Times They Are A Changin'

That article referenced Walt Harris. Therefore, I feel fully justified in pointing out that it was he who was solely responsible for the tragedy that befell during my first UT game. 1990, second game against Pacific. Harris obviously told his players that the only chance they had was to tear Chuck Webb's ACL. And they successfully did that during the first quarter. Damn him! On the other hand, he really was a class act for TN during his entire tenure. Apparently he was also responsible for creating the offense that we ran for the subsequent twenty years after he left.

I was at that Pacific game and I still can't believe that Webb walked off that field after the injury that he sustained.

He'd be great at it. However, I couldn't imagine a 60 year old man returning to the school where he was previously the OC to be the QB coach under someone who's the same age as his children. That'd be the ultimate slap in the face...yes, even worse than what happened at Stanford.

True, but he is 62 and out of work and claims he isn't retired and wants to return to coaching. AD's aren't exactly knocking down his door for head coaching jobs and from what I know about him he wasn't that great of play caller to begin with, QB coach could be the perfect fit for him to continue his coaching career.

I didn't know how old he was, I just remembered that he was about the same age as my dad. More of an estimate than anything. There might be some validity to what you're saying, especially since he really is getting up there in age. Hell, we were all complaining about Davis being too old at 57 or something. I still think OC at a major or HC at a midmajor would be more along the lines of what he's looking for, but if he's looking for a town that's comfortable and someplace to retire in several years, East Tennessee would be perfect.
