Maybe the people saying that Dooley tells kids to wait are right. I mean, this is a nice committment when the fanbase was down.

He supposedly committed to the Coachs last week, just waited to make it official. Nice pichup for our WR class. We are getting a good mix of size in our WR corps. Love it

"Shocked" and "Looked Down Upon" for choosing to come to Tennessee? Not sure if I am reading too much into those statements, but Tennessee has a rich tradition in putting WR's into the NFL. We currently have the best WR corp in the country as well. I am super stoked with this kid's commitment. I believe those statements reflect that other coaches are definitely negative recruiting against UT.

Yeah those comments kinda stung and saddened me too.

We have GOT to get back to winning and NOW!

GBO!

Winning is the only way to stop the negative recruiting against UT. Withthat said welcome aboard Mr. Harris!

Or it could just be a reflection of UT's recent success. Last SECe champ's in 2007, and I think 1998 was the last time we won the conference. No October wins in 2 years. I think we only have 2 wins against ranked teams since 2007. Losing seasons in 3 of the last 4 years. Record of 47-44 since 2005.

We have hovered between irrelevant and bad for the past 7 years.

I think he was referring to leaving the state or area he is from, just like Ramsey, and not a knock on UT.

Yep. This and he picked us up over the hottest team perhaps ever on the recruiting trail. That comes to the surprise of a lot of people who don't follow the program I am sure.

As much as it hurts and I hate to agree with you, this post is spot on.

The difference is, this year we and the recruits will know before national signing day whether Dooley will be the Coach of the Vols. He will be off the Hot Seat one way or another...

Depending on how well Tennessee does this year, how early do you think Hart will show his hand in terms of whether or not he will retain him or replace him? I know that AD's all over the country say, "I do not have a minimum number of games a coach must win to retain their job", but that is the politically correct thing to say. Surely they do. In your opinion, what will
Hart be looking for this season? Will
Being "Competative" against good teams without wins be enough? Honest questions.
Thanks!
(One other thing, do AD's constantly keep a short list of replacement coaches they like?)

if we start out 4-1 with us beating UF at home I think the future is bright, but if we start out 2-3 with losses to NCstate, UGA and UF the future will be grim. Also it might take until the bowl game. if we go 7-5 during the season and we win to give us 8 wins he stays. I firmly believe it will also take at least 1 signature win vs UGA, SCarolina, UF, Bama
