I'm biased because I'm from West Tennessee, but we have the best catfish in the South. As mentioned earlier, I highly recommend Blue Bank at Reelfoot Lake. Also, their okra is AMAZING.

I need to find someplace around Knoxville that serves good catfish. I went to a holiday buffet at Calhouns in Lenoir City and the catfish was stupid good, big white flaky chunks. Then I go to a different Calhouns and order the catfish because I think it is going to be good and it sucked, thin greasy mushy. There is no in between on catfish.

Used to make occasional trips to Catfish Kitchen near Dickson/Montgomery Bell State Park on HWY 70. Haven't been in a while and have hear mixed reviews.

I went to Granny's between Shelbyville and Tullahoma last year and they no longer have their own ponds but buy from a large food distributor. Food was good but I'm not going to make a special trip for it.

The resurrected Uncle Buds that popped up in Franklin and Cool Springs a couple of years ago was, IMO, very disappointing.

If I really want catfish in Nashville, I go to Sportsman's Grill. It's decent enough.

Catfish Kitchen is good stuff.

I've never understood the Gruden love. Dude hasn't coached in 8 years or something. He hasn't coached college in like two decades. As a coach, he hated coaching young players. He ran the Bucs into the ground. He won his Super Bowl entirely on an amazing defenses while his offenses sucked despite his reputation as an offensive coach. He has an annoying voice and a weird face. That last bit is probably irrelevant but still. Just don't get it.

Oh, I don't know, how about he would be able to absolutely kill it in recruiting? How many of those 4 and 5 stars everyone keeps saying you must have to succeed, would want to play for him?
If you get the best players, you would have to be a bad coach not to produce at a high level and probably even you would not say he is a bad coach..

If gruden wanted to come here and Hart didn't hire him, he should've been fired immediately along with the other idiots that didn't want gruden. Dave harts an idiot and horrible ad. The "LADY" Vols program is in shames, hell all ut sports programs are not very good and what has he done, he got lucky and the football is somewhat stable. bball, baseball, lady vols are bad and why, I'll never know, was lady dropped from women's programs, dumbest thing ever. He can't make a decision without dragging it out for days and weeks, he has no backbone and if Blackburn isn't hired, it's gonna be awesome before the ut sports programs as a whole make a comeback. LEADERSHIP at TENNESSEE is currently an embarrassment

Sprig, this is exactly why Blackburn will be our next AD. If Butch doesn't elevate, we'll not settle for a lesser name.

While I have no doubt that he was turned off by micro management, coaches at public universities are subject to open records requests. Therefore, any school issued phones would fall under this. Not sure that has much to do with micro management. Just a thought.

I have only spoken to him once. Might see him again in 2017. The level of surveillance turned him off according to my source which is Jon Gruden.

Even still, the Bucs went into serious decline after he left. Allen was a terrible GM and the Bucs did a terrible job in the draft. Finally they woke up and drafted a great QB and followed it up with free agency and draft of secondary.
