Place seems to have a few decent associates (Kelly, Morgan), couple of solid fulls (Prins, Nowes) and new hires from good places (Texas, Stanford, Iowa). But I've heard some "interesting" stories. Anybody have any info? I could live in Tennessee, I am from around there. But what about the department?

They do have good people. In the mid 2000s I was told several stories from people who worked there and left. However, the roots of the stories are gone. Much better place.
This is correct. There were a few real .... "characters"... there for much of the 1980s and 1990s. They are gone. Rich Pacelle, the current chair, is one of the really good guy in the discipline.
Night and day difference between then and now. Despite much of my family and many of my friends living in that area 20 years ago, I would not have taken that job at that time.
