Graham, who played for the Vols from 1993 to 1996, is currently the special teams coordinator and tight ends coach of the Alabama Crimson Tide. Tuesday evening, he touted the arrival of elite 2021 athlete Ga’Quincy “Kool-Aid” McKinstry to the program with a graphic about Bama being unbeatable. That by itself was fine, as he works for Alabama now.
However, Graham decided to take his trolling to another level. A reply to the tweet simply said “5,232 days,” which was a blatant reference to the number of days it had been as of that day since Tennessee football beat Alabama The Vols are currently on a 14-game losing streak to the Tide. Graham thought it would be cute to respond with the phrase “Ago And Counting.”
Okay, let’s unpack this. Graham has never been a part of any Nick Saban staff. In fact, he hasn’t spent one second at Alabama during this 14-game winning streak over the Vols. In what universe does he get the right to troll Rocky Top for its losing streak?
To make matters even worse, Graham has been a part of the Vols’ losing streak. Don’t forget he spent this past year on Jeremy Pruitt’s staff as Tennessee football’s running backs coach. That was his second one-year stint in that role with UT. His first was in 2012 on Derek Dooley’s staff. The Vols got blown out by Alabama both years.
So Graham is trolling the Vols for a losing streak he contributed to, and he’s touting the Tide for a winning streak he has nothing to do with. That’s just embarrassing. We should also note that each of his stints in Knoxville was the final year for a head coach before he got fired.
