Ausmus took long way back
When folks from back in Tennessee phoned Aaron Ausmus in Los Angeles, they’d wonder why he had a hair-dryer going. Didn’t he still shave his head?
It wasn’t a hair-dryer. It was a 747.
“We lived in a little one-bedroom apartment in El Segundo, right by the (LAX) airport,’’ Ausmus said. “When planes were taking off the windows and mirrors would rattle.’’
He never had that problem growing up in LaFollette.
Ausmus left Tennessee in 2001 to launch his career as a strength-and-conditioning coach at Southern Cal. He’s back home now, UT’s second head strength coach of the young Lane Kiffin era.
