Thought yall might get a chuckle out of this. Some fond memories here especially the Mike Leech "Fat Little Girlfriends" comment. I was all for Currie bringing him to Knoxville. I believe with our resources Leech could have won a championship. I really miss The Pirate.

Along this topic...have we ever had a Tennessee coach have a meltdown.like these?

I know we've had one or two wander out and ramble on in press conferences...yah, we're looking at you Rommel Dooley.
But can't recall a UT coach ever going nuts like this...maybe Pruitts infamous white board kick?

I wouldn't exactly call it a meltdown but Dooleys showering thing was just embarrassing

Also not really a meltdown, but Botch falling to the ground after the Hail Mary at Georgia. What happened was things went the way they were drawn up and Jennings was a dog. No need for theatrics.

Botch telling the fans to “F off” will be how I remember his time here.

College coaching meltdowns don't hold a candle to the top NFL coaching meltdowns. Jim Mora and Dennis Green, for example, had some epic moments.

These are examples of what a professional coaching meltdown looks like. Jim Mora was my favorite.



Dang. If you click through to the Youtube link, the video does play, and it’s hilarious.

I remember the Dennis Green press conference well. I’ve always liked that one. Of course the Jim Mora “playoffs” quote is another classic. Bill Parcells was usually entertaining to listen to as well.

Butch Jones was generally embarrassing to listen too. He had so many cliches and repeated phrases that he used, “Brick by Brick”, “Champions of Life”, etc. Dooley was obviously in over his head from the beginning, and Pruitt was a moron from Alabama.

This wasn’t really a meltdown, but do you all remember the LSU-Texas A&M game a few years ago that went into an insane number of overtimes and was one of the drivers for the current rules? Well it looked like LSU was going to win late and Orgeron got a Gatorade dousing. However, A&M tied the game and Orgeron stood there soaked in red Gatorade for an eternity and LSU ended up losing.

As I recall from reading his lips, he said "eff'em" as he was stomping down the field, but either way I agree that that's one of the moments I've never forgotten about him. Telling off the fans, doing that little "General Neyland" kneeldown during some game or another - which I still think to this day was something he practiced after seeing the statue, losing his mind when the Jennings caught the pass, and of course, kicking that field goal from the 1 foot line against Oklahoma ... always seemed more preoccupied with how he looked and came across, than how he did. Was all about his appearance and image. And of course the cigar photos. Oh and failing to do anything with Alvin Kamara. Actually, you know what, aside from the Battle at Bristol and the Dobbs throw it's mostly a trail of miserable memories.

Unpopular take, but he didn't fail with Kamara. There is no game in the 2015 or 2016 season in the 8 losses that you could point to that was won or lost on who was lined up in the backfield.

Hurd was contributing well. You can argue that Kamara should have gotten more touches, but it wasn't like we were playing some non producing back in his place.

Watching it I always felt like he got excited and injured his knee doing a little 2 inch vertical jump. Then tried to play it off. I'm probably wrong, but wouldn’t be surprised.
