Tennessee has a storied tradition of great players and great teams. I am very excited about the opportunity we have here, and I hope you are too. Since becoming part of the Tennessee family in December, I have been amazed at the energy and enthusiasm of our fans. I can’t wait to experience having more than 100,000 of you cheering our team on at one of the greatest venues in college football during our eight home games this fall. When I took this job, I set out to hire the best coaches in America, and I think we have assembled a group of coaches that are unrivaled anywhere in the country. As a staff, we have a total of 35 years NFL coaching experience, 118 years of collegiate coaching experience, 84 years of coaching experience at BCS conference schools and 32 years of coaching experience in the SEC. Those involved in our program have won 13 national titles, 36 conference titles and 48 bowl games, not to mention a Super Bowl. My staff and I are committed to recruiting the best student-athletes in the country to build on UT’s outstanding history. Our first recruiting class ranked in the top 10 nationally and included the No. 1 rated player in the nation. We continue to work tirelessly at bringing the top players to Knoxville. We want the 2009 team and all of our future teams to be disciplined and accountable in all areas of life. Our progress can already be seen in the way our players are handling their workouts and the level of dedication they are bringing to putting Tennessee football back on top. On the academic front, the football team had its highest GPA in four years last semester. The student-athletes are continuing that hard work in the classroom and dedicating themselves to their responsibilities as the season approaches. As a coaching staff, we hope to instill in our guys a standard of excellence in their work on and off the field. We are committed to putting this program back among the national elite, and we are dedicated to developing these young men into the best players and adults they can be. I appreciate the welcome you have given us, and I hope you will come out and support your team this fall.
Go Vols!

AT FULL
STRENGTH
Tennessee’s strength and conditioning program utilizes a 17,000 square foot facility and more than 50,000 pounds of weights.
The UT program stresses Olympic lifts and free weight exercises, all done at fast pace to simulate practice tempo. Workout groups always consist of fewer than 20 players and are directly supervised by a coach so that every rep counts.
The Vols’ football program is headed by former Volunteer track and field standout Aaron Ausmus with the assistance of Harry Galbreath, Steve Gortmaker and Dan Hamilton. Ausmus has more than 10 years of experience in college football strength and conditioning and was an integral part of Southern California’s 2003 AP National Championship. He has coached previously at Tennessee, USC, Idaho, Mississippi and North Texas. He has trained numerous NFL players including Carson Palmer, Reggie Bush, Matt Leinart, Troy Polamalu and LenDale White.
Galbreath is a former All-America offensive lineman for the Vols who played nine seasons in the NFL. He has worked closely with New England Patriots linebacker Jerod Mayo and 2009 first-round draft pick Robert Ayers. Steve Gortmaker comes to the Vols after four seasons at South Carolina, with prior stops in his 10-year career at Oklahoma, Western Kentucky and Kansas. He played defensive back for the Sooners from 1995-98.
Dan Hamilton is in his fourth season at Tennessee and has coached Mayo and Ayers as well as 11 other current NFL players.

VOLUNTEERING IN THE The Tennessee football program has a long-standing tradition of giving back to the Knoxville community that has supported it so strongly over the years. The community service projects are not required of the athletes, but they have always been interested in participating. The players earn the right to go into the community through their actions on the field, in the classroom and on campus.
Tennessee football’s community service initiatives last season included: • Visiting the East Tennessee Children’s Hospital
• Assisting with the construction of a Habitat for Humanity home • Traveling to local elementary schools to read to children
• Hosting an April Play Day for kids at Thompson Boling-Arena • Volunteering at local animal shelters.

IN THE PLAYMAKERS
HANDS Lane Kiffin
Head coach Lane Kiffin, regarded as one of the brightest young offensive minds in football, brings his pro-style attack to Knoxville under the guidance of offensive coordinator Jim Chaney, architect of one of the most prolific offenses in the NCAA at Purdue from 1997-2005.
The UT offense under Kiffin will be tailored to the strengths of personnel recruited to Rocky Top and specialize in getting the best skill players the football as often as possible. Kiffin has a track record of doing so, as in both 2005 and 2006 his offenses featured either two 1,000-yard rushers or two 1,000-yard receivers along with a 3,000 yard passer. Success will not be sought solely through the air, as Kiffin and Chaney, a former NFL offensive line coach, will stress physicality in the run game over everything else.
The Tennessee offense will also vary from week to week with the intention of exploiting the weaknesses of the opponent, meaning there will be opportunities every Saturday for a different Vol to step up. 30

ACCOUNTABILITY AND PURSUIT
Tennessee defensive coordinator Monte Kiffin, perhaps the greatest defensive mind in football and one of the most widely-respected teachers at any level, now dresses his famed Tampa 2 defense in Big Orange. Kiffin’s system is designed with simplicity in mind, so it can be learned and applied by new players as quickly as possible.
The Super Bowl winner stresses three things to players about his defense: Be Accountable, Pursue the Football, and Play Fast.
During Kiffin’s Super Bowl season in 2002, his defense led the NFL in total defense, points allowed and interceptions, becoming the first defense in 17 seasons to accomplish that feat.
A veteran of more than 40 years in coaching, Kiffin still expects his charges to have fun. He suggests his defenders “think less and just play.”

TEMPO, FIELD POSITION
Special teams coach Eddie Gran, one of the best in the profession at his craft, stresses four goals for his special teams combatants: Set the Tempo, Control Field Position, Control Momentum, Score Points. The Vols utilize an attack-oriented special teams game plan that aims to score touchdowns, breaks games open, utilize fakes and provide good field position for the offense and defense.
Tennessee will use its best players for special teams, eliminate mistakes and stress fundamentals while maintaining intensity.
The Vols will outwork, outsmart and intimidate in special teams situations.

2009 Begins Lane Kiffin Era
Tennessee fans waste no time sizing up their coaches, rendering preliminary judgment on the mentors long before they have sent their first squad into the heat of battle. Lane Kiffin was no exception. From the moment he took a few good-natured jabs at some of his Southeastern Conference coaching rivals, he was the people's choice in Big Orange Country. They were captivated by his feistiness, his light-hearted banter and, perhaps most of all, by his choice of sparring partners. Kiffin’s restructuring project achieved a milestone when more than 51,000 showed up for the spring Orange and White game at Neyland Stadium, which, like the football team, was also undergoing renovation. As the succession of Big Orange Caravan trips spread the hopeful message of Kiffin and his estimable staff, the enthusiastic reception coaches encountered reaffirmed athletic director Mike Hamilton's choice as Tennessee's 21st head coach. Now the fun part begins. We are all excitedly awaiting the identity of the Vols who will take the field to start the season opener Sept. 5 against Western Kentucky. As you may recall, Kiffin went into spring practice labeling all but one position wide open. He had awarded a job only to defensive ace Eric Berry. Nearing the start of fall camp, the head coach was still declaring most spots unfilled, awaiting August competition. As committed as the new staff is toward its rejuvenation goal, questions remain. One thing fans need not concern themselves with, though, is the age of the head coach, 34, making him the youngest man to head a football program on the major college level.
Eric Berry
The granddaddy of all things Tennessee, Gen. Bob Neyland, was still green when he was handed the Vols' reins at the same age as Kiffin in 1926. Nobody ever suggested Neyland proved too young for the job. So here we go again, kicking off another season we hope will enrich the proud history of University of Tennessee football. This fact-packed yearbook, meticulously assembled by Bud Ford, John Painter, Tony Williams and the able sports information staff, should bring you up to snuff on the players, coaches, records and traditions that comprise Vol football. Go get 'em, Lane Kiffin. Haywood Harris Tennessee Vols Historian Brandon Warren 2009 VOLUNTEERS FOOTBALL

OFFENSE
QUARTERBACK
A situation in which the two top quarterbacks from the previous year return sounds made to order for a banner offensive year. But realization that neither had taken command of the position by season's end casts a less optimistic view of the picture. At one time or another both Jonathan Crompton and Nick Stephens seemed like the man for the job, but the Vols' final 5-7 worksheet left the situation very much up in the air. New Tennessee head coach Lane Kiffin and his staff indicated that determining the 2009 starter is a work in progress without an expected date for resolution. Crompton, a senior who started six games, finished with 86 completions in 167 attempts for 889 yards and four touchdowns. Stephens started the remaining games and had these statistics at the end of the season: 63-for-130, 840 yards and four touchdowns.

