| The only thing that seems to have gotten Dooley hired are the recommendations of people who don't give a crap about the Tennessee program.

| I feel like the fact that we are paying Dooley more than we paid Kiffin is going to look really funny in a couple of years... | |

In the army, there is always "that guy" also. I enjoy a heated debate, but I can't stand when somebody just goes on and on and on....etc.
We all are apprehensive about the hire, even if we don't say it constantly. I was scared to death about Lame and the gang last year. But "Come on man!!!!!!"....   | |

How much does Hamilton make for these sorts of decisions? | |

So what's ur point again?? | Perhaps that there were hundreds of candidates between Gruden, Muschamp, and Dooley who were never considered.  | |
