If he would have left in 2001 every Vol fan would have gone into mourning. Lets face it, he was a top 5 coach in 2001.

He's probably banked around $20 million in the past 10 years. I pray that I make a lot of wrong decisions like that.

Should've gone with the feeling.

with all due respect, VOLNBAMA, you seem like a HUGE pessimist

There's something to be said for going out on a high note and I encourage people to do it. That said, $20 million is a nice sum of money to live, hunt, and fish with for the rest of your life. I think I could make a go of it with that kind of mula.

Its human nature to "not" call it quits after season like that or anything else in life.If it was we'd never aspire to to do great things. Right?

Yea we had to play in the Citrus bowl, and Florida robbed us of an Orange Bowl trip.
