The state of our football program has us all pissed but did we really believe there's gonna be an announcement before the ky game is over? I wanted to believe it but the more time passes it just doesn't seem realistic. Dooley is more than likely gone, regardless what he does the last four games and Gruden is still with MNF and I'm sure not going anywhere till his last game is called. Him coming here is still possible let's just wait it out. All we can do at this point.

The ADs first responsibility is to do what's best for the program. If he hasn't gotten a replacement lined up then letting DD go today isn't what's best for the program. Fans want to hear something but that isn't his first priority.

That makes sense. I understand about having a coach versus not having one and being desperate. I stand corrected.

This was posted earlier and it was a terrific idea:

Email your frustrations. Flood his inbox to hell and back with your anger. I know I did, and I felt slightly liberated for a good 90 seconds or so. Do it!

Sent mine in. Said will eat my tickets rest of year as long as dooley is there and don't expect my money any more. Sure it is sitting in the spam file.

1. I hope Gruden Comes to TN,if he dont Oh well, i will still wake up the next day and have a life to live
2. I like CDD, I wish he would have been able to complete the job he started out to do
3. Most people on this board are going insane and spewing crap about THE CURRENT HEAD COACH and it makes me sick, Like him dont like him Whatever but you will never convince me CDD did not give his all for UT and the roaster and overall health of the football program is in MUCH better shape than when he took the job
4. Facts are this, our D is terrible but any switch from the 4-3 to the 3-4 is bad in the first year ( see GA as example)
5. I think most fans just want to win and could really care less who the coach is as long as the W's are coming in every fall, I am one of them but stop and think for a second before you personally degrade our head coach take a deep breath no matter what happens it is not the end of the world. The SEC comes and goes in cycles our time will come again.
6. Fire dave heart I ...LOL prob the same people who was saying what a great job he done in Summit gate a few weeks back...Good lord calm down people!!!!!
7. Romney/ Ryan. Enough said.

Maryland switched to a 3-4 this year and they aren't getting blown out in games like we are. This is year 1 for them.

Some here have said Hart hired him.
Click to expand...

Most I have heard have said Hart wanted someone else and Dooley balked. Probably because he was scared of hiring his own replacement.
Besides that you just spent a day and a half on this thread bashing what the "insiders" say but now....
So when it benefits your argument you are willing to go with what "some" here say.

if Gruden was our man dooley would have been fired today.

We are still searching for a coach. (FACT)

Have to agree with this based upon an earlier post that said (paraphrasing) "If we have an announcement Monday, then JG is a done deal...if not, then its still in the works."

Just trying to recall who said what...

On today's Sports Animal radio talk show in Tampa it was mentioned that Jon Grunden was contemplating taking the head coaching position at UT. Didn't say anything about he was going to or not just that he was thinking about it. This is the first discussion of this matter on Tampa sports shows and the two commentators are well into college and professional sports scenes and know a number of insiders on all sports related issues.

This would sort of jive with some posters that have said the powers to be at UT have contacted Gruden and possibly outlined a sample contract.

Even if Gruden accepts the position I see Dooley finishing out the year and the announcement made after the regular season ends. One of the assistants can coach the Vols in the bowl game if they get eligible which we would all hope they do after what happened last year.

Tally Ho is a great beer. Just saying...:)

I'll be happy to give them my regular donation that goes along with buying my tickets. If Dooley is still the coach when my renewal comes in the mail early next year, they won't be getting it.

Even if you give 20000, that's still a drop in the bucket to those who actually have to come out of their pocket to pay for a new UT head coach. Big deal. Remember who Derek Dooleys dad is also. Politics will play a role in wether Dooley gets fired as well. If you want to donate half a million or more, insure you'll be able to get a spo on the table where ACTUAL decisions are being made about wether or not Dooley will be the head coach come next year. Until then, your just 1 unimportant fan. Sounds harsh, bu it's the truth.

He posted that it hasn't changed and he's still sticking to what he originally stated.(I'm paraphrasing of course)..And I don't remember the exact time of the post.

Has it died down a bit or are people still getting their jollies off trying to rub it in that Dooley hasn't been fired?

I had to step away because I was getting too annoyed. I can't stand people that have nothing better to do than hang out where they're not wanted, running their mouth. It would be like me going to a religious forum and saying "hahahaha, God doesn't exist. you're all dumb". Fwiw, I do believe in God. Was just using it as an example. People who feel the need to show up and laugh at others/berate them are pathetic.

I know this. All I'm saying is if they've been worried about season ticket sales the past couple years, just wait and see what happens if Dooley is still the coach next year.
