Although at the time, I hated him with the “Heat of a Thousand Suns”…I now have the upmost respect and reverence for the man.
Heisman Trophy winner turned head coach. Won a Natty…played for two of ‘em…won the SEC Championship 6 times.
Ran the score up like a pinball machine on the regular. His defense of this practice : “If you don’t want us to score, you might wanna do a better job of trying to stop us”
Wasn’t self deprecating nor fond of being respectful of opponents & their coaches. The guy that while simultaneously OWNING his opponents and making runs at championships would taunt his fellow SEC programs by saying things like: “You can’t spell Citrus (Bowl) without U.T.”
It wasn’t the entire reason SEC football was “Cooler”…but it was A LOT more “Colorful”because of him.
