[QUOTE="Vespidae, post: 661016, member: 2957"] Does anyone remember Dodd's somewhat unique approach to the game? I recall that he published a Coaching Philosophy Handbook which is in the GT archives, but haven't seen it for years. Dodd was schooled by Bob Neyland and his Seven Maxims of Football are still recited by UT players before every game. Most fans who follow UT can recite them too. What I remember about Dodd was his belief that in the first half, you should always go for a TD in the red zone and never try a field goal. He said football is a game of percentages and since it's 50/50 that you'll get the TD, you should take it because with the extra point, you'll end up with 7 in two tries vs. 6. His other philosophy was to always play for field position. Any way, if anyone recalls any of his maxims, I'd like to organize them and analyze games from his period. I have a theory that is different than the Five Factors in Study Hall and want to test it. [/QUOTE]
