Make it personal.
That’s the advice that Nick Saban, arguably the greatest college football coach of all time, passed along in 2022, the season before his retirement.
And it’s the same advice that you’d likely hear from Michael Jordan. Or from Tom Brady.
You know, folks worth listening to.
Tennessee Vols head coach Josh Heupel seems to follow that advice, at least based on what we’ve seen from him so far during his time at UT.
Heupel isn’t afraid to mix it up, get a little petty, and run the score up a bit in certain situations.
And those situations are when his team is at its best.
So Vols fans should be happy that one specific game on Tennessee’s 2024 schedule became personal this week.
Former Vols offensive lineman Gerald Mincey, who transferred to Kentucky in January, has been going back and forth with Vols fans for the last couple of weeks.
On Wednesday, Mincey spoke to reporters for the first time since transferring to Kentucky. And he made some comments that will raise some eyebrows in Knoxville.
