The last thing Hart wants to do is fire Dooley and do the whole job search thing. He is determined to make this work.

Awesome news if true.

Also, how scared ****less is Dooley right now after seeing the ease/eagerness that Hart displayed in putting out huge money to bring in a DC like Shannon?

That's some Godfather-esque tactics. I mean, it helps Dooley a lot for sure, but it's also gotta be intimidating as hell seeing first hand how short his leash really is.

Or refreshing seeing how an AD SHOULD approach his job? He's also giving Dooley the tools he needs to succeed.

Legitimate question.

If true, what happens if Dooley ass blows another season and we have Shannon inked on a MY deal? We're stuck with RS as a head coach, or have to spend more money that the sunshine pumpers say we don't have to buy him out too, if another HC were to be hired?

Dooley's gonna be here for fifteen years. he's about to bust out with a big season. He's EXACTLY the type of coach we need, one who is here to build a program out of the ashes.

You need to get used to him.

Thank God Hamilton isn't here and Hart is. I agree with Hart on this decision. It's time to get the BEST staff possible and compete for championships. I love Hart's attitude...But let's just hope that this is true!

So in other words we are not getting Coach Shannon? Don't remember seeing Volnation having any accurate information.. and yet I keep reading it. Fool me once shame on me... fool me 10 times... shame on me.

If true, the comment about JW is great to see. It's nice to have some guys who at least respect the chance to coach here. I'm not really entitled to say that JW wasn't the guy for us, mainly due to the talent level here, but I do feel JW knows he is much better off in Wash. JW's style of bend don't break will work much better in Wash when they really only play 3-4 really good teams each year instead of 7-8 here in the SEC. Best wishes to him and his family. GO VOLS!

Good point. I hadn't thought of it that way. Nothing like a little extra encouragement. :daddy:DOOLEY

We kinda talked about this too. It was his thought that Hart would rather come in full throttle with a splash hire, pulling out all stops, in order to save the foundation that has been put down the last two years by Dooley instead of just putting a band-aid on it like Hamilton had a history of doing, and then having to start all over again next year if Dooley couldn't produce. More of a business decision to pay a bit more now to avoid paying much more at a later date (and not just money--he's very concerned about scraping what is a good foundation).

I came into some information from stopit28. This is what he told me earlier this evening at dinner regarding the DC situation:

-Dooley has known for a better part of a year that JW would leave for the first PAC-12 job that came available. It was always expected that Simon would follow. However, this all started to become reality two days after Christmas when Washington started showing interested and contacted the UT AD about JW.

-Since then, Dooley (and Hart) have worked to compile a list of replacement DC candidates. Sirmon's spot will be left vacant for the time being to accommodate additional staff the new DC may want to bring in, with Dooley's approval.

-Steele was definitely Dooley's first choice, but Hart didn't feel it was a good fit nor the big time hire that was needed. As he explained it to me, Hart did not want a band-aid just to get through next season, which is how it was described that Steele would be.

-Shannon was a close second and Hart's number 1 choice. Hart made it clear to Dooley that funds would be available to secure him, as it would take "a considerable salary," for the Shannon hire.

-JW informed Dooley on New Years Eve that he would be taking the UW job. Sirmon followed suit the next day. Both were accommodating and offered any assistance to help with the search/transition for the next few days. He's not sure if they were utilized or what they provided but said they were very gracious and accommodating.

-Baring any unforeseen event, Randy Shannon will be the new DC. He and the university have agreed (in principal--not official) through their lawyers to a multi year deal worth over $1million/year plus incentives. Despite Hart's comments on multi year deals, he is treating each coach on a coach by coach basis. Since Shannon is "his guy," it is assumed that there is some leeway on his original comments about multi year contracts for NEW hires.

-Expect an announcement by "late Friday or early Monday," depending on contract finalization.

-He was not sure if Shannon was on campus today, as was rumored.

-There was no team meeting as far as he could tell and so the Palardy tweet, he assumes, comes from Palardy's family being connected to a few high ranking names at the university. There was never an announcement made to the team that caused Palardy tweet what he did. He obtained the information from other means, but still accurate.

That's the latest and greatest. Should be all but a done deal.
