We need to win 8 games this year, then win 10 games next year including the SEC east championship. I think if we can do these we'll have our answer about Dooley's abilities to get it done. I'm waiting on someone to say "Just wait til 2013". :)

Alabama was in about the same shape when Saban was hired as Tennessee was when Dooley was hired.

You're right, Brent is usually positive about that. Not only are they falling behind in recruiting a little, it's been noted by a few people that this staff doesn't put in the hours that the previous two staffs did. Im concerned that Dooley doesn't know or have what it takes to be a contender...

It's quite elementary when they don't offer.

I think any coach deserves 4 years. But, by their second year when they play a weak ooc schedule and against a weak SEC eat schedule, I'd expect a much better record that last season's. Which is why i say 8 wins should be the minimum - or NO contract extension and NO raise.

Did Clemson make an offer to Kiffin, knowing he had interviewed with UT? Let me help you with the answer......NO!!! He was 5th choice at USC. No one in their right mind would touch USC with the pending NCAA sanctions.

It's not that people thoght that Fulmer was what was best for UT, it's the ill-timed way and manner in which Hamilton chose to do it once he got the green light to let Fulmer go (another story). At that point Hamilton had to back up his word to the UT powers that he had a homerun hire to...

The people in the know already know I'm correct. If you think I'm wrong then prove it.

Since you're apparently disputing it, prove it's not fact.

Thanks for the correction. If he doesn't win at least 8 games this year I can see trouble ahead for him. I see that many of the same people saying last year to wait until 2011 are already saying wait till 2012. Just keep sliding the date out there folks. :)

Replacement for Myles......are you serious? Dooley's name has never been even hinted about replacing ANY coach at any major University. :loco: The year Dooley lead LT to a bowl game and beat MSU was the same year he lost to Nevada and Army. That was Dooley's ONLY winning year at LT...

Amazing how people like to isolate one good year that Dooley had out of the four he was there at LT. You're right that Dooley regressed to a losing record the year Tennessee hired him. Overall, Dooley had a losing record at LT.

I have no idea what you're basing that on? Please share. Nobody else tried to hire Dooley in '09, nor did he have any offers prior to us hiring him. Nobody was after him!!! If Hamilton had hired Dooley after discharging Fulmer, Tennessee fans would have stormed the UTAD and strung Hamilton...

Nobody else tried to hire Dooley for '09, nor did he have any offers prior to us hiring him. Nobody!!! Notice that Dooley was NEVER promoted or was a coordinator under all those years with Saban? There's a reason.

To the contrary, firing Fulmer the way it was done and bringing in an unknown like Dooley would have been catastrophic. Hamilton gambled on Kiffin and who all Kiffin promised to bring in. Hamilton erroneously "thought" bringing in Kiffin would pacify the people upset over the way he dismissed...
