Trying to Confirm

Someone mentioned that Chris Low made the statement on The Nation that Hart has already sent
out feelers to see which coaches would be interested

At this point, dont know if true, so dont shoot thr messenger

Why would Hart make this public, or even known to reporters?

This is scary! I'm far from sold that we will get a big name coach! This could put us down for 10 years!

I don't think Hart would fire Dooley if he would not be able to make a big name hire.
Just my opinion... no source.

Of course Hart is actively searching. If Doley loses the next 2 games, don't be surprised to see a news conference called Monday after the USC jr. Game.

I said that about Fulmer too

The writing has been on the wall

I wanted him to do well

But the results remain the same and the only change that hasnt been made is the HC

Hart is still a new AD. He doesn't have the relative good will that Hamilton was working with.

No idea. But I think the media heat on Dooley goes through the roof starting this week. Speculation will be a part of that heat.

Hart has probably put out feelers.

I think, and this is just me, that Dooley lost his job last night. The UF game was the sign that nothing had changed; UGA was "close but not close enough"; and last night was the final straw. I don't think Hart feels like he needs to wait and see how we do against Bama and USCe. Dooley would need to win both of those, or go 5-1 down the stretch, to save his job, and Hart don't need Ms. Cleo to tell him how that's gonna play out.

The only way Dooley survives is a 5-1 stretch run, which isn't going to happen; or Hart cannot lock up his 1st or 2nd choice for a new HC. Hart knows the next guy has to be...absolutely has to be...a solid winner. So I think he has a very short list, of very good coaches. They're going to want the big money, and more big money so they can bring in a top-flight staff. That's the show-stopper right there: money. Truckloads of it.

If Hart can find the money, and his #1 or #2 guy says "yes", Dooley is gone. Plain and simple.

I think Hart can pull it off, and will.

Go Vols.