TAILBACK
Arian Foster spent too much of his senior season sidelined to apply the closing drive that would have made him Tennessee's all-time leading rusher. His departure has opened an opportunity for one of two returnees from 2008 action to take over principal ground-gaining responsibilities in the offense. When Foster was out in 2008, Montario Hardesty, Lennon Creer and Tauren Poole generally carried the ball. Creer opted to leave the team in April. Hardesty, a powerful senior with a straight-ahead running style, picked up 271 yards on 76 carries last season, and Poole, who will be a sophomore, ground out 86 yards on 22 tries. The two returnees battled throughout spring practice with January-enrollee Toney Williams,
each hoping to gain an edge. Little will be known about what the future holds at running back until fall drills signal the assembly of a full cast of job-seekers, including some highly-touted incoming freshmen.
FULLBACK
Fullback was a position once renowned at Tennessee for power running. Nowadays, it's a pass here, a run there, but mostly blocking. Fullback returnee Kevin Cooper, a junior who started all but one game last year, had seven catches for 42 yards and ran five times for 10 yards. The rest of the time, he was dispatched on blocking missions, responsibilities he will share this year with sophomore Austin Johnson, who earned a letter last season.
WIDE RECEIVER
Right off the bat, Lane Kiffin shifted tight end returnee Brandon Warren to wide receiver to help give substance to the position that includes Gerald Jones and Austin Rogers. The explosive Jones caught 30 passes for 323 yards, and Rogers had 14 for 189. Warren (10 catches for 85 yards at tight end) and Denarius Moore (11 for 271) will join Jones and Rodgers in providing experience. There is some serious rebuilding ahead among the wideouts, a group that at one time was so prodigious that the media with good cause dubbed
Luke Stocker
An abundance of talent at tight end is so well established that the Tennessee coaches felt free to switch two players away from the position to fill obvious needs.
Tennessee Wide Receiver U. One athlete who the coaches believe can take steps in that direction is Quinton Hancock, who was elected the most improved offensive player during spring drills. A group of three incoming Vols could also earn their way into the playing rotation in the fall.
TIGHT END
An abundance of talent at tight end is so well established that the Tennessee coaches felt free to switch two players away from the position to fill obvious needs. Junior Brandon Warren moved to wide receiver and Aaron Douglas switched to tackle. When the lanky and powerful Luke Stocker lunges extra inches to keep the ball in Tennessee's hands on third down, the importance of his receiving ability becomes clear. A two-year letterman, Stocker ranked sixth on the team last year in total receptions with 13 for 139 yards. Jeff Cottam, battling injuries throughout the spring, will surely contribute in the fall, while Ben Bartholomew, a fullback transfer, will learn the position and look to provide depth as the season progresses. All three Vols realize that when push comes to shove, their defining duty is to clear
defensive tackle. Those departures leave just two others with experience at end: Ben Martin, a two-year letterman, and Chris Walker, Martin's fellow junior. Walker was named the most improved defensive player in spring drills and was described as “unblockable” on multiple occasions by the coaching staff. Others vying for playing time include Willie Bohannon, Steven Fowlkes and junior college transfer Rae Sykes. UT’s searches for defensive ends frequently begin on shaky ground but almost always wind up with happy endings. Dan Williams

DEFENSIVE END
The Vols have been so formidable at defensive end that it's almost considered a given that the same will apply in 2009.

REVIEW
This fall, with veteran center Josh McNeil and mature signal-callers on hand, the center-quarterback snap should be exactly that – a snap. That is, of course, unless walk-on Cody Sullins takes the starting job from the three-year starter. The two exited spring practice bracketed on the depth chart, and Sullins earned the start in the annual spring game. McNeil started every game last season and knows what to do, a talent that is celebrated by quarterbacks Jonathan Crompton and Nick Stephens. Sullins has come on strong, though, and the coaches consider both options more than viable entering fall camp.
The Tennessee coaches are trying to assemble an offensive line with the speed and agility to carry the run game and enough staying power for the quarterback to remain upright. Chris Scott is a 2008 returnee, one of three regulars from last year's team hoping to call on their experience to enhance their value in Lane Kiffin's first year at the UT controls. Scott was in the opening lineup for every game last season, UCLA through Kentucky. Depth at the tackle position was strengthened by the decision to move Aaron Douglas over from tight end. He now is in competition with Jarrod Shaw for a starting job on the right side of the line. Filling out the roster at tackle are sophomore William Brimfield and redshirt freshman Dallas Thomas. Further reinforcements could come from two offensive linemen in the enrolling class of newcomers.

Vladimir Richard
Vladimir Richard moved into the starting contingent at left guard midway through the 2008 season. He held onto the firstteam job the rest of the season and in spring practice gained the confidence of the first-year Vols coaching staff. Although Jacques McClendon started only the first six games in 2008, his return gives the Vols a pair of guards who know what it takes to be a starter. From their vast experience in the trenches, Richard and McClendon give the Vols a leg up on opponents dealing with less seasoned personnel. Also in the mix at guard are sophomore Cody Pope, junior letterman Jarrod Shaw, and Cory Sullins, a senior walk-on and letterman who could earn playing time on the left side.

LINEBACKER

The return of Rico McCoy assures Tennessee strong representation at one of the linebacker slots, a position group weakened by the loss of two starters from 2008 in Ellix Wilson and Nevin McKenzie. McCoy, a seasoned defensive star, opened every game at weak linebacker in 2008 and ranked as the team's No. 2 tackler with 87 tackles, 3 1/2 for lost yardage and one sack. McCoy could be the heartbeat of a defense that scored well statistically last season but suffered the fate of being part of a 5-7 football team. At the other positions, the coaches are trying to develop players who can start or serve as backups. Junior Nick Reveiz, who has demonstrated a flair for mayhem in a kickcoverage role in the past, made a strong bid to start during the spring, as did tackle specialist LaMarcus Thompson, also a junior. Others competing at linebacker include junior Savion Frazier, sophomores Chris Donald, Josh Hawkins and Daryl Vereen and freshmen Herman Lathers and Nigel Mitchell-Thornton.
CORNERBACK
From the moment he first set foot on the football field, Dennis Rogan has been a key performer for 2009 VOLUNTEERS FOOTBALL
Tennessee. Not only did he bring competence to the kick return game, but he moved into the right cornerback position with telling results. He notched 53 tackles last season, bringing a star element to a secondary that is already heralded mainly because of the presence of Eric Berry at free safety. Finding a replacement for the departed DeAngelo Willingham at the other corner spot will be a primary order of business for the Vols coaching staff this fall. Among the numerous candidates for action will be senior Marsalous Johnson, junior Brent Vinson -- who was a starter in 2007 – and sophomores Anthony Anderson, Art Evans, C.J. Fleming, and Stephaun Raines. Johnson, Evans and Vinson have seen enough action that they will arrive at fall camp as returning lettermen.
Dennis Rogan
SAFETY
One of the most outstanding performers ever to wear the orange, offense or defense, 2009 or any other season, is Eric Berry, destined for Vol immortality after only two seasons. Heading into his junior year as a sure pick for preseason All-America, he already boasts gleaming statistics: 158 tackles (101 primary hits and 57 assists), 10 1/2 tackles for loss, three sacks, three fumble recoveries, 22 passes defensed and 12 interceptions. He was elected Defensive Player of the Year in the SEC by the Associated Press and the league’s coaches. As McCoy can
be the heart and soul of the linebacker corps, Berry already has arrived at that station for overall defense. He is also on course to break school and NCAA records for interceptions and interception return yardage. The departure of Demetrice Morley during spring drills leaves question marks at the other safety spot, with a pair of freshmen, Rod Wilks and Prentiss Waggner, vying for playing time during spring drills.
SPECIALISTS
One of the revered names in Tennessee football, the Colquitt
Eric Berry
family, will not have a representative on the field for the first time since the 2000 season. Britton Colquitt, with his 43.4 yards-per-punt average, has moved on, leaving the punts to Chad Cunningham, who notched 39.5 yards per boot last season in Colquitt's absence. Daniel Lincoln, who connected on 10 of 18 field goal tries last year, returns, hoping to regain the form that made him an All-America his freshman season. Dennis Rogan is on pace to become one of Tennessee’s all-time best kick returners, but the influx of skill-position newcomers may mean that all kick-return positions are up for grabs in fall camp. Rogan averaged 4.8 yards per return on punt returns and 24.9 yards per return on kickoffs last season. Gerald Jones’ averages were 10.0 and 38.3 for punts and kicks, respectively.

