What Dooley walked into, and inherited dwarfs what jones did. For half the price too.

And delivered half the victories.

In 2009 under Kiffin Alabama failed to score a TD on the Vols. Dooley's situation wasn't that dire.

---

Nor has any Gator coach - or any coach - reeled off a skein of victories like Bob Neyland did at Tennessee - 61-2-5.

snicker. Reliving the glory of the white bread years of the 1930s. I think Neyland was even born in the 1800s.

No. In other words it's kind of sad that your glory years were 70 to 90 years ago, back when some of the best players couldn't even attend your school.

As previously noted, since integration Tennessee is 5th in winning pct and 6th in number of titles among SEC teams. In other words, a has been.

Tennessee won 100 games during the '90s. And also won more games than any college between 1924 and 2005.

What you really mean is that when the players were really students and mostly from the area around the school, Coach Neyland was 61-2-5 in his first seven years.

Wrong answer. Even though some ncaa suits decided that Alabama should forfeit or vacate 31 victories on the field, Alabama still won as many.

As many? Exactly as many? Bammer won zero games one year. Tennessee has never failed to win at least 4 games every year since 1925.


Bammer:
1956 SEC 2 7 1
1955 SEC 0 10


Bammer was 3-8 in 2000.

Bammer was 4-9 in 2003.

Tennessee has never lost 8 games in a season.

September 2005:

"Despite each program’s standing among the nation’s elite, Tennessee and Oklahoma have met only twice, with both games taking place at the Orange Bowl in Miami, Fla. The Vols shut out the Sooners 17-0 in the 1939 Orange Bowl (UT’s second bowl game ever).
Then in the 1968 Orange Bowl, Oklahoma posted a 26-24 victory to even the all-time series at 1-1.
Since legendary head coach Gen. Robert R. Neyland coached his first team at Tennessee in 1926, the Vols have won more games (618) than any other school in the country. Oklahoma ranks third nationally with 602 wins since 1926."

And 31 forfeits and vacated games?

I would rather have our record than your record.

Rolled back: Tide below .500 for 2000s


June 16th, 2009 by David Paschall in Sports

Alabama's football team has the talent, the coaching and a favorable schedule to win at least nine games this season.

Anything short of nine wins will give the Crimson Tide a losing decade.

As a result of NCAA sanctions announced last week that requires Alabama to vacate 21 of its 23 victories during the 2005-07 seasons, the Crimson Tide soon will be saddled with a 44-48 record for the 2000s. The university has until June 26 to decide whether it will appeal the ruling, which will change Alabama's 10-2, 6-7 and 7-6 records to 0-2, 0-7 and 2-6.

"It's still better than Vanderbilt," said Roger Shultz, who played center for the Crimson Tide from 1987 to '90.

Framed over the past six seasons, it's not. The Tide would have 24 recognized wins since 2003, which would trail the Commodores by one.

The NCAA deemed seven football players and 15 other student-athletes as "intentional wrongdoers" after they racked up almost $22,000 worth of textbooks through their financial aid and provided them to friends. There were no scholarship reductions, leaving Nick Saban's program loaded for the near future after last season's 12-2 surge, but the vacancies have dented the record books and all but rendered this a lost decade.

Even before last week's verdict, the Crimson Tide had suffered a 3-8 collapse during Mike DuBose's finale in 2000, a 4-9 debacle during Mike Shula's debut in '03 and an inexplicable loss to Louisiana-Monroe in '07. Alabama is 2-7 this decade against Auburn, 2-7 against LSU and 3-5 against Tennessee now that the 6-3 win over the Vols at Bryant-Denny Stadium in 2005 will be vacated."

...Galloway was a team captain for the '02 Tide, who won 10 games but were on probation and banned from playing in a bowl game. Alabama has been on probation more than half the seasons since 1993, when it had to forfeit eight victories and a tie against Tennessee for using an ineligible player (cornerback Antonio Langham)."
