Dude should have won an national title at Kentucky.
Ken-freakin'-tucky.
If he had been able to beat Neyland, he may have. Kentucky was up to #3 when they lost to #9 Tennessee. The following week, #2 Army lost to Navy.
Kentucky went on to beat #1 Oklahoma in the Sugar Bowl.

That was the era of the pre-bowl titles. Oklahoma had already won it.
Hence the "should have" part, and of course nothing to belittle the accomplishments of Tennessee that year. They were both great teams and the game between them was close.
Just that he at least could have pointed to having an identical record to the team that won, and having a win over said team that won it. That's all.
