All but an announcement away from confirmation.

Football Scoop just annonced that Dooley left here today, I am not sure where he left from either Knoxville or the AFCA convention in San Antonio, but they antipate a hiring of a DC announcement within days.

I'd be pissed too if I were Lance Thompson. He's paid his dues for a big time DC job. Definitely can't blame him if he goes somewhere else.

Agree. There could be something to it we don't know but by appearances, it is a slap in the face. I wonder if it was more of a compromise between Hart and DD, if reports are true about DD resisting Shannon. This is prob a hire Hart and DD could both feel comfortable with.

Can you blame Lance if he is angry? Hiring a LB's coach from another school to be the DC over himself being promoted would be very irritating.

More like your company's relatively new CEO decided to hire the guy that replaced you in your old job just 3 yrs ago to be your new boss

I am a Dooley supporter, but if this happens I think Sunseri could be Dooley's Dave Clawson.

Makes zero sense to me...why not promote LT to make a simple & smooth transition?

I don't like to say names, but I have a lot of sources that the local media has. Main reason for that is my internships that I have served, and the fact that as a sports journalism student I have the opportunity to speak in-depth with many players, coaches, etc and gain their trust.

It seems everyone was worried about fans being loyal to Dooley and the program ... seems like the program and Dooley can't be loyal to their coaches. Especially the coach that has hung on to the program even through Kiffin. To me Thompson is a true VOL!!!!!!

AWFUL hire. This officially labels us as a stepping stone program. Hire a guy in his 50's thats never been more than LB coach on the college scene. What a freaking joke Dooley, a joke. Good-bye CLT.

Wonder if his "supposed" offer is more lucrative than the 1mil/5yr which has been thrown around when Shannon/Chief were the targets... I also wonder if anything is true at all these days

Looking at Bama's D-Fense. Could be a great hire. Heard CSS is a solid recruiter, demands excellence and runs a tight ship. Prayerfully CLT will get a huge raise and stay with the team, he is vital in recruiting and coaching. CLT is a solid positions coach. Go Vols!! Coach Sal or Shannon will be fine with me.

I'd say 3 year deal worth about $650k a year
