I'll be clear. Until I hear otherwise, I fully expect a deal to be finalized and signed, with him coaching here next year.

Thanks.... I have held strong until this morning and boy... I am so in disbelief.... I know you have no control over what happens... just thought from the HOPE statement you had heard something new

The only person my source has to prove his credibility to is me, that he has done. I am not on here to promote propoganda or e-cred. When the rumor first broke I exhausted every "source" I had to find out if the "rumor" had any substance. My source eased my mind on the credibility of said rumor and added validity to it by going into detail how it was being handled behind the scenes.

I will be meeting with my source today to see if anything over the wknd changed but for now I am not concerned.

That's fine he has convinced you because you said everything he has said has happened. I want to know what has happened like he predicted to this point???

I hope your answer makes me believe him as well.

Basilio ripped Hart this morning in his blog. Saying the UT fans are getting the middle finger by Dooley not being gone today. He continues to hear Hart is "digging his heals in on letting Dooley go". Were ALL these guys sent to UT by Saban to bury our program forever or something? HA!

One has to wonder . . .

If Dooley isn't replaced, UT football is effectively dead.

Is it not possible that due to the low attendance Saturday and the fact we beat Troy by only 7, that the AD or Boosters knew the fanbase would be rabid. Therefore leak out that Gruden is not coming to maybe and I stess maybe get the light off of Dooley for the time being to let this thing play out. I have no source not an insider just throwing things around in my head trying to make sense of this mess. :unsure:

He's absolutely right on Dooley. I don't care how the deal is going down, he needs to be gone, now. It's killing this fanbase.

My thing is I wouldn't have a huge issue with keeping Dooley as long as we fired the entire defensive staff, but at that point you just kinda have to fire the whole staff.

You can't just change coordinators every single season.

I posted awhile back about Jimmy Cheek. Everyone wondered why I did. Folks, the way I see it, there is going to be a fundamental change in the reporting and power of the athletic department, the president, and chancellor.

Do you think that thunder is happy that the Thorton center is run by the university and not the athletic department? This is an opportunity to change things and take back control. With Bill Haslam as the governor, these things can move in the right direction.

the only thing that will change their minds is a loss. does anyone think they are depending on a bowl game invite??? i know that the program gets money for that, not sure how much tho. the university has to be losing a lot of money with people not attending games. how can they keep going in the direction they are going, knowing the money they will lose if this keeps up. as bad as i hate the say it, but look at bama....that's a university that knows what they're doing.

MARYLAND fired Ralph Friedgen at the end of a 9 win bowl season (they let him coach the bowl game) after he had been there for close to ten years. MARYLAND.

You are misrepresenting what I said. I have not backed off at all. I am checking with my guys simply because of what Ainge is saying. Ive not heard or seen anything to change my mind.

Sorry Boro.... that was not my intent .... Being the Old fart that I am... I often misread and don't understand...

I have always respected your post and your information I have always found to be spot on... :hi:

the only thing that will get dooley fired is losing a couple of the games we have left. i hate to say that but, you can't keep a coach that loses to mizzou and vandy.....right???

Fair enough. I did what I was calling you out for. My apologies.

I've said from day one that I'll be here right or wrong. I'll be man enough to admit it if it doesn't work out.

Right on. I hope you don't have to admit being wrong, believe me.

Yeah, if they are trying to keep the media off the Hunt for a new coach they are at the same time projecting to our fanbase that the powers that be don't really care about the team at all. If we named an interim now we might rally and win these last three but I don't really think it is possible with this staff. I WISH they could prove me wrong.

Not only am I fairly sure Gruden's not coming, but now I'm very, very worried Derek Dooley is sticking around another year.

And to that I say screw you, Dave Hart. Have fun with a half-empty stadium every week.

Sorry man.. I don't agree... That's what's wrong with us now. We get a little down and we fire good coaches. Dooley will be a good coach. If not for us,then for someone else. He probably will get fired. Then what??? Joker phillips??? I've been a vol fan since I took my first breath,and it's a shame what we've come to. Dooley is trying to fix a mess he didn't create. Our offense is great.Give him a couple years and our defense will be too. I'm not trying to anger anyone. I just don't think now is the time to fire Dooley. So let's agree to disagree. We are both Big Orange Fans man... God bless you.

Sorry, I was talking to ROCKEYTOP 16.

Dooley sucks and Joker would be an upgrade. We definitely disagree.

No way. Absolutely not. Dooley is the problem.

And I know Dooley is gone. There's no way he stays, because he's going to lose to Vanderbilt or Missouri. I just want them to get it over with and give this fanbase some hope.
