Let me make this short.
Besides the contracts and buyouts...
Consider we all and the athletic department understood we were and are in a rebuilding process.
Given that. We know its a hard road to travel.
When Dooley took on the job, when no one else would, we started walking down that road. With the strong state of the SEC it's understandable it's hard enough to crawl down that road much less run down it.
A 4-3 D wasn't going to allow us to compete like we want in the SEC. So what happens?
Hart and Dooley chose a DC that would help us transition to a 3-4.
Yes that sets us back a bit more. But everyone is talking about it takes money to make money. Well...same thing apples here. You have to set yourself back to be able to move forward. Like a rollercoaster.
Hart and Dooley understand, as well as boosters, that we may not have instant success, but allow them to find players that know the system coming in and compete.
With the talent we have, I've been happy with them competing like they have this year. Yes, I'd love to see more W's but they will come.
We now have a rebuilt foundation with talented players. We are growing.
So Hart knows what making the transition to a 3-4 could and probably would mean.
Dooley is a character guy. We don't need to keep talking about new coaches.
We need to talk about what changes on the field we need to make so that those moral victories turn into victories!
And it's not a new coach at the moment.
Our fan base needs to step it up in their combined logic. Be logical. Not emotional. Easier said than done, but still we need to learnt to bit the bullet.
Bc even if we hired Gruden or anyone, they would need time to put their stamp on the program and cross their fingers and pray theirs will be competitive.
The nature of the game is there are no guarantees.
Just bc Dooley doesn't have the rep or looks you might like doesn't mean once he puts into place his system and get the players AFTER rebuilding the foundation that he won't be successful.
Look at our offense, great!
Look at our defense, not so great!
That's bc we had to take a step back again to transition for our future, a brighter more competitive future, and its going to take a minute to get those players on defense.
So chill on filling up every thread with talking new coaches and be logical and allow our AD and coaches do what needs to be done even if they are putting the bullet on our mouths to bite.
Lets go enjoy some Fall Ball and try to shine some sun in these flowers. They need food and support
By the end of contracts the transition will be made and the players will be instilled. Allowing a new coach, then, to have the team and system they need to be successful as compete, if Dooley can't get it done by then.
Go Vols! Go BIG ORANGE!!!
