Overall the article is good. It's shorter than I'd like, especially given his accolades, but i won't hold it against you. Anyway, here are a couple issues I found:

  • Any chance on a bit of expansion or are the sources exhausted? If the latter that's okay.
  • I'd beef up the fair use rationale a bit. It's fine for inclusion in and of itself, but if you're heading to FAC with this I don't know if it would pass as is.   Done
  • Ref #11 (Football program, traditions spurred by Dodd) is a dead link.   Done
  • Your source says he led the Vols to a 24-1-1 record, yet I'm finding several that say 27-1-2, including the sources below.   Done

Prose wise everything looks good. In terms of sourcing and info adding, I found a couple more sources that may help you out: [1][2][3]

I'll put it on hold for a few days and pass it if it looks ready then. Wizardman 02:01, 14 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

This is a very enjoyable review. :) Still need to add these sources [4][5] to the article. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 15:46, 14 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
The major points are there in the article, and although expansion is certainly recommended via the sources I presented and authors, I feel the comfortable passing it as a GA (though I wouldn't go to FAC yet if that's your eventual goal). Wizardman 03:51, 16 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
I've been spanked enough at FAC to know to not bring things there until they're good and ready. And even then, who knows what will happen. —Disavian (talk/contribs) 06:44, 16 September 2009 (UTC)Reply
