Local artist paints over the mural on West End Avenue

24 years ago, Nashville artist Michael Cooper painted a mural on the side of what was once, I believe, a store called “You Greek, Me Greek” facing West End Avenue where it meets 28th Avenue South, a block away from Vanderbilt Stadium.

At the time, the mural included the faces of Gerry DiNardo, Eddie Fogler, and Jim Foster. Since then, Tim Corbin has joined the other coaches on the mural, and it’s been continuously updated to reflect coaching changes.

But the mural -- now on the side of a Verizon store — hasn’t been updated since February 2014, after Derek Mason replaced James Franklin as head football coach.
