Do you guys realize all 5 losses are to SEC (hands down the toughest conference in college football, unprecedented) teams in the top 15 of the BCS with a combined record of 36-5? Of course, all 5 losses are to those in the top 15 of the BCS. Do you remember UT was competitive in all 5 losses except 1? Do you realize no one has been competitive with Bama this year? Do you realize that UT had a very good chance of winning 3 of those games with last years DC? Whoever brought in an unproven DC needs to be fired now!!! If it was ultimately Dooley, see ya Dooley. If not, fire whoever brought in Sal. The D is PATHETIC!!!
Dooley supporters just make up things and say things that make no sense to make him look better. I honestly don't know if they are trolling or just that ignorant.
You don't seem to read many of my posts my friend because I've stated many times that I'm NOT a supporter of CDD or any coach.
I support my Tennessee Vols and that DOES include whoever our coaches and players are at the time.
I also believe in being honest and when credit is due then give that earned credit.
As a business owner for 30 years I also let emotions go and do a honest and thorough analysis of everything from A to Z and look to see where problems are and how they can be fixed.
Do I believe that CDD and all our coaches suck as most immature people on here say constantly...Not at all.
Do I believe we aren't up equal with player talent as the other top SEC teams...Yes, I think we need another year or 2 of decent recruiting to even the talen levels.
Do I believe we're better and more competitive than last year...Yes but all smart people knew it would take 2 years to get our 3-4 defense down pat and playing well like Saban at bama and Kelly at Notra Dame have done in their 3 years working on their 3-4 D.
You should read what I say rather than try to spin it to fit your personal agenda my friend.
I think if AD Hart keeps CDD and CSS for another year we'll Win against some or most top SEC teams and will have a legit shot to Win the S#C East next season.
VFL...GBO!!!

First, just a few comments for you to get those orange colored glasses a little ole' spit shine.
1) I appreciate your knowledge as a "business owner" but to just to let you know in case you haven't paid attention--Dooley isn't coming through--his record and all the stats all point in one direction--there needs to be a change made. I'll throw out a few damning stats 1) Only TWO teams have started out 3 straight seasons 0-5---that would be US and Vanderbilt--2) Dooley hasn't beaten one ranked team not ONE--in fact we last to Kentucky last year and that is frankly alarming for a football program that aspires to be winning SEC and BCS Championships..that is completely UNACCEPTABLE.
2) Dooley has replaced most of his coaching staff...do they suck you are da#$* right they do..there is a problem all across the board and like you may no sir, if leadership and success starts at the top and so does FAILURE for that matter.
3) I think you are the only one that thinks that...you hold onto that belief and perhaps it will keep you warm at night. I'd be willing to bet any amount of money that you are wrong. Dooley is gone and that's the bottom line
I think you are a lot of Tennessee fans---you're so blinded by this losing mentality you can't see the forest for the trees. We aren't South Florida, Louisville or some other program. This progam's ceiling for success should be higher each and every year because of the resources we have at our disposal. I can give Dooley a pass for year 1 and maybe even 2 but year 3 must supposed to be progress. There has been none--it's time to cut the cord.
Sigh. Read your post, well some of it, and figured it as a feeble attempt to post "facts" without context. Same thing faux news does. They believe the **** the say, but when put to the test, they go to commercial. Lets look at your "fact" number one - Since when did we start out 0-5 the past 3 seasons? Your fact number two - When did we "last" to Kentucky?
Your turn genius.

If expecting UT to beat ranked teams at least 50% of the time, and 75-90% of the time at home, is unrealistic(In your mind) then you are a severely uninformed, or a very young Vol fan. This is TENNESSEE. We beat ranked teams!! We expect to effect the National Championship, in some manner. We expect to be in the mix, more often than not.
If you want to settle for "Competing" then YOU ARE NO FAN!! Please take your "It's great to compete" attitude to UK or Vandy, please.
I would expect more intelligience from a Steelers, Braves, and Vols fan! I have been a UT fan for 28 years. I was on the hill from 85-89. I expect more than mediocrity and expect UT to compete for SEC East Titles every year and win atleast 4 SEC East Titles and 2 SEC championships every decade!!! However, replacing Dooley with another unproven coach will not solve the problem. If Hart can get a top five proven college or pro coach to come to UT, fire Dooley immediately. If not, fire Sal or improve the D drastically immediately!!!

