Whether or not you're a Tennessee fan, this is a wonderful tribute to a great coach, soldier & American.

I’m a Bama fan, and I have always been very fascinated with General Neyland

If this doesn't make you to be a proud VOLUNTEER Fan, nothing will. Coach Neyland was the best coach, man and soldier. Thank you for putting this together.

I hate when people say Saban is the greatest coach, no it is General Neyland.

It’s truly sad that this man isn’t more recognized for what he accomplished in his life! What was Bear Bryant record against him; exactly!

The seven maxims that General Neyland had for his Tennessee teams played under still holds true in today's game.

Whoever put this together, I salute you. Excellent work that every football fan needs to see. One man I wish I could have met! He died the year I was born. I was a 48 year season ticket holder at Tennessee and man do I miss traveling to Knoxville, there simply is nothing like being in Neyland Stadium. Some people say never look back, but if you don’t know history you will never understand where you are going or appreciate your current experiences. Something I didn’t know until viewing this documentary: Bryant was influenced by Neyland’s Coaching philosophy. Coach Bryant took great pride in his defensive units stating that Defense Wins Championships something football fans hang there hats in football discussions, but one thing a lot of Alabama fans don’t know, Ken Donahue was Bryant’s Defensive Coordinator for 21 years. Coach Donahue was an All American from the University of Tennessee. Tennessee has had a significant impact on the Alabama program. A history lesson fans need to understand.

General Neyland seven maxims still holds true in football to this day. For him to be a football coach, athletic director, and an army officer is amazing. I myself served in the military and I have been a volunteer Sunday School and Confirmation teacher and volunteer football, wrestling and track and field coach as well and General Neyland was demanding and I am the same way,but things got done right.
