Dave Parrington, the longest-tenured coach at the University of Tennessee, retires as the most decorated diving coach in SEC history.

“To all the divers over the years, dating back to our first squad who set the tone for what was to come, through all the ups—of which there were many—and downs over the years, I express a monstrous token of gratitude,” Parrington said. “I’ll miss being on deck with you but will always cherish the friendships and look forward to watching you flourish with the groundwork we worked so hard day in and day out. Just remember to ‘Let it Fly!’
