Take the Dooley shades off champ.

This is a thread very specifically about transfers and player stability, and I provided a link indicating that these issues are not synonymous with Tennessee football.

You are using player movement as part of an argument to indicate instability, which is not reasonable. End of story.

Oliver would be the guy breaking that story on the fan.

Exactly

Plus Cowherd is on the air now and they haven't talked about it in any local breaks. Buck and Kincaid will be on in 10 minutes with Oliver and Chernoff in 3 hrs.

How is it two different things?

Guy (potentially) transfers, presumably due to issues on the team. You appear to blame everything 100% on Dooley, then act like it's some huge deal and going to make the team worse off, despite having plenty of resources to replace him. You say we'll be worse off, I'll say it's for the better because he was a terrible influence on the team. Sometimes losing these talented guys ends up focusing everyone else. Where's the disparity?

I blame the endless instability on Dooley, yes. The lack of control and inability to show any continuity among coaches and players time and time again. That is on him.

We don't have plenty of resources to replace an All-SEC Sophomore receiver. No one does. Stop smoking crack. Yes, DR is clearly a head case, but he can play, and it's about playing football.

You don't care that the same things happen to other teams? You don't care the teams like Bama and LSU and USC and almost every other SEC school replaced almost as many coaches as we did? Yet you continue to point fingers at CDD as if our situation is unique? This is part of college football and the staff is handling it well as far as we can tell.

Again, and I've said this a bazillion times, it isn't blind allegiance to Dooley, it is an understanding of what it takes to rebuild an organization from the bottom up that allows most of us so called sunshine pumpers to be positive and appreciate the improvements we see. Those who have been against Dooley from the beginning continue to look for the smallest flaws as evidence of failure and that is just sad.

I would suggest you follow UT a little closer than other schools so you may think that it is the case but you would most likely be wrong.

I do, but I usually follow it from a National level in the offseason, and yet UT is always in the headlines for this stuff.

For most people, the optimism around the 2012 season centered around bray, hunter and rogers.

Transfer issues happen everywhere, but they arent necessarily the center pieces for a rebuilding program.

If true, when taking everything into account (coaching changes, etc), it's hard to argue that things have not been an absolute mess

Glad you're not our coach, also glad we have a coach who cares more about these kids as people than as football players.

I just got a tweet tweet that Darick is leaving because of his landing a walk on role in Anchorman 2! Something about being a Sex Panther rep...

Nope, I don't. Those teams win. We don't. We have nothing in common with their situations.

How is the staff handling it well? By losing more games each following year? Where are the improvements? I'm still waiting.

Then I will close with the simple fact that if you see 12 headlines of kids getting suspended, arrested, joining cults etc, you will focus on the 1 that was from UT. Unless you can provide me data that shows more kids leave UT(for reasons not related to head coaching changes) than other big time D1 schools then I would say your subjective focus has led you astray.

To be honest. I really don't care right now. First day of practice in pads. I want to know what the team is looking like today. With or Without DR.

There are several other positions that concern me more than WR. With or without DR we still have a lot of talent at the WR position, and it is only arguable as to how much that talent changes without him. We haven't seen the new kids yet.

Huge difference. Our coaches left because of "problems" and their coaches left for better positions. Do you see a difference? Nothing about that is the same situation IMO.

You're correct in that I don't have a spreadsheet tabulating offseason attrition for all major NCAA football programs, but ultimately we're a rebuilding program, have been for a few years, yet can't hold onto coaches or some of our most talented players. That is not a good thing, and I can't fathom how anyone can think it is.
