretty much inherited a great situation and just coasted. Horrendous coach.


Here is a summary of the era. LINK

quote:

when the Vols struggled and played lazy, nonexistent defense with seemingly no instruction to do otherwise from the bench, the fans got very frustrated and very vocal. The university paid for orange t-shirts for all the students for the three game home stretch that said "NOT IN OUR HOUSE!", in reference to the aforementioned undefeated streak at home. And I think mine is still in a trash can somewhere in Thompson-Boling.

How did Jerry Green respond to all this newfound criticism and poor play from his team? He went on the radio and said if Tennessee fans didn't like it, they could go to K-Mart instead.


This sums it up though.

That doesn't say much with the way your fan base went full retard over the Kiffin and Jones hires.

Not a good judge of coaches, also wanted Dooley and Martin fired before they had a chance to turn things around.