HEAD COACH
Lane Kiffin
UNIVERSITY OF TENNESSEE
Head Coach

From his introductory press conference — the day he began “rolling my sleeves up and going to work” — Lane Kiffin’s guiding principle for Tennessee football has kept him mindful of its storied past. And focused squarely on its future. Kiffin, who becomes just the third head coach at UT in the last 33 years, had a plan for Tennessee’s expectations even before he made his arrival in Knoxville. His blueprint for an all-star coaching staff already has come to fruition. And that team of one-time rivals has begun formulating its platform for championship competition not only in the rabid Southeastern Conference but across the nation. "I'm not promising you how many wins, how many championships; I can't do that,” Kiffin said back on Dec. 1, 2008. “But I want the Tennessee family to know this: no one is going to outwork me as a head coach and no one is going to outwork our staff. That's the promise I'm giving you. The wins will come after that. You're going to see it; you're going to feel it throughout the state. It starts today.” Kiffin joins the Vols as the former head coach of the Oakland Raiders and former offensive coordinator at Southern California under head coach Pete Carroll. Kiffin’s turn with Oakland was his first head coaching assignment, and his concepts moving the football paid immediate dividends. The season before Kiffin’s arrival, Oakland was last in the NFL in scoring (10.5), total offense (246.2), yards per play (4.2), touchdown passes (7) and turnover margin (minus-23). The Raiders ranked 31st in passing offense and 29th in rushing. In 2007, Kiffin improved offensive production to 17.7 points per game — an increase of more than a touchdown — and rushing to 130.4 yards per game. The sudden improvement was felt throughout the league. "Coach Kiffin is a perfect fit,” Tennessee Titans head coach Jeff Fisher said. “He brings a wealth of experience he's accumulated at a very young age. He has a brilliant football mind, and there's no doubt in my mind he's going to be successful.” Those ideas were formulated at Fisher’s alma mater, USC, where Kiffin presided over the vaunted offensive system that featured a long, medium and short-range passing game coupled with a power running attack. He began as an assistant from 2001-04, then was promoted to passing game coordinator in 2004 and served as offensive coordinator and recruiting coordinator for 2005 and 2006. USC led the nation in offense in 2005 and in both of his years as recruiting coordinator had the best recruiting classes in the nation. Those efforts, 2009 VOLUNTEERS FOOTBALL
along with his play-calling, structure and offensive design, helped the Trojans to back-to-back national college football championships and produced two Heisman Trophy winners — Matt Leinart in 2004 and Reggie Bush in 2005. “He was the mastermind for our offense, which was very productive at USC,” Bush said of his former coach. “He has a lot of coaching experience. He has a great foundation and I think he’s going to be a great head coach.” Under Kiffin’s leadership in 2006, the Trojans finished first in the Pacific10 Conference in passing efficiency, produced two 1,000-yard receivers and a 3,000-yard passer. In 2005, Kiffin was named one of the nation’s top 25 recruiters and served as coordinator for an offense that ranked in the top six nationally in every offensive category. The Trojans scored 50 points a school-record seven times. Kiffin’s play-calling and offensive design enabled Bush to capture the 2005 Heisman and the Trojans to become the first school to have a 3,500yard passer, a pair of 1,000-yard rushers and a 1,000-yard receiver. In 2004, Kiffin coached on a staff that led Southern California to its second straight national title. He was in charge of a passing attack that helped Leinart win the Heisman with 3,322 yards passing and 33 touchdowns. Kiffin also mentored All-America wide receivers Mike Williams and Dwayne Jarrett, along with such notable USC and NFL pass-catchers as Keary Colbert, Steve Smith and Kareem Kelly. As the recruiting coordinator in 2005-06, Kiffin helped the Trojans land back-to-back No. 1-ranked recruiting classes, both of which helped Southern
Cal to maintain their dominance in the Pac-10 and nationally. The Trojans were a modest 6-6 in 2001, Kiffin’s first year on the staff, but went a remarkable 59-6 over his final five seasons in Los Angeles. That magical run under head coach Pete Carroll resulted in five straight BCS bowl appearances — twice in the BCS National Championship Game. "I have no doubt that Lane will do great things at UT,” Carroll said. “He handled all of our national recruiting at USC and brought us great players during our championship seasons. While serving as our offensive coordinator, we had the best offense in the history of football in 2005." Kiffin, who is 34, was the youngest head coach in modern NFL history and now stands as the youngest head coach in major college football. To help make the transition to Knoxville and the SEC, Kiffin assembled one of the most impressive assistant coaching staff’s in football history. His father, Monte, takes over as Tennessee’s defensive coordinator after 26 brilliant seasons in the NFL, the last 13 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kiffin was the longest tenured defensive coordinator in the NFL and, as developer of the Tampa Cover 2 defense, is generally considered one of the modern era's best defensive minds. “As a coach with a background in offense, it was imperative to find the best defensive coordinator we could,” Lane Kiffin said. “We feel we got the best defensive coach at any level. The addition of Coach Kiffin not only puts us in position to play great defense, but also gives us the ability to sign the best defensive players in the nation if they want to be prepared for the NFL

Six of Tennessee’s nine assistant coaches previously served as recruiting coordinators. Before going to USC, Kiffin was on the staff of Tom Coughlin’s Jacksonville Jaguars in 2000 as a defensive quality control coach under Dom Capers. The season before, Kiffin was a graduate assistant at Colorado State, working with the offensive line. Kiffin played quarterback at Fresno State for three seasons (1994-96), where his position coach was current California head coach Jeff Tedford. Kiffin began his coaching career at his alma mater as a student assistant, working parts of two seasons with quarterbacks, wide receivers and defensive backs. "Lane Kiffin has prepared himself through hard work and preparation and has become one of the brightest minds in football,” Tedford said. “He understands what it takes to reach a championship level and has the passion and work ethic to make it happen." Kiffin takes over the Vols’ helm from Phillip Fulmer, who compiled a 15252 record for Tennessee over 17 seasons that included two SEC crowns and the 1998 BCS national championship.

Ed Orgeron returns to college football as Tennessee's assistant head coach, recruiting coordinator and defensive line coach. The Larose, La., native spent last season as defensive line coach for the New Orleans Saints following more than 20 years in the collegiate game. Included in that tenure was a three-year turn as head coach at Mississippi after successful assistant coaching stops at Miami, Syracuse and Southern California. Vols head coach Lane Kiffin and Orgeron were assistant coaches together under USC head coach Pete Carroll from 2001-04. "When Lane was mentioned as a possibility for being the head coach at UT, there was no doubt in my mind that I wanted to join him,” Orgeron said. “When he got the best defensive coordinator in the history of college football to join him in Monte Kiffin, I knew this was a place that I wanted to come.” Orgeron long has been regarded as a premier defensive line coach and recruiter. He stockpiled talent during his three seasons at Ole Miss after playing a key role in the Trojans winning national championships in 2003 and 2004. Orgeron joined the USC staff in January 1998, took on the added responsibility of recruiting coordinator for the Trojans in 2001, and was then named assistant head coach in 2003. USC's 2002, 2003 and 2004 recruiting classes were ranked among the nation's top five, with the 2003 and 2004 groups listed by many as No. 1. Orgeron was named the 2004 National Recruiter of the Year by Sporting News and Rivals.com. “It was extremely, extremely important to get Ed Orgeron for two main reasons,” Kiffin said. “No. 1, he's the best defensive line coach in the country, NFL or college.

He then began his coaching career in 1966 at his alma mater under a pair of legends in Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne. Kiffin first helped command the Big Red defense to consecutive national titles in 1970 and 1971. When Osborne became Nebraska's head coach in 1973, Kiffin was named defensive coordinator. Kiffin moved to Arkansas as defensive coordinator under Lou Holtz from 1977-79, including one season as assistant head coach. The Razorbacks led the nation in scoring defense in 1977. Kiffin was head coach at North Carolina State from 1980-82, compiling a 16-17 record that included winning seasons in 1981 and 1982. From there, it was on to the professional ranks, including stops with the Green Bay Packers under Bart Starr in 1983, the Buffalo Bills from 1984-85, the Minnesota Vikings from 1986-89 and the New York Jets in 1990. Kiffin then returned to the Vikings, first in his initial professional role as defensive coordinator in 1991 before spending the 1992-94 seasons as inside linebackers coach. The 1995 campaign as defensive coordinator for the New Orleans Saints was Kiffin's last before moving to Tampa Bay.

HONORS
Monte Kiffin joined Tennessee’s staff as defensive coordinator after 26 seasons in the National Football League, the last 13 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Kiffin was the longest tenured defensive coordinator in the NFL and, as developer of the Tampa Cover 2 defense, is generally considered one of the modern era's best defensive minds. "We feel we got the best defensive coach at any level," head coach Lane Kiffin said. “The addition of Monte Kiffin not only puts us in position to play great defense, but also gives us the ability to sign the best defensive players in the nation if they want to prepare for the NFL every year they are here." Kiffin was a catalyst for Tampa Bay's 2002 Super Bowl championship and coached units that ranked among the NFL's top 10 in both total defense and points allowed in 11 of his 13 Buccaneer seasons. His Super Bowl champion unit became the first since the 1985 Chicago Bears to lead the league in total defense (252.8 ypg), fewest points allowed (196) and total interceptions (31). Kiffin's crew continued its impressive play in the 2002 postseason, allowing just 16 points in victories over San Francisco and Philadelphia, before turning it up a notch in Super Bowl XXXVII. During the Buccaneers' 48-21 win over Oakland, Tampa Bay recorded a Super Bowl-record five interceptions, including three picks that were returned for touchdowns (also a Super Bowl record). Kiffin's charges added five sacks and allowed only 19 total rushing yards in capping one of the most dominating defensive performances in Super Bowl history. Kiffin now returns to the collegiate ranks at Tennessee, where, in fact, he previously considered a position with the Vols under then head coach Johnny Majors. "I was last here in 1983 when I was under consideration for the defensive coordinator's job," Kiffin said. "I chose instead the Green Bay Packers to start my NFL career, but this was an impressive place. Now that I'm back 25 years later, it's bigger and even more amazing than I remember.“ A native of Lexington, Neb., Kiffin was his state's High School Athlete of the Year in 1958. Then after playing collegiately for the Nebraska Cornhuskers from 1959-63 as both an offensive and defensive tackle, Kiffin sat out one season with a knee injury before taking a turn at defensive end for the Winnipeg Blue Bombers of the Canadian Football League.