^^^This, no team in the country has 40 to 60 NFL players on there roster, not even Bama, not even close! You are saying most teams in the SEC will have 10 to 15 draft picks per year for the next 4 years. You need to check your facts and do some research. I do believe LSU, Bama, USC, UF, and UGA has more talent than us. I don't think MSU does. Mullen just did a good job of exploiting UT's pathetic D!
Sal has been the problem since he stepped on campus. He is a hot head full of hot air that screams and curses his players more than he spends time coaching them up! Yes, he should get in their butts! Yes, he should motivate them. But, you can't force a round piece of wood into a square hole!
Let me try to help you Mr GRUDENite dreamer so you might actually post a fact or 2 rather than garbage to try and support your delusional agenda that Gruden will ever coach at Tennessee.
1...There's LOTS more to rebuilding a totally destroyed football progam than just the Win/Loss record which is mostly all you and your emotion filled rants ever talk about.
2...You say, in such an immature manner, that all our coaches suck but coaches that DO have SEC Championship rings and National Championship rings would NEVER even get a job on a coaching staff that good if they sucked like you and many other say they do.
3...You always try to blame everything on coaches but never on players or a roster that's still not even close to the rosters we have to play against and talent and the number of really good players on a team DOES matter as does depth, knowledge and experience of those players.
4...1 minute you say all the old coaches ran away to get new jobe BUT the next minute you say CDD replaced them all....Just ADMIT that you have NO IDEA which is was and stop your childish spin to try and fit your agenda or at least WRITE down what you say so you can try to at least be consistent rather than making up things as you go along, LOL!
5...You say in year 3 we're supposed to see progress but you see NONE...LMAO!
You see NONE because you freely CHOOSE to see no progress so it will fit your agenda, LOL!
Last year you said our O linemen sucked.
Last year you said all our RB's sucked.
You said we would NEVER have a running game until we got real SEC type O linement and RB's, LMAO!
CDD said he would fix our running game and he DID that with the SAME O linemen and the SAME RB's as we had last year so Factually you were totally WRONG about all our O linemen and all our RB's, LOL!
You see NO progress but try to LOOK at our current player roster and try to THINK for once my friend.
When CDD got here we might have had 5 or 6 future NFL players on our roster and new CDD has our roster with probably 18 to 20 future NFL players on our roster so I think that IS progress my friend.
Last year we would get totally BLOWN OUT by all the top SEC teams and we were NOT even close to being competitive BUT now this year we HAVE been lots more competitive and if our new 3-4 D was in the 2nd year and we had stopped just 3 to 5 big scoring plays in each game except for Bama we would probably be a 1 loss team, ranked in the top 10 and already be the SEC East championship winner but shame on CDD for trying to have a great Defence like Bama and like Kelly built at Notre Dame, LOL.
OK, enough with another GRUDENite for now but keep dreaming and maybe your agenda and dream might come true.
VFL...GBO!!!
MegaMillions numbers Nostradamus?At Oregon: Loss
At FL: Loss
UGA: Loss
At Bama: Loss
SCar: Loss
You call us crazy for wanting a coaching change?
With DD on the sideline (or pressbox) we lose all of those games, depth isn't getting any better because of mediocre recruiting (which will get worse next year) and UT will lose even more money. I am speechless at the thought of you believing we can beat MOST of the top SEC teams, that is absolutely ludicrous. Not to mention, AU will be getting a new coach to lead a very talented team and Vandy and Mizzou will be better.
Out of sheer curiosity, how long:
1) do you believe it will take before we consistently achieve a 10+ win regular season with CDD at the helm?
2) are you willing to wait on said 10+ win regular season with CDD before being ready to say that he can't achieve a competitive level of success here?
