Slow day. What would 2014 class been with Dooley at wheel?

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

I do not believe we would have landed most of our top recruits. Which ones would we have landed anyway?

 

[allvol123]

Collection of Knox County high school all stars.

 

[005]

Frighteningly few of them.

 

[volfanCLT]

 

[Vol8188]

Most of Maryville's second team. Probably would have lost a few to Vandy though.

 

[Big Orange#1]

The class would be headlined by Greg Mclisse.

 

[terrypedigo]

Ranked between 30 and 40 in recruiting services, but we would have heard about there family background and no problems and how the recruits were overlooked by the rest of the SEC, and we have beat Joe Blow out from MTSU, APP.ST KENTUCKY.

 

[AV_12]

10 4 star WR's and zero DL

 

[vols_fan_68]

Dui

 

[Sudden Impact]

Dead On Arrival....

 

[Catbone]

Dooley would have been fired last year and James Franklin would have been hired to UT

Bite your tongue.

 

[Volicidal Maniac]

Bite your tongue.

Cut it out of your head. Cause that's Eeeevvvviiiilllllllll!!!!!

 

[TNnative]

Just being thankful he wasn't.

 

[volboy81]

I don't even want to think about it!

 

[ric1958]

He`s not here. Move on.


What would VolNation be like if people would stop bringing up his name?

 

[Aesius]

Hurd to OSU
Bates to UF
Kelly to Bama
Hendrix to Mizzou
Sawyers, Barnett, and Robertson to Vandy
Wharton to Cincy
Malone to Clemson

We would have ended up with mostly 3*s and a few low 4*s.

Class would have finished ranked somewhere around 28th in the country.

 

[Orange Studs]

Why do I even want to entertain that thought? I'm trying to enjoy a long weekend don't ruin it with dodo Dooley thoughts.

 

[NashVOL93]

Hurd to OSU
Bates to UF
Kelly to Bama
Hendrix to Mizzou
Sawyers, Barnett, and Robertson to Vandy
Wharton to Cincy
Malone to Clemson

We would have ended up with mostly 3*s and a few low 4*s.

Class would have finished ranked somewhere around 28th in the country.

First attempt at a rational response I've seen so far in this thread. Spot on, sir.

 

[Biopsyman]

Squeak out a few recruits that were considering Gardner Webb or East Carolina.

:mf_surrender: I can't look at this list and honestly say any of them are UT locks, regardless of who the coach is. Maybe a couple of the legacies?

What would VolNation be like if people would stop bringing up his name?

I thought of this before I posted but I was curious since not much is going on.

 

[Outofmyvolcanmind]

Hurd to OSU
Bates to UF
Kelly to Bama
Hendrix to Mizzou
Sawyers, Barnett, and Robertson to Vandy
Wharton to Cincy
Malone to Clemson

We would have ended up with mostly 3*s and a few low 4*s.

Class would have finished ranked somewhere around 28th in the country.

I agree with all of this.

 

[chattavol420]

Rivals would've ranked the class just outside of the top 25 but it would have been Ok.... Once we heard a really good world war 2 analogy it all would have made sense

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Not good
