People just don't get what Dooley has to do. He is getting out there and working on recruits in the future also. Everyone needs to relize what a great job he is doing in recruiting. You have Georgia,S Carolina,Alabama,LSU,Arkansas. Their coaches have been there for awhile. They have been working on recruits for 2 years down the road or even longer. It will all pay off for Tennessee people. You will see.

Don't say that ! Look at Kentucky and Ole Miss . Kentucky and Ole Miss had decent teams a few years ago and now look at them.

Look at Alabama senior class their loaded. We have a couple of year before, we see result or loaded senior class. VN just sit back and watch how this unfold.

Say What.. We are tied for last in SEC. We have won ZERO games in the SEC for the first time in school history.. It can't get any worse. Vandy will give us all we can handle and if we lose it, plan on team being down and losing to UK.

Mike Shula was a great recruiter, too.

As a matter of fact, Nick Saban won a NC with Shula's recruits.


Recruiting is just one piece of the puzzle. Game day preparation and management are other pieces.

Finally a positive post on Volnation, those seem hard to come by these days. Thanks orangepit!

I agree CDD is doing a good job at recruiting and I agree he had a mountain to climb.

Hopefully we are already at rock bottom and things won't get worse. But the game Saturday was no less than humiliating.

I just hope we aren't in the cycle Alabama went through before they hired Sabin....ala, years of mediocrity.

Is it now 2013? This seems to be a continuously moving target.

I don't think anyone disputes Dooley is doing well in recruiting. I have not seen our players make progress despite the adversity of injuries and playing underclassmen. The tackling has not improved and the coverage by our DBs is getting worse. I wish I could see something to hang my hat on going into the offseason to be encourage about or see improvements to make me think some of our players or going to be special next year. I see a bunch of young guys who look too mentally beat up to focus week in and week out.

Look, I like Dooley, ALOT. And I hope we give hime 5 years to prove himself. He needs the time.

But good recruiting does not make a good coach, althoughI think Dooley is both.

Ron Zook was a heckuva recruiter at FL and at Illinois but his coaching? Not so much. You have to do both in this league!

I've seen things improve. I think Wilcox at times either puts the defense in bad calls or they miss assignments. I think at times Worley either wants to score so bad that he forces things or Chaney doesn't call enough plays that are more friendly to his talents. I do think the O-Line is why we are not bowl eligible right now!

Just wait till 2013!!