Jim Chaney arrives in Knoxville as offensive coordinator from the NFL ranks, having spent the past three seasons as assistant coach for the St. Louis Rams. The majority of Chaney’s coaching experience, however, comes from the collegiate ranks. His coaching and recruiting turns at Purdue, Wyoming and Cal State Fullerton made him the perfect fit for head coach Lane KIffin’s all-star coaching lineup. "Jim has been huge for us during this first offseason," Kiffin said. "On the field, he has the ability to oversee the entire offense and can coach all the positions. He’s also an experienced recruiter and relates well to today’s athletes on both the collegiate and professional levels." Chaney spent all three years in St. Louis coaching the offensive line before adding tight ends to his assignment sheet in 2008. During the 2007 campaign, Chaney helped coach an offensive line that led running back Steven Jackson to his third consecutive 1,000-yard season. Now, it’s back to the collegiate level of football players, although Chaney says that shouldn’t matter. “I can’t tell the difference, to be real honest with you. It is amazing to me that at any level of football when you walk out of the locker room, most football players love to play the game. When you love to do something, you are naturally inquisitive. They want to be coached. Our football team here wants to be coached, and it’s been a real satisfying thing.“ Possessing one of college football's best offensive minds, Chaney helped the Boilermakers lead the Big Ten in passing offense five times and total offense three. Purdue was ranked in the top 10 in the nation in total offense in six seasons, including 2000, when the Boilermakers ranked fourth. Quarterback Drew Brees, a second-round draft pick by the San Diego Chargers in 2001, was the NCAA total offense champion in 2000, averaging 349.1 yards per game, and received the Maxwell Award as the nation's outstanding player. Tim Stratton received the inaugural John Mackey Award as the nation's best tight end in 2000. More importantly, the 2000 combination of Chaney and Brees under head coach Joe Tiller led Purdue to its first Big Ten championship and Rose Bowl berth in 33 years. From 1997-2001, Chaney served as recruiting coordinator and helped the Boilermakers sign some of the country's top high school tal2009 VOLUNTEERS FOOTBALL

Eddie Gran’s success coaching the running game and his familiarity with the Southeastern Conference made him a key component for head coach Lane KIffin’s initial Tennessee staff. Gran spent the last 15 seasons as an assistant under Tommy Tuberville, first at Mississippi and then Auburn. Gran coached running backs at both stops and added special teams duties to his Auburn assignment. He coaches running backs and special teams at Tennessee. If he produces the same success in the offensive backfield that he has for the past decade, Vols fans are in for a treat. Seven NFL running backs tutored under Gran at some point in their careers, among them Carnell Williams, Ronnie Brown, Rudi Johnson and Deuce McAllister. Williams was an All-America at Auburn and earned 2005 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, while Brown and McAllister were NFL first-round picks and Johnson earned 2000 SEC Player of the Year. Brown, Johnson and McAllister all have played in the Pro Bowl. Other former Gran-coached professionals who have earned elite status include John Avery, who went from Ole Miss to the NFL to stardom in the Canadian Football League; and Brandon Jacobs, an Auburn Tiger who has compiled back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons with the New York Giants. Under Gran’s guidance, Williams set the Auburn career record for rushing touchdowns and teamed with Brown to help Auburn lead the SEC in scoring offense in 2004. Kenny Irons picked up the following year where those two left off by gaining 1,205 yards — the fifth time in six years Gran coached a 1,000-yard running back. Gran also produced an SEC Special Teams Player of the Year in Auburn kicker John Vaughn, who won the award in 2006. That same season, Gran’s special teams units led the SEC in kickoff coverage, field goal percentage, PAT percentage and punting. Before coming to Ole Miss, Gran coached wide receivers at Idaho State in 1994 and Cincinnati from 1992-93. His first coaching job was at his alma mater, Cal Lutheran, from 1987-88, followed by a oneyear stint at Southeast Missouri State in 1989. A pair of graduate assistantships followed at East Carolina and Miami before returning to full-time capacity at Cincinnati. Gran played four seasons as a wideout at Cal Lutheran, graduating with a business administration degree in 1987.

James Cregg comes to Knoxville having spent his career coaching both sides of the line of scrimmage, experiences that are making a difference as he takes command of Tennessee’s offensive line positions. Cregg’s most recent coaching responsibility was for the last two seasons as an offensive line assistant with the Oakland Raiders. He helped the 2007 Oakland squad under then-head coach Lane Kiffin finish sixth in the NFL in rushing and inside-the-20 touchdown percentage. Before joining the Raiders, Cregg spent three seasons coaching the defensive line at Idaho. His final season of 2006 for the Vandals was under the tutelage of Dennis Erickson, now the head coach at Arizona State. Cregg coached the defensive line at Colgate from 2000-03, where, in his final season, the Division I-AA squad advanced undefeated to the national championship game. The Raiders’ title-game loss to Delaware ended a school-record 21-game winning streak stretching to the middle of the 2002 season. Colgate finished in the top 10 nationally in rushing defense during Cregg’s final two seasons with the Raiders. In 2003, Colgate also allowed only 16 passing touchdowns in 16 games played. During Cregg’s four seasons at Colgate, the Raiders won Patriot League titles in 2002 and 2003, with the team’s defense finishing first in the conference in total defense during both championship seasons. Cregg played for and later served as a graduate assistant under Colorado State’s Sonny Lubick. Cregg earned All-Western Athletic Conference honors as a senior offensive lineman for the Rams. He was a two-year starter on Colorado State’s offensive line and played in two bowl games in the mid-1990s. He then was named a graduate assistant at his alma mater from 1997-99.

David Reaves arrives in Knoxville after a successful tenure for most of this decade at South Carolina, where he served under head coaching legends Lou Holtz and Steve Spurrier. Reaves coached seven seasons for the Gamecocks, including the first two as a graduate assistant. After one year as defensive backs coach under Holtz and two seasons assisting Spurrier in coaching the Gamecock quarterbacks, Reaves was handed the full-time quarterback coaching duties in the spring of 2007. In addition, Reaves was given the duties beginning in 2006 of recruiting coordinator. He solidified his reputation as one of the top young recruiters in college football when the 2007 Gamecock signees formed a consensus top-10 class and were regarded as the most highly touted recruiting class in school history. Following the February signing day, Reaves was selected as one of the top 25 recruiters in the country by Rivals.com. In 2007, the Gamecocks threw for more than 3,000 yards and averaged 258.2 yards per game through the air with senior Blake Mitchell and redshirt freshman Chris Smelley sharing time under center. In 2006, the South Carolina quarterbacks, primarily Blake Mitchell and Syvelle Newton, combined to throw for 3,259 yards, an average of 250.7 yards per game. In 2005, Reaves assisted with the development of quarterback Blake Mitchell, who threw for 2,370 yards, the seventh-highest single season total in school history. Reaves spent his first full-time collegiate coaching season of 2004 working with the Carolina safeties. Reaves, who grew up in Columbia, S.C., served as an assistant head coach at Tampa (Fla.) Catholic High School for one season prior to coming to Carolina. He was team captain and a three-year starter at quarterback for Appalachian State University, where he helped lead the Mountaineers to three straight national playoff berths.

Former Tennessee defensive back Inquoris “Inky” Johnson was a student coach during the 2008 season and earned a promotion in 2009 to graduate assistant. One of the most popular student-athletes in recent Tennessee history, Johnson played defensive back from 2004-06 before suffering a serious shoulder injury that ended his on-field career. But the Atlanta native has stayed close to the program and jumped at the chance to officially enter the coaching ranks under UT’s new regime. Johnson was a student coach last year and has been a key component in the transition to a new coaching staff. Johnson played in 23 games during his UT career, with eight starts. He finished with 10 career pass breakups and intercepted a pass in Tennessee's 2006 season-opening victory over California. One week later, Johnson suffered his shoulder injury late in a win over Air Force and has fought through three long years of rehabilitation. Now, he embarks on a new career path.

REVIEW HONORS RECORDS VOLMANAC
Condredge Holloway, one of the most celebrated players in Tennessee Volunteers history, begins his 12th year on the UT staff having recently been inducted into the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. That made eight halls of fame for the former UT quarterback and AllAmerica shortstop, but the latest milestone was particularly significant. “To be honored by your home state is very special and personal,“ said Holloway, a Huntsville native. “I visited the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame and was overwhelmed by the names of the athletes with ties to the state. The first bust I encountered was Joe Louis; the next two were Willie Mays and Hank Aaron. Just being in the same building with those men is quite an honor.” Holloway, 55, also has embarked on a new career path within the UT Athletics Department. He was named last year by athletics director Mike Hamilton to the new position of Assistant Athletics Director for Student-Athlete Relations & Lettermen. Holloway is maintaining a number of his current duties but primarily now serves as the department’s liaison with the Lettermen’s Club, assisting with reunions and other projects. Public appearances on behalf of the department, always a strong suit for the popular Holloway, continue to be a major part of his job description. Holloway also is the point person for numerous issues surrounding the conduct of a major college football program. He oversees disability insurance for the student-athletes and assists with the annual Pro Day inside the Neyland-Thompson Sports Center. And Holloway has taken great pride in helping former Vols find their niche in the business world by assisting them with contacts and employment opportunities following graduation. Holloway remains associated in the minds of Tennessee fans with the razzle-dazzle offense he quarterbacked during his undergraduate days of the 1970s. Nicknamed “The Artful Dodger,“ Holloway packed excitement into every play, whether it developed into a pass or a ground-gaining scramble. In his three seasons (1972-74) as a starter, Holloway directed the Vols to the 1972 Astro-Bluebonnet, 1973 Gator and 1974 Liberty bowls and an overall record of 25-9-2. He ended his career with the best

interception-to-attempt ratio in Tennessee history, throwing just 12 interceptions in 407 collegiate attempts. In addition to being the first black quarterback at Tennessee and in the Southeastern Conference, Holloway also was the first black baseball player in UT history. The outstanding prospect had been selected out of high school by the Montreal Expos with their first overall pick after catching the eye of Expos president John McHale and chief scout Mel Didier. Baseball legend Buck O’Neil also had been among those attempted to sign Holloway, who opted instead for a two-sport collegiate career and went on to excel on the diamond. Holloway garnered All-SEC and All-America honors as a shortstop in 1975 and finished with a .353 career average. This past off-season, Holloway — still the owner of UT’s longest hitting streak at 27 games — was selected to Tennessee’s All-Century Baseball Team, making him the only Volunteers student-athlete named to all-century squads in both baseball and football. Holloway left Knoxville and played 13 seasons in the Canadian Football League, compiling impressive numbers for the Ottawa Rough Riders (1975-80), Toronto Argonauts (1981-86) and British Columbia Lions (1987). He threw for more than 25,000 yards and rushed for another 3,167 while scoring 155 touchdowns. He was league MVP in 1982. After his professional playing days ended, Holloway returned to college and earned his UT degree. In addition to his recent induction in Alabama, Holloway is a member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame, Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, UT Baseball Hall of Fame, and the city halls of fame for Toronto, Ottawa, Knoxville and Huntsville.

