Fun for Nega-Vols of all ages!

Since I am surely part of the minority that supports our up-and-coming coach, I figured the many anti-Dooley posters, (many of which are obviously footballing guru's in the prime of their careers) should educate us more unlearned folk on the in's and out's of hiring a successful college head coach:


-Post in this thread who you would rather have as our head coach should Dooley be let go at the end of the season. Enlighten us as to why this canidate is, or would be a better head coach than Coach Dooley is currently (citing factual information to back up your argument; wins/losses, experience, etc).

-Throw out a number or a ballpark figure you would give said coach to come to UT that you believe is within the University's budget (where he would surely win the SEC title each and every year).

-Finally (the fun part) give us your honest opinion on the % chance the aforementioned coach has of ACTUALLY deciding to come to UT should Dooley be fired after this year (where he would undoubtedly win National Championships year after year, because that's what UT is expected to do after all).


I'll go ahead and fire up the FlightAware.

People aren't expecting a NC every year. Being good enough to beat Kentucky would be nice though.

You arent part of the minority. Negavols are the vocal minority. Dissenters are always more vocal which gives a false perspective that they are the majority. In reality most people would rather dooley just go ahead and win and be successful. The majority just doesnt feel the need to constantly berate others with that opinion.

Well, I would've liked to have been good enough to beat Memphis High back in '96. Or possibly even Vandy in '05. Wait, surely we were better than Wyoming in '08 right? Well anyways, the moral of the story was, sometimes life just ain't fair.. or maybe it was never buy from Krispy Kreme without a coupon.. hell I don't know.

That was basically the essence of the OP, just 5 paragraphs shorter.

Not at all. In fact, I haven't seen a serious response yet from one of y'all yet. That tells me all I need to know.

No, apparently it doesn't. Other than the fact that he's here, you're likely to struggle justifying his employment more so than others will struggle talking replacements.

All you need to know is that this is a terrible thread.

There's no way to even know what coaches would be in an available pool of replacements until much later in the football season, or at the end of it. Without knowing who the options are, its tough to choose which coach would be the best of the availables, but the odds are pretty good that we could find somebody who would be an upgrade over what we currently are stuck with.
