About the event
This year marks the 100th anniversary of Neyland’s tenure as head coach at the University of Tennessee. Robert Neyland was not a typical football coach. A graduate of West Point and veteran of both world wars, he ran his program like the army and amassed an impressive 173-31-12 record.
Come learn the history about this legend of college football, then head over to support the Golden Eagles for their first game of the season!