2009 Season Review
Eric Berry
Cranked up and looking for good things to happen, their spirits buoyed by a top-20 preseason national ranking, the Vols instead crashed to their second losing campaign in four years in 2008. Tennessee notched a victory over Kentucky in the closing game to close a disappointing season with a 5-7 overall worksheet and a 3-5 slate in the Southeastern Conference. The brightest light in a rather dimly-lit season was sophomore safety Eric Berry. The Fairburn, Ga., native became the 33rd all-time UT player and the first since 1990 to claim consensus All-America honors. He earned first-team acclaim from all five NCAA-recognized outlets: American Football Coaches Association, Walter Camp Football Foundation, Football Writers Association of America, Associated Press and Sporting News. At the conference level, Berry became the first Tennessee player since Peyton Manning to earn SEC Player of the Year honors. Other awards lauded upon the stellar sophomore included the 2008 Jack Tatum Award, presented annually by the Touchdown Club of Columbus (Ohio) to the best defensive back in college football. He was also selected to receive the Vince Dooley Award for the Top Defensive Back in the Southeast presented by The Touchdown Club of Atlanta and the Tennessee Player of the Year award presented by the Tennessee Sports Writers Association. Lastly, he was a finalist for the Jim Thorpe Award. Berry's combination of strength and skill helped him finish with a major college-best seven interceptions for 265 return yards, while adding 72 tackles to finish third on the Tennessee team and 18th among SEC leaders. For his career in just 25 games, Berry owns 12 interceptions for 487 return yards and three touchdowns. In two seasons he has broken interception return yardage records that had been on the books for a combined 187 years. He now owns records for a UT season (previously stood for 37 years), UT career (39 years), SEC season (52 years) and SEC career (59 years). He enters the 2009 season just 14 yards shy of the major college career record of 501 interception return yards set by Florida State's Terrell Buckley from 1989-91. 2009 VOLUNTEERS FOOTBALL

Pasadena, Calif. - Arian Foster rushed for 96 yards on just 13 carries and Montario Hardesty added 66 yards and two touchdowns on 12 carries, but the Tennessee ground game couldn’t overcome mistakes on special teams and in the passing game as the Vols dropped their season opener to UCLA in overtime, 27-24. Highlighting several special teams miscues were three missed field goals—including a game-tying attempt in overtime—and a blocked punt returned for a touchdown for the only time in Phillip Fulmer’s tenure as head coach. On offense, new starting quarterback Jonathan Crompton struggled to find a rhythm, completing 19 of 41 passes for 189 yards and an interception. Gerald Jones caught four passes for 40 yards. The Tennessee defense was a bright spot in an otherwise shaky opening act. The Vols allowed just 29 rushing yards and 288 total yards while posting nine tackles for loss and picking off four offerings from UCLA signal caller Kevin Craft. In the first extra frame, the Tennessee defense held UCLA to zero yards and forced the Bruins to convert a 42-yard field goal. The Vol offense struggled as well on its possession, failing to gain a first down and forcing Lincoln onto the field for a game-tying 34-yard try, which he missed wide left to give UCLA the win.

Knoxville - Mistakes can cause a game to get out of hand quickly, and that’s exactly what happened to the Vols in a 30-6 loss to Florida. Tennessee’s first three possessions of the game ended in two turnovers—one inside the Florida 5-yard line—and a Florida punt return for a touchdown, placing the Vols squarely in a 17-0 hole. The Vols had the ball again at the Florida one-yard line with time running out in the first half and again turned it over, leaving the Vols a 20-0 halftime deficit from which they wouldn’t recover. Jonathan Crompton completed 18 of 28 passes for 122 yards. He also threw one interception and posted the Vols only touchdown on a one-yard run early in the fourth quarter. Tennessee out gained the Gators in total offense 258 to 243, but three turnovers, nine penalties and numerous special teams errors made that usually-telling statistic all but meaningless. The 243 yards gained by the Gators was their fewest vs. the Vols the since the 1990 game, when they gained just 194 yards. The Tennessee defense played well at times, but was put in too many bad situations due to special teams mistakes and turnovers. Rico McCoy led the unit with 10 tackles, while Eric Berry posted eight tackles and a sack.

Knoxville - Tennessee racked up 548 yards of total offense including 266 on the ground as the Vols rolled past UAB 35-3 at home. Arian Foster carried 12 times for 100 yards and Lennon Creer carried eight times for 93 yards and two touchdowns. Montario Hardesty rushed seven times for 28 yards and also scored a touchdown. The back-breaking play for the Blazers came on a 45-yard TD run from Creer late in the third quarter. The ensuing PAT gave the Vols a 28-3 lead with little more than a quarter to play. Creer added another score from three yards out early in the fourth frame to create the final margin. The dagger came from Creer, but most of the dirty work was Foster’s. He produced runs of 16, 25 and 31 yards en route to his 11th career 100-yard game. Gerald Jones caught two TD passes in the first quarter, the first a 20-yard strike on Tennessee’s second possession of the game and the second from 14 yards out on the Vols’ next possession. The Tennessee defense held the Blazers to 275 yards of offense and created three turnovers, each an interception by DeAngelo Willingham, Eric Berry and Ellix Wilson. Berry and Wilson also tied for the team lead with seven tackles apeice. Adam Myers-White contributed five stops, including two for losses.

1st - AU - Dunn 18 pass from Todd (Byrum kick). 2nd - UT - Lincoln 47 field goal.
Knoxville - The Tennessee defense dominated for the second-straight week in support of new starting quarterback Nick Stephens as the Volunteers held off Northern Illinois for a 13-9 win at Neyland Stadium. The Vol defenders surrendered just 190 yards of offense and picked off one Dan Nicholson pass, while the offense again struggled to find a rhythm, producing just nine first downs and 225 yards of offense. The deciding play of the game ended up being a 52-yard touchdown pass from Stephens to Denarius Moore in the third quarter. That play gave the Vols a 13-3 lead as the defense went on to surrender just two field goals in the final 25 minutes of play. Stephens finished the game 10-of-17 for 156 yards and a touchdown. Arian Foster was the Vols’ leader on the ground, grinding out 75 yards on 18 carries, while Moore’s 52-yard snag propelled him to the top of the stat sheet in the receiving column. He finished with three catches for 65 yards and a score. Daniel Lincoln saw action for the second-consecutive week, converting field goals of 36 and 34 yards. The defense produced a season-high four sacks and seven tackles for loss in the game. Nevin McKenzie, making his first career start, led the team with nine tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss. DeAngelo Willingham made three tackles and broke up three passes.

Athens, Ga. - Matthew Stafford threw for 310 yards and a touchdown and Knowshon Moreno carried 27 times for 101 yards to pace Georgia in a 26-14 win over Tennessee at Sanford Stadium. The Georgia offense amassed 458 yards of offense and possessed the ball for more than 42 minutes, thanks in large part to a number of defensive penalties and miscues from the Vols. When the Tennessee offense did get on the field, not much went right. Nick Stephens completed 13 of 30 passes for 208 yards and two touchdowns, but the UT rushing game was non-existent. Montario Hardesty rushed six times for 20 yards and the team finished with just one rushing yard total at game’s end. Gerald Jones led the receiving corps with four catches for 68 yards and a touchdown. The one thing that did seem to get the Tennessee offense going was turnovers. Robert Ayers picked off Stafford on a screen play in the second quarter, and the offense responded with a six-play, 77-yard drive capped by a two-yard pass from Stephens to Jones. Early in the third quarter, Eric Berry picked Stafford in the end zone and returned it 54 yards into Georgia territory. Tennessee took seven plays to drive the remaining 46 yards and scored on a 12-yard pass from Stephens to Lucas Taylor. Ellix Wilson led the team with 16 tackles, and Ayers posted a career-high nine stops and 3.5 tackles for loss.

Auburn, Ala. - The Tennessee defense certainly played to its potential, but the offense struggled mightily as Auburn pulled out a win over the Vols in a defensive struggle on The Plains. John Chavis’ defenders held the Auburn offense to 226 total yards and only one offensive touchdown, forcing eight three-and-outs including four in a back-and-forth final quarter. The difference in the game was Tennessee’s inability to move the ball on offense. The Vols gained 191 total yards and managed only nine first downs. A fumbled exchange between Jonathan Crompton and Arian Foster in the Vols’ own end zone during the second quarter gave Auburn the seven points it would need to hang on for a win. Crompton finished the game 8-of-23 for 67 yards, while Montario Hardesty led the rushing effort with 35 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries. Hardesty rushed around left end for two yards and a score on the opening play of the fourth quarter to pull the Vols within two points, but Crompton’s pass on the two point try was caught short of the end zone by Gerald Jones. Ellix Wilson led the Vols with 10 tackles, including one for a loss. Dan Williams posted eight stops with two of those being for a loss. Tennessee’s other score came as the result of 38-yard interception return from Dennis Rogan.

