That was my poll. The numbers have surprisingly shrunk and now there is quite a ridiculous number who wants Doofus back.

Sounds like somebody is padding the poll a little to me.

I wonder if there has been a correlated increase in "new" user registrations.

Jay what do you make of what seems to be increasing talk of Dooley getting a fourth season? I haven't had time to read all the posts but I seem to be seeing an increase in folks putting forth the idea. Do you read it as frustration that nothing is coming forth regarding a change or are Cheek/Hart still playing games?

Not answering for Jay but I think Basilio is inciting a riot with info he has read on this very thread about Cheek. He is days behind in his reading so look for him to be up to speed with us by next Tuesday. The Cheek thing was squashed on here by Monday night, maybe Tuesday morning. Really easy to sway this fan base right now. We have been let down so many times.

Even if we were to go 8-5, I still would not feel Dooley would have us in the right direction at the 3-5 in the SEC. Hopefully the boosters feel the same way as I do.

In 2010, nineteen schools including Tennessee, hired new coaches. As of today, only 7 have a record above .500. Brian Kelly, Jimbo Fisher, Tommy Tubberville, Butch Jones, Charlie Strong, Lane Kiffin, and Sonny Dykes.

What does this have to do with Gruden?

Dan Enos, Jeff Quinn, Doc Holliday, Willie Taggert, Bobby Hauck, Mike MacIntyre, Todd Berry, Ruffin McNeil, Mike London, Skip Holtz, Joker Phillips, and Derek Dooley.

That's where we are.

I hear alot about the defense and moving to a 3-4. Muschamp hires Brent Pease after Weis, sure they get off to a bit of a slow start, but in two years they're at the top of the East. He saw what he had wasn't working, brings in a new coach, changes the offense...not so hard.

Not at Tennessee. We go get a guy who's never been a DC. Why?

UF is just one example, but my point is this. Dooley's best chance to beat UF were the last two years. If UF stays ranked, Dooley hasn't just lost the games, he's lost on the recruiting trail. Instead of pulling closer to UF and the others, the losing on the field means losing on the recruiting trail.

To pull closer to our competition on the field and on the trail Gruden is the answer...he may not be the only answer, but he's the only sure fire hire that can bring recruits immediately w/o having beaten anyone. It's instant credibility.

Got no substance to stand on to defend a coach? Start calling folks' fandom into question.

I have a feeling that more of them will join us when Dooley loses one of these upcoming games..which at this point,wouldn't surprise me.

My uncle is a major donor, and has a torch fund at UT. He told me this last weekend he would be meeting with Mr Haslam this week about a few football related items. Curious to see what he comes back with.

I would wager a significant amount of money that the Vols lose at least 1 of the final four games.

I think it is even money that they lose 2.

This thinking is my problem. Since when is ANY LOSS acceptable at UT? We are TENNESSEE!!! A school rich in tradition of success and winning... Moral victories are sneaking into our vocabulary is scaring me. We aren't Vandy....

Thats very possible. Troy really kicked Miss State's a$$ up and down the field but turnovers killed them. Which typically happens to smaller schools for some reason. Vandy and Mizzou are games we could easily lose. Really think Vandy is the most likely loss.
