KNOXVILLE — University of Tennessee football is rich in tradition and Vols Wire will explore the history of the program by examining each head coach’s tenure at UT.
This installment will examine the 1910 season when UT was coached by Andrew A. “Lex” Stone.
Stone, a native of the Volunteer State, played his college football at Sewanee. He was an All-Southern tackle for the Tigers.
During his sole season at Tennessee, he guided the football team to a 3-5-1 record. Under his leadership, the Vols were shut out three times and scored just 50 points in nine games.
In his time in Knoxville, the Vols had wins over Mooney School, Howard and Maryville College.
Stone was also Tennessee’s basketball coach during the 1910-11 season when the Vols went 7-9.
After coaching, Stone served in the Tennessee House of Representatives from 1913-15.