Knoxville - With the recent struggles of the Tennessee offense, the Vols got back to what they know best-the running game and pressure defense--in a 34-3 win over Mississippi State at Neyland Stadium. Tennessee ground out 139 yards on the ground and scored two rushing touchdowns while the defense tallied five sacks and forced three interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns. The game-breaking play was a 72-yard interception return for a touchdown by Eric Berry early in the fourth quarter. The play put the Vols ahead 20-3 and gave Berry the Southeastern Conference record for career interception return yards with 397. It was his fifth pick of the season. On the Bulldogs’ next possession, Demetrice Morley got in on the act with a 32-yard pick return for a score, and Tennessee added a one-yard touchdown from Lennon Creer with less than three minutes to play. Creer ended the game as the Vols leading rusher with 68 yards and a score on 17 carries. Eight different Vols caught passes led by Lucas Taylor and Austin Rogers with two grabs for 23 yards apiece. Nick Stephens managed the game well under center, connecting on 10-of-20 passes for 136 yards. Berry led the Vols defensively with 10 tackles, including a sack. Nevin McKenzie posted eight tackles and 1.5 sacks. The five sacks posted by the defense were a season-high.

TENNESSEE ALABAMA
Knoxville - Tennessee gave itself opportunities early, but couldn’t fully capitalize down the stretch in the Vols’ 29-9 loss to No. 2 Alabama at Neyland Stadium. The UT defense and special teams units held strong for much of the first half, but the offense couldn’t do its part. Twice before halftime, Tennessee was given solid field position and came away with a total of three points. In the first quarter, Dennis Rogan recovered a fumbled punt inside the Alabama five-yard line. The UT offense lost nine yards on the drive and was forced to call on Daniel Lincoln for a 31-yard field goal. Early in the second quarter, Montario Hardesty blocked an Alabama punt to give Tennessee possession at the Crimson Tide 32-yard line. The offense lost two yards in three plays before Daniel Lincoln missed a 51-yard kick. After the intermission, Alabama took advantage of a tired Tennessee defense and scored 16 points on their first three drives, effectively putting the game out of the Vols’ reach. Nick Stephens finished the game 16-of-28 for 137 yards and a touchdown, which came late in the game on a screen pass to Josh Briscoe. Briscoe was the Vols’ top receiver with four catches for 46 yards. Tennessee managed only 36 yards rushing in the game led by from Arian Foster with 21. The Tennessee defense was led by Rico McCoy, who posted a season-high 13 tackles.

Columbia, S.C. - In what became the story of a season, the Tennessee defense played well, but two second-quarter turnovers by the offense proved to be the difference in the Vols’ 27-6 loss to South Carolina in Columbia. With the Vols trailing 7-0 and driving into South Carolina territory, Nick Stephens saw the first pick of his career returned 68 yards for a touchdown and a 14-0 Gamecock lead. Two possessions later, Jonathan Crompton completed a pass to Lennon Creer, who then fumbled and watched South Carolina’s Captain Munnerlyn return the loose ball to the Tennessee four-yard line. The Gamecocks would score on the next play. Nick Stephens finished the game 10-of-24 for 134 yards. He was replaced for a period in the second quarter by Jonathan Crompton, who completed 5-of-8 passes for 39 yards. Arian Foster rushed for 56 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries. Austin Rogers led the Vols’ receivers with three catches for 72 yards. Tennessee’s only score of the game came in third on a one-yard run from Foster.

Knoxville - Tennessee used the same formula to earn a victory for the second straight game, rushing for 210 yards and giving up only 193 yards of total offense in a 28-10 win over Kentucky at Neyland Stadium. It was the 24th-consecutive win for the Vols over the Wildcats and Phillip Fulmer’s 152nd and final victory as Tennessee’s head coach. Quarterback Jonathan Crompton threw just eight passes and completed six of them for a total of 101 yards and a touchdown. He also carried eight times for 17 yards and a score. Gerald Jones was the Vols’ top rusher and receiver, carrying five times for 67 yards and a touchdown while catching three passes for 15 yards. Denarius Moore caught Crompton’s TD pass, a 63-yard strike that gave the Vols a 14-3 lead early in the second half. The Vols added two touchdowns in the final quarter, one a five-yard rush from Lennon Creer and the other a two-yard scamper from Jones. Arian Foster posted 59 yards on 21 carries to finish his UT career as No. 2 on the all-time rushing list with 2,964 yards. Senior linebacker Ellix Wilson led the Vols in tackles for the fifth time with nine stops. Fellow senior Nevin McKenzi posted seven tackles, including two that went for a loss.

Nashville - Tennessee rode a productive second quarter and a stingy defense to its 13th-straight win in Nashville over in-state rival Vanderbilt. The Vols got all of their points in the second quarter and then turned the game over to the defense in the second half. The UT defenders held Vanderbilt to just 25 yards rushing while forcing three turnovers. Tennessee rushed for 222 total yards and threw just nine passes for 21 yards. Lennon Creer led the effort on the ground with 80 yards on 13 carries. Arian Foster added 53 yards on 11 carries, and Montario Hardesty rushed seven times for 43 yards and a touchdown. B.J. Coleman came off the bench to take the majority of the snaps in the game and completed four passes for 21 passing yards. After a scoreless first quarter, Hardesty scored from eight yards out to cap a nine-play, 65-yard drive and give the Vols a 7-0 lead. A poor punt from Brett Upson gave the Vols prime field position on their next possession, which was converted into a field goal and a 10-0 lead. Vanderbilt’s ensuing possession ended in a 45-yard interception return for a touchdown from Eric Berry. The Vols would add another field goal just before the intermission to make the score 20-0. Rico McCoy led the Tennessee defensive effort for the fourth-straight game with 11 tackles.

Knoxville - Tennessee’s defense again played admirably, but offensive miscues led to defeat for the Vols, this time at the hands of the Wyoming Cowboys at Neyland Stadium. Tennessee surrendered 13 points, an interception return for a touchdown and another interception cashed in with a one-play, four-yard drive. It was all the Cowboys would need as the Volunteer offense couldn’t get on the scoreboard when it needed to the most, in the final 20 minutes of the game. Tennessee managed 101 yards on the ground and 118 through the air. Starter Nick Stephens and backup Jonathan Crompton combined to go 14-of-36. Crompton completed the Vols’ lone touchdown pass to Gerald Jones, who finished the game with five grabs for 37 yards, in the third quarter. In the absence of running backs Arian Foster and Montario Hardesty, sophomore Lennon Creer carried 16 times for 82 yards. The Vols had four second-half possessions after the Jones touchdown and all four times drove to midfield or closer, but could not score. Rico McCoy led the UT defensive effort with 10 tackles, while Demonte Bolden posted seven tackles with three going for a loss. Robert Ayers also posted two TFLs for five yards.

General Robert Reese Neyland
Gen. Robert R. Neyland
Feb. 17, 1892-March 28, 1962
The history and tradition of Tennessee football began under the tutelage of Gen. Robert Reese Neyland, a member of the College Football Hall of Fame. Neyland came to Tennessee as an ROTC instructor and backfield coach in 1925 and was named head football coach in 1926. From that date, Tennessee was in the college football business to stay.
Neyland’s 1939 Vol team was the last to shut out each of its regular season opponents. Over the course of his career, 112 of his 216 opponents failed to score against his Tennessee teams. Tennessee still holds an NCAA record for holding opponents scoreless 71 consecutive quarters.
Neyland’s teams won Southern Conference championships in 1927 and 1932, piling up undefeated streaks of 33 and 28 games along the way, and SEC championships in 1938, 1939, 1940, 1946 and 1951. In addition, Neylandcoached teams won four national championships. The Vols were consensus national champions in 1951, won the Dunkel, Litkenhous, Boand, Houlgate and Poling national championships in 1938, the Dunkel and Williamson crowns in 1940 and the DeVold and Dunkel crowns in 1950.
It was Gene McEver who kicked off the Neyland era with his 98-yard return of the opening kickoff in the 1928 Alabama game, a game the underdog Vols won 15-13. Each of Neyland’s succeeding eras would be highlighted by similar big plays: Johnny Butler’s 56-yard run against Alabama in 1939 and Hank Lauricella’s 75-yard run against Texas in the 1951 Cotton Bowl. Neyland’s 21year record at Tennessee was 173 wins, 31 losses and 12 ties. Neyland, who came to Tennessee as an Army captain and left as a brigadier general, brought one of the most efficient single-wing offenses in the country to go with an unyielding defense. He was assigned to the head coaching position by Dean Nathan Dougherty with a single injunction: “Do something about the series with Vanderbilt.”
Joey Kent
After Neyland’s death in 1962, the University established the Robert R. Neyland Scholarship, academic scholarships awarded to non-athletes, many of whom are National Merit Scholars. The endowment for these scholarships now exceeds $3 million and 192 students have been the beneficiary of the awards. The thoroughfare behind the stadium’s south end, once called the river road, is now named Neyland Drive. More recently, the Vol football complex on campus was named for Neyland and Knoxville businessman B. Ray Thompson.

