Following the passing of legendary Tennessee women’s basketball coach Pat Summitt in June, the school announced the football team would honor arguably the greatest coach in school history with a helmet sticker this football season.
Wednesday, the Tennessee Athletics official Twitter feed posted a photo of the sticker on the Vols’ helmet:

Summitt retired from the school in 2012 after compiling an NCAA-record 1,098 wins in 38 seasons on Rocky Top. Under her leadership, the Lady Vols won eight national titles and advanced to 31 consecutive NCAA Tournaments.
