He may be a piece of shite as a human being, but he wasn't a half bad governor by southern standards.

Tennessee has mostly good governors lately.

By what standard? What things did he do to make the State better?

He was neither. He was simply irrelevant.
He utterly and completely lacked any leadership skill and thus everyone from the legislature on down simply ignored him. His party had a supermajority in the legislature and yet he often had trouble finding sponsors for his bills.
Contrast that with Riley, who had a legislature controlled by the other party and yet got things done or Siegleman, who spent most of his term under federal investigation and still got things done.
He was just a sad old man who, through a combination of luck and a secret pact with AEA, found himself in a position well beyond his ability level. Sadly for him and the state, rather than realizing it, he started believing he was something more than the back row legislator he'd been his whole life and tried to be a player.
