JMO, but it seems to me that if Dooley has really lost the team, as many have indicated today, then our best chance at a bowl game is to can him now. I don't see how him staying our HC increases our shot at a bowl one bit. Several posters have hit on what I think the best course would be, firing Dooley now and letting the players focus on finishing their season with wins instead of saddled with all the hotseat distractions.

Not to mention, Dooley obviously is phoning it in at this point.

I agree not sure how keeping him helps with a bowl...

Starting to pizz me off, Larry. First you say Dooley was the only one available last time around, and that is an absolute lie. It was widely reported at the time that Sumlin not only was one of the remaining candidates, but was VERY interested. Hamilton didn't think he had enough name recognition, and instead put his chips on Dooley...even though he was the least qualified.

Now you want to sell us this BS that you KNOW he's not coming, despite others with more connections than yourself stating that he is.

If you knew, either way, I doubt you'd be saying anything right now.

I promise you, I hope I am wrong.. He is the guy this program needs at this point in time.. I would give anything to be wrong.

too many telling me the other way. Maybe we can make it more than he can say no to but as of last week, all I'm getting is it ain;t happening..

I thought the kids played really hard today with especially a lot of energy. They didn't look like a team that has given up. With that being said that might very well happen this week. IMO it should be announced that DD has been fired and he should coach the remaining two games. Imo the kids would play hard under that plan without the pressure of playing in a circus of uncertainty and it would give us the best shot at winning the next 2

Agreed. No way is Dooley "phoning" it in. He is going all out, but his coaching brain is getting out tricked.

You're right. Ignore him. He is one of the punks I was talking about in my previous post. For each "insider" who says he isn't coming, there are 3 saying he is. So he can shut up.

I agree about the team playing hard, but I think it's more about the quality of kids on the team instead if playing for the coaching staff. Clearly Dooley doesn't have Bray's respect, no matter what a college kid shouldn't shout at the coach over and over. I would be fine with him coaching out, would just like an announcement.

Sounds that way. At least be around the team and start recruiting.

SBV, you still think that its going to be Gruden? I've seen some say that he is either not very interested or the money not good enough.

Any new info from your side on the situation last couple days? Thanks

You have no idea how big a fool this posts makes you out to be.

Before you try and put someone on blast you should check their record. Larry is one of the most credible on this board.

If I recall we had 90000 insiders saying Shannon was a done deal and Larry stood his ground the same as he is now and went the other way. I have no reason to believe he is wrong now.

Dang it. Looks like this forum is being over run with posters from the FF. I posted in one thread and asked Freak if he could create a "Not So Intelligent Threads" Forum.

Now I'm wondering if he will give me this answer - "But we already have the Football Forum".

:)
