Yeah I've been off the idiot train since Miss. State too. I'm glad to get Mike Shula 2.0 outta here.

You better apologize to Shula for disrespecting him like that.

Hubbs confirmed official announcement early afternoon Sunday.

 

[nicksjuzunk]

You were just excited. Nothing to be sorry about.

Sorry I watched the game tonight, lol... Cry

 

[I4Jay]

Thanks

Sorry if I jumped the gun :hi:

It could be correct tho.

Im just saying the source isnt quite "Brent Hubbs"

Good news.

Larry says Gruden isn't likely. Strong, Fisher, and Golden were the other names listed. We have a 25% chance of getting Dooley with a tie on.

Watch out for Jim Mora.

Watch out for Jim Mora.

Why would he leave UCLA though and come to UT?

He wants to coach in the sec.

THAT is a hire I could get behind...

Hope so!!

Watch out for Jim Mora.

If it ends up not being Gruden, this would work almost as well IMO.

 

[VOLtownUSA]

Really impressed with what he's done with the Bruins in a year.

 

[thunder5]

I'd get behind Mora in a second...but west coast guys make me nervous...is there a job he'd leave us for in the middle of he night?

Skeeter, I know we all want Dooley out but in all seriousness I hope you and yours aren't put out of a job. With all of us ready to run Dooley out of town I think we forget others are effected as well. Hoping Everything is well for you.

Washington, his alma mater.

Sleep well...tomorrow will be a good day.

I would announce Dooley fired today, and then announce the new coach (Gruden) tomorrow (if in fact we do have him locked down). OCI, has the time line been accelerated now that DD will be "officially" fired today?

 

[OGbabyaviVol]

Jay Graham to be interim head coach, per Fred White twitter.

Which is what should have happened 2 weeks ago!! The kids would have at least played for him and not quit!! Makes me even more infuriated!!

Watch out for Jim Mora.

I'm in.

 

[Billy Antrim]

Watch out for Jim Mora.

Hope so! He has taken a soft team and somehow had them playing lights out yesterday. Just what we need. :thumbsup:

 

[KoachKletus]

Dooley looking like he hasn't slept at all on the DD Show. Also, not wearing any orange. Feel bad for the man.

I can.

I would feel terrible for UCLA to get Kiffined though. No one deserves having a coach instill hope for one year and then bounce. It would be an exact replica

UCLA beats us in Kiffin's only year.

Kiffin splits to take his "dream job."

UCLA beats Kiffin at USC to put him out of his "dream job."

UT steals UCLA's new stud coach.

It's really their own fault if it happens, IMO.

Only if UCLA gets put on probation after he leaves.

I would feel bad for UCLA.

Mora has done a excellent job this season. Seems like he'd be a pretty good head coach.

I wonder if he would want to bring Noel Mazzone with him as OC? You would think, having an NFL background, he would run a pro style offense but he hired Mazzone and UCLA and they have been a spread team.

There was this issue with him earlier this season.

CP is one of the most talented players I've ever seen with the ball in his hands. The stuff he does is just ludicrous. I can't think of a comparison. Unique and unreal.

He does literally nothing else well. Bad routes, hasn't learned the playbook, doesn't block well, takes plays off when the ball isn't coming his way. I hope he doesn't go to the NFL thinking he can get by solely on athletic talent like he has here. At some point he'll have to actually learn how to play football.

That will cost CP when the draft comes around. NFL teams invest too much money in players to invest a first round pick in a guy who has not proven that he can learn a playbook or run proper routes. He will be relegated to kick off returns ala Devin Hester.

Patterson's failure to run the proper routes and run them in a full speed manner hurt the team over the season and especially last night. He is a great talent, but he is also a detriment to the passing game this season and why other teams could get away with doubling up on Hunter.