In October 1894, the Athletic Association resolved to drop varsity football and look forward to baseball in the spring. After the humiliating 1893 season (two wins and four imposing defeats), only two athletes willing to admit they had played on the 1893 team returned to campus in 1894. To complicate matters further, the practice field, located just west of the main entrance to the Hill, was being graded and improved. Soon after this decision, W.B. Stokely, a UT senior who transferred from Wake Forest, persuaded a group of students to form a team. Stokely, who was elected captain, gave encouragement and direction to the other players. Even though the institution chose not to be represented officially on the gridiron, Stokely and his unofficial team kept football interest alive during this period when almost certainly it otherwise would have been allowed to lapse completely. These unofficial games, referred to as “The Lost Years” are not included in NCAA statistics or in official University of Tennessee won-lost records.

The former Indiana player coached the 1914 team to the SIAA championship and the first defeat of Vanderbilt in Vol history, a feat only one other coach accomplished until the Neyland era. His employment of the straight T formation produced a fine record. He returned to Indiana in 1923 and remained until retirement. Coaching record: 26-15-2.

The University of Tennessee Athletic Council, chaired by Professor Nathan W. Dougherty, officially suspended varsity football during the World War I years of 1917 and 1918 because the majority of the players were called into military service. In addition, Coach John R. Bender was enlisted as an instructor at Camp John Sevier in Greenville, S.C. During this period without varsity football, two unofficial teams were formed from Army recruits and students. One team represented a training unit called the Fighting Mechanics and another the Student Army Training Corps (SATC).

General Neyland’s retirement from military service enabled him to devote full time to coaching and building one of the most powerful programs in the nation. He produced the national championship team in 1951 and took the Vols to three straight major bowl appearances. Poor health in 1952 forced his retirement to athletic director, a position he held until his death in 1962. He was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1956. His record for this period was 54-17-4. Coaching record: 173-31-12.

About the ‘T’ – The famed letter “T” debuted on Tennessee’s helmets in 1964 as Doug Dickey assumed the coaching reins. Johnny Majors had the ‘T’ slightly redesigned when he was named head coach in 1977. Dickey also brought another Tennessee tradition to life when he started the Vols running through a giant “T’ formed by the band. Pride of the Southland Band – The UT “Pride of the Southland Band” was organized immediately after the Civil War. Since then, enrollment in the band program has grown to more than 400 students. Director of Bands, Dr. Gary Sousa, heads up a program that has maintained a long-standing reputation as one of the nation’s finest musical organizations. The band first marched in a 6-0 victory over Sewanee in 1902. In 1969 “The Pride” formed and opened the “T” against Army in another Vol victory. School Colors – The colors Orange and White were selected by Charles Moore, a member of the first football team in 1891, and later were approved by a vote of the student body. The colors were those of the common American daisy which grew in profusion on The Hill. Tennessee players did not appear in the now-famous Orange jerseys until the season opening game in 1922.
Checkerboard End Zones – The unique design accompanied coach Doug Dickey’s arrival in 1964 when the Vols played Boston College. The colorful and popular end zones were a part of Tennessee football until 1968 when the natural sod was dug out and artificial turf was put in its place. The tradition was reinstated with the new artificial turf in 1989 and has continued with the transformation to natural grass in 1994. The checkerboard end zones also now appear on the basketball court at Thompson-Boling Arena and for volleyball matches at Stokely Center.
Vol Navy – Former Vol broadcaster George Mooney found a quicker way to get to Neyland Stadium in 1962 other than fighting the Knoxville traffic. Mooney navigated his little runabout down the Tennessee River to the stadium and spawned what would later become the “Vol Navy.” Tennessee and Washington are the only institutions with football stadiums adjacent to bodies of water.
Rocky Top – Felice and Boudleaux Bryant’s “Rocky Top,” — written in 10 minutes at the Gatlinburg Inn in 1967 — has captured the fancy of Vol fans everywhere and is a muchrequested and much-played song at UT sporting events. First performed as part of a halftime country music show at the 1972 Tennessee-Alabama game, the song attracted so much attention and is so beloved that long-time UT band director W.J. Julian said that not playing it would cause a mutiny among Vol fans.
Smokey - The Tennessee students voted to select a live coonhound mascot to represent the school in 1953. The late Rev. Bill Brooks entered his prize-winning Bluetick Coonhound, "Brooks' Blue Smokey," in the selection contest. At halftime of the Mississippi State game that season, the dogs were introduced over the loudspeaker and the student body cheered for their favorite, with "Blue Smokey" responding to the fans with a bark of his own to secure the victory. The Smokey lineage — nine dogs in all — has stayed under the care of either Rev. Brooks’ or his wife’s family ever since. One of the most beloved figures in the state, Smokey is famous for leading the Vols out of the giant "T" prior to each home game. Smokey IX has been serving since the 2004 season. 2009 VOLUNTEERS FOOTBALL

Neyland Stadium/Shields-Watkins Field: The present day Neyland Stadium, Shields-Watkins Field had its beginning in 1919. Col. W.S. Shields, president of Knoxville’s City National Bank and a UT trustee, provided the initial capital to prepare and equip an athletic field. Thus, when the field was completed in March 1921 it was called Shields-Watkins field, in honor of the donor and his wife, Alice Watkins-Shields.The stadium, apart from the field it grew to enclose, came to bear its own distinguished name: Neyland Stadium. It was named for the man most responsible for the growth and development of Tennessee’s proud football tradition. General Robert R. Neyland served as head coach from 1926 to 1952, with two interruptions for military service. After retiring from the coaching ranks, Neyland was athletic director until his death in 1962. He was the guiding force behind additions to the stadium’s capacity, and is the one most responsible for the winning tradition that Volunteers fans have come to expect over the years.

Tennessee Bowl History Paved With Opportunities, Big Plays, National Championship Scenarios
When bowl matchmakers begin the mental calculations leading toward their annual holiday events, Tennessee is one of a select group of universities that always receives thoughtful consideration. Traditionally, the Vols consistently provide an exciting bowlgame spectacle with high-powered offense and grudging defense. But that’s just one of many reasons Tennessee is a bowl promoter’s dream. UT’s other irresistible lure is its legions of fans, a collection of devoted supporters who bathe a neutral bowl site in a sea of orange worthy of a game at Neyland Stadium. The Vol faithful are good travelers who arrive at the game site early and make themselves seen and heard until they leave town. Tennessee has appeared in 47 bowl games, of which a couple stand out as particularly memorable because of the bearing they had on producing two of the school’s national championships. In the early years of wire service polls, the national champion was selected at the end of the regular season. Bowl results were not part of the evaluation process. But Tennessee’s Cotton Bowl victory over Texas after the 1950 season was invaluable in paving the way for the crown UT claimed in 1951. The 20-14 upset of the Longhorns in Dallas on New Year’s Day made the Vols the team to beat going into the next season. When the curtain fell on the 1951 campaign, Tennessee had ridden the momentum of its Cotton Bowl triumph to the national title as awarded by both wire service polls.
Forty-seven years later, a bowl game was crucial to another UT national championship claim. In the first officially sanctioned Bowl Championship Series title game, the Vols met Florida State in a matchup of the two top-ranked teams at the close of the season. Led by the passing of quarterback Tee Martin, the Vols capped an undefeated season by turning back the Seminoles, 23-16, before a capacity crowd at the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in Tempe, Ariz. National championship pandemonium reigned throughout the night at any place Vol fans were gathered. The significance of bowl games is in the eye of the individual, however, so you can pick among more than two dozen UT victories for your favorites. Certainly some of the other leaders would include: 1939 Orange Bowl (Vols 17, Oklahoma 0), 1965 Bluebonnet Bowl (Vols 27, Tulsa 6), 1971 Liberty Bowl (Vols 14, Arkansas 13), 1986 Sugar Bowl (Vols 35, Miami 7), 1990 Cotton Bowl (Vols 31, Arkansas 27), 1996 Citrus Bowl (Vols 20, Ohio State 14), 2002 Citrus Bowl (Vols 45, Michigan 17) and 2005 Cotton Bowl (Vols 38, Texas A&M 7).

UT IN THE POLLS Since the inception of wire service polls, Tennessee has frequently placed among the nation’s leaders in the national rankings. The Associated Press poll, which began in 1936, the United Press International poll, running from 1950 until 1991, and the CNN-USA Today poll lasting from 1982 until 1997, when it became the ESPN/USA Today poll, all reflect the lofty standings of the Vols in the eyes of coaches, sports writers and broadcasters. Tennessee won the 1951 and 1998 national championships in all polls and finished No. 2 in 1938, 1939, 1956, 1967 and 1995. The Vols have been awarded other national championships as determined by different points and ratings systems in effect at the time. UT earned national titles in 1938 and 1940 according to both the Dunkel and Litkenhous Systems. The Vols were named national champs in 1950 by Dunkel and in 1967 by Litkenhous. The 1951 title was also honored by both the Litkenhous and Williamson Systems.

