Anyone my age or anyone who likes old school football should check this out. And Neyland was absolutely a bad ass! Now, I despise the vil’s but it’s hard not to find something to like about Neyland. Even though Bobby Dodd played for him, he didn’t much care for him. Dodd did always did give him credit for how he organized his teams. Many, many coaches including Coach Bryant utilized organizational strategies they borrowed from General Neyland. I guess the military background helped in that regard!
