I have been quietly watching, reading and waiting to see who the next coach for the Vols football program will be. My husband’s pick seems to be leaning towards Butch Davis of North Carolina. Seems he is on the top of the speculation list and is in deny, deny, deny mode. I’d like to see a coach who isn’t afraid to be a coach. I’m tired of the political correctness crap. You can’t be everybody’s friend, you can be tough, yet fair. The next coach needs to help reverse the trend of men being soft – it’s time for the Tennessee men to be men and stop being puds*.

*From the Rick & Bubba Dictionary:
Puddin’ (or Pud): Wimp or sissy.

I’d like to share a local story about an extraordinary young man of character – Blake Burgess Center for the Vestavia Hills Rebels.
