Mark Richt discusses Tennessee feeling like they got it going on under Josh Heupel

I remember him well. A great coach and a "man's man".

Incidentally, he looks like a bald Ed Orgeron...

See the blood on his shirt and head.

With better diction and principles.

Erk's letter to his 1980 D.

View attachment 433402

Two things stand out on this letter:

"Gentlement: (and Linemen)"

"This is the Game Plan. We have no alternate plan."

Always admired Erk Russell. He was quite an athlete himself. 10 varsity letters and the last four sport letterman at Auburn: football, basketball, baseball and track.

He took Georgia Southern from club team to national champs in (I think) two years (with almost no budget).

Yep. I remember the Hambone offense with Tracy Ham as QB.

Tracy Ham. Remember well.

We should have hired him to replace Dooley, but he wouldn't agree to the number of years required.

He would have been fantastic here. Well, he would have been fantastic anywhere.

Just going on my own perception based upon what little I saw...if he was a jerk, I'll take your word for it.

I got to meet Dooley after he left us. He could have told me to F off, but instead we had a nice chat.
