If you think they're hostile now , if Wilcox leaves, they'll take it to another level.

If McKeffery can work his magic, our D-line will be much better this next season. Let me ask you something skeet, do you agree that our O-line is soft?? By soft, I mean they don't have that nasty mean streak to just mess someone up. It's like they are just a bunch of nice guys playing football.

Okay then by your argument Da'Rick became an All-SEC 1,000 yard WR because of coaching. Did the same coaches not work with ZR? spend less time with him? Did he not go to practice? The difference is talent.

Thats a good point, but Z Rogers was further along than D. Rogers last year. D. Rogers even admitted he was terrible at running routes. That's something that has to be coached.Whenever he finally worked on it and was coached up, his ability easily surpassed Z Rogers. If we go by pure talent alone, Da'Rick would have been involved in the passing game more last year

ok skeeter, let's define serious improvement. Are we talking about a percentage increase/decrease stats wise across the board?

For example let's say it's 10%, then we will see a 10% increase of improvement in pass completions, 3rd down conversions, rushing yards etc. for Tennessee and a 10% decrease in opposing teams converting 3rd downs, yards gained, plays over 30 yards etc.

Just trying to gauge your commitment level. :)

vol fans right now.

volnation currently has more than 4,000 people online and i will assume the majority of those are football fans.
now, say 3,000 of those fans are ready to fire dooley and very unhappy with the program at the moment. those 3,000 will help spread the negativity to atleast 5 other people each with our grand total of unsatisfied customers being 15,000. thats a little bit more than 15% of neylands capacity.

heres what i propose. everyone settle down and wait to pass judgement on this staff til after its 3rd year. if we dont see serious improvement next year and be competitive in most games like most of us expect, ill in return expose who i am and personally have a dunking booth set up outside the stadium and everyone is invited down to take his or her best shot. oh, ill do it in january.

we'll have some fun one way or the other next year. any takers?

Would love the give and take Skeeter... even tho I am one of the wait till the end of Dooley's 3rd year to judge crowd

Baggett was also a competent coach but unfortunately he is gone.

Tiny may have not known the offense, but if you put him and Marcus Jackson the left side of the line, we would have run the ball more effectively. Tiny may very well be the strongest OL as a freshman we have ever had.

Skeeter, What are you hearing about the recievers coach?

Rucker said that Tee martin would be very interested if we went after him.

Yea I feel that way some. I was at the game unfortunately. It was a gut check after 26 years and my 1st visit to commonwealth stadium. I don't have any answers only big concerns of perceived lack of effort and inconceivable lack of rushing. Is it the sprint draw scheme blocking that explains why we are close to bottom nationally or don't we have backs hitting the hole. I'm not advocating firing CDd after 2 years but something is broke why isn't it fixed yet.

Agree on all points. I still can't get over the last game, or the fact that every day the situation gets worse. CCB gone, wondering who's going to be next.

An o-line that blocked for a thousand yard rusher last year, couldn't get any push this year, even against Montana.

Poole also regressed.

We lost to Kentucky and were lucky to beat Vandy.

First back to back losing seasons in a 100 years.

We didn't score in the second half for 5 or 6 weeks in a row at one point.

I agree the defense did improve throughout the season but that's because we actually have a competent coach as a DC unlike the head coach.

Quit making crap up. Not true at all that 3000 out of 4000 are ready to fire Dooley. First of all, anybody with any sense knows a radical change would only set this program back further, is what got us into this mess, and is not warranted considering we all knew this was still rebuilding year with our last-year's young freshmen, becoming this year's young sophomores.

Secondly, look at the polls on here; they are about 3 to one give Dooley more time. Quit inventing crap, you troll.

Yea he will be missed, you can't replace him, but hopefully we can get someone solid.

Sure he can be replaced. You throw out similar money to what he was making and you will get some big time WR coaches interested. Plus the fact of what we have on the roster talent wise and coming in, its a great opportunity for anyone to shine. Heck, skeeter could probably coach WRs next year and do well. :)

Yea, we did. People seem to forget we had to deal with too many HUGE injuries. Of course the team is going to look worse. We are playing backups.

-Scoring O
-Rushing D
-Interceptions Gained
-Turnovers (on D)

-Sacks allowed
-Tackles for Loss
-3rd/4th down conversions
-Time of Possesion
-Passing D
-Total D
-First downs allowed
-Punt Returns

Does anyone remember Chuck Smith?? Now, I'm not claiming that Tee is anywhere near the egotistical freak as Smith is, but we have seen what limited coaching experience can get you in the end. Tee is a great guy, I'm sure, but too many more qualified coaches than he is for the job.

Well no one can be happy about the state of affairs in Knoxville. It's not good, hasn't been in a long time and i can understand both sides of the argument. The thing we know is Dooley is going to be here next year and pretty much he's going too have to start getting it done or he's as good as gone.

I do wish everyone would pipe down a little. I was angry last weekend myself.

I think 3 to earn 4 is more than fair and if it were different circumstances he probably doesn't get that.

Poole ran good with Simms, He would of had a similar year as last year with Simms as qb.

Losses happen, Your acting like we are the only team to lose to a worst team

We should of been 7-6 last year, everyone knows it. Plus we have had the hardest schedule the past 2 years than any team i can think of.

Yea that was bad, but that was without Bray and Hunter.
