March 24, 2013 - PRLog -- Once again, the national media has turned to legendary University of Tennessee quarterback Erik Ainge for insight into the coaching situation at the University of Tennessee. And, once again, Ainge provides his unique perspective in the informative (and humorous) way that only he can provide.

This week, CBS News turned to Ainge for perspective on a story called “With plenty of work ahead, Jones tackles makeover at Tennessee” by Bruce Feldman.  In the report, Ainge says:

“No one expects a red carpet, but we do expect to be able to go watch spring practice. One time Dooley reached out to (me) to be his ‘spin doctor’ in the media.  I sat in front of his office with his secretary and we talked for 45 minutes. I knew everybody over there better than he did. His dry cleaning wasn’t done properly, so he was making them re-starch his dry cleaning. And I just sat there for 45 minutes.

“He made it really hard. Tennessee fans are begging for you to give ‘em something to get excited about. It’s as much a part of the culture here in East Tennessee as anything. You have Dollywood and you have UT.

“He made it really hard even for the die-hards to get on board.”