Tennessee vs. No. 1
In its 100 plus-year history, Tennessee has been involved in eight contests in which the Vols’ opponent was ranked No. 1 in the country. UT has a 2-6 all-time record when playing the nation’s top-ranked team. The most recent game between Tennessee and the No. 1 rated team was against Miami (Fla.) Nov. 9, 2002, in Knoxville. The Vols’ two victories against a No. 1 team have come against Southeastern Conference foes. Tennessee, ranked No. 13, edged Louisiana State 14-13 Nov. 7, 1959, in Knoxville, to knock the Tigers out of the top spot. On Sept. 28, 1985, the Vols, 0-0-1 and unranked at the time, soundly defeated top-rated Auburn 38-20 in Knoxville. The 1985 Vols went on to win the SEC Championship and finish No. 4 nationally in all polls.

Throughout its history, the University of Tennessee football program has been a regular member of the Associated Press and, more recently, the ESPN/USA Today Coaches polls. Below is a listing of the last time the Vols were ranked in a particular position in each poll. Tennessee’s last No. 1 ranking came at the end of the 1998 football season after Tennessee’s 23-16 win over Florida State in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Jan. 4, 1999. The win garnered Tennessee the undisputed national championship thanks in part to the advent of the Bowl Championship Series, which matched the top two teams in the land in a fight for the national title.

The 2005 ceremonies to retire the jerseys of Doug Atkins (91), Peyton Manning (16) and Reggie White (92) brought the list of retired jersey numbers at Tennessee to seven. This includes the four former Vol players who died in World War II and had their jerseys retired in 1946.
In 2005, Tennessee instituted criteria to retire additional numbers. Those criteria include, but are not limited to: candidates must be recognized as good citizens and have a minimum of five years between the candidate's UT football career and consideration of this honor. A candidate must have achieved three of the following five collegiate honors: induction into the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame, Southeastern Conference (SEC) Player of the Year, Consensus All-America, Heisman Trophy winner, and have won one of the following general athletic/academic or non-position specific awards: Sullivan Award, SEC Athlete of the Year (all sports) or Draddy Award.
Doug Atkins (91) is considered by many to be the greatest defensive end in football history. After originally signing with UT on a basketball scholarship, Atkins went on to gridiron All-America status in 1952, was the only player to be unanimously named to the All-SEC Quarter Century Team (1950-74) and was selected SEC Player of the Quarter Century. Atkins retired with the most NFL games played (205) by a defensive lineman. The Vols went 29-3-1 with Adkins on the field and won the 1951 national championship.
Peyton Manning (16) is the most decorated athlete in UT history. He left Tennessee as the SEC's all-time leading passer with 11,201 yards, setting 42 passing records during his Vols career that included two NCAA, seven SEC and 33 UT marks. Off the field, Manning won the Draddy Award as National Scholar-Athlete of the Year in 1997 and graduated in three years with a degree in speech communications. He graduated with the highest grade-point average (3.61) in his field. During his pro career, Manning has earned Pro Bowl honors six times in his eight seasons played and was named NFL MVP for the 2004 and 2005 seasons. He threw an NFL-record 49 touchdown passes in 2004 and already has 244 for his career. Manning's career total of 33,189 passing yards stands 20th on the NFL all-time list.
Reggie White (92), who died Dec. 26, 2004, at the age of 43, collected a school-record 32 sacks in his four years with the Vols to establish himself as the most prolific pass rusher in Tennessee history. Fifteen of those sacks came in his senior year of 1983, a campaign current Vols head coach Phillip Fulmer called the "most individually dominant season I've ever seen." Known as the "Minister of Defense," White went on to a 17-year pro football career, retiring as the NFL's all-time sack leader with 198. He was elected to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2002. He graduated from the University of Tennessee in 1990.
Ceremonies were held during the 2006 UT-Air Force game to officially memorialize the four players killed in World War II. Those individuals, listed below, had their jerseys retired in 1946.
Clyde (Ig) Fuson (62) (March 11, 1923 — Dec. 4, 1944), a native of Middlesboro, Ky., and fullback on the 1942 team, shared playing time with Nowling. Ig had a younger brother, Herschel (Ug) Fuson, who was a freshman on the 1942 team and transferred to West Point, from where he graduated. Rudy Klarer (49) (March 9, 1923 — Jan. 6, 1945) was a reserve guard in 1941 and starter in 1942, from Louisville, Ky.
Bill Nowling (32) (Aug. 8, 1920 — Aug. 9, 1944), a fullback 1940-42, from St. Petersburg, Fla., was a three-year starter under Gen. Robert R. Neyland and John Barnhill.

STAFF
Hamilton’s Personal Data
Mike Hamilton has a vision for leading the University of Tennessee to become the national standard of achievement in intercollegiate athletics. Since becoming Director of Athletics in 2003, Tennessee has placed in the top 15 of the Director’s Cup two times, brought home four national titles, 14 SEC or SEC divisional championships, and produced 156 All-Americas. On the academic front, Tennessee has produced 10 first-team Academic All-Americas, two SEC Scholar Athletes of the Year, 975 Academic All-SEC honors and had 372 student-athletes earn degrees. In addition, 26 former student-athletes who left to pursue professional athletic careers have returned to finish their degrees through the Renewing Academic Commitment (RAC) program administered by the Thornton Athletics Student Life Center. In the 2008-09 school year, 42.2 percent of student-athletes earned a 3.0 GPA in the fall with 50 percent earning that same mark in the spring. This fall, 11 UT football players are competing as graduate students, while five are working toward a second degree. Prior to being named athletics director, Hamilton spent 11 years in the UT athletics development office. During his stint there, the department saw donations rise from $5 million in 1992 to $19.5 million in 2003. Donations rose to $42 million in 2008 and UT Athletics has implemented a zero-based budgeting model to create a reserve of more than $7 million to ensure UT can continue to be one of a handful of athletics departments in the country receiving no funds from state subsidies or taxes. As visionary of the Neyland Stadium Master Plan, unveiled in the fall of 2004, Hamilton is ensuring that Neyland Stadium will be around for the next 75 years and for generations of Vol fans to come. One key goal of the master plan, which is being completed in five phases, was to fund the renovations without overburdening the general fan primarily through the use of premium seat opportunities and targeted philanthropic gifts. Now in Phase III, Neyland Stadium already has seen renovations to the concourses, concessions and restrooms in the west and northwest areas of the stadium as well as renovations to the locker room, the addition of a field level Lettermen’s Room and new media center, brick work around the field level, renovated west side skyboxes and press level, and the addition of the East Club and West Club, which are primary funding models for the renovations. By the 2010 season, more than 60 percent of the stadium will be completely renovated. In addition to the Neyland Stadium Master Plan, Hamilton also has overseen the creation of the Allan Jones Intercollegiate Aquatic Center, Regal Soccer Stadium, Lee Softball Stadium and Pratt Pavilion basketball practice facility. In addition, improvements have been made to Thompson-Boling Arena and Lindsey Nelson Stadium to ensure that Tennessee has the best facilities to give its student-athletes and coaches the resources to compete for championships every season. Under Hamilton’s watch, Tennessee secured a partnership with IMG College worth a minimum of $133 million between 2007 and 2022. This extension provided additional funding that will allow Vol fans to enjoy a new HD video board at Neyland Stadium beginning with the 2009 season. In addition to athletics facility upgrades, Hamilton has placed a focus on giving back to the school and the community through a variety of ways. For fiscal year 2009, the athletics department contributed more than $6.26 million in direct cash support to the University. The athletics department also provides indirect benefits to the University of more than $24 million through athletics benefits to UT employees and students through: free or reduced rate tickets to sporting events; licensing revenue; player-of-
the-game scholarships; alumni association tickets; use of football skyboxes for University purposes; as well as utilities’ costs and maintenance expenses for athletics facilities, which are centrally funded for other campus units. Hamilton joined UT as Assistant Athletics Director for Development in 1992 and worked his way up to Senior Associate Athletics Director for External Operations in 2002 before being named Director of Athletics. A native of Brevard, N.C., he served as assistant director of the Deacon Club at Wake Forest University before joining the Vols staff in 1992. He earlier had served as a graduate assistant in fundraising at his alma mater, Clemson University, where he earned both a bachelor’s of science in accounting and a master’s in business administration. Hamilton was honored in the spring of 1998 when the National Association of Athletic Development Directors named him National Fundraiser of the Year. In 2006, he was named to the NCAA Academics, Eligibility and Compliance Cabinet. He currently is a member of the NCAA’s Athletic Personnel Issues and Recruiting Cabinet as well as a member of the NCAA Football Academic Working Groups to study academic issues in college football. He was selected to serve on the SEC Advisory Group for Bowl Negotiations and the most recent television and media negotiations, as well as a subcommittee in the league to address cost containment issues. He is an active member of NACDA and the Division 1A Athletic Directors Association, where is a frequent guest speaker, and is actively engaged in an Athletic Directors’ Think Tank for Professional Growth. Hamilton is the immediate past chairman of the Knox Area Chamber Partnership and serves on the board of directors of the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame. He also is involved in the Crohns/Colitis Foundation of America, Redeemer Church, Smoky Mountain Area Rescue Ministries and Adoption Advocate iniatitives. In 2004, he and his wife created the Mike and Beth Hamilton Celebrity Golf Classic for Bethany Christian Services, which has raised more than $300,000 for adoption services. Hamilton is married to the former Elizabeth Merrill, also from Brevard. They are parents of a daughter, Madison, and a son, Matthew, and the family is welcoming three children – two sons, Natnael Edward, 7, and Kiya Isiah, 4, and an infant daughter, McKinley Kalu – from Ethopia this summer.
