Our current recruiting class will do nothing but continue our descent into the bowels SEC hell if it doesn't get any better. Only Miss. St, Vandy and UK are worse off than we are right now. That's not good company.
Ok guys I understand that everyone has a right to say what they think, but seriously this is getting ridiculous. Fans are already calling for Dooley's head after 5 games??? Putting the LSU loss on Dooley??? Already saying Dooley is doing a bad job recruiting??? Guys seriously stop and think for a minute. EVERYONE knew we would not have a very good year this year so losing to 3 top 10 teams would not be a surprise so why are people saying coach DD is a bad coach and should be fired??? We should've beat LSU today but we lost by 2, we were right in it vs UF but simms' 2 ints sealed the loss and we were right in it vs Oregon but fell apart after halftime. The only game we actually got beat in was the Oregon game, we beat ourselves in the other 2 losses. Dooley has done a great job coaching the players to be in the right position, to execute the plays right, getting them to buy into his system, to be in the Vol for Life program and play hard for 60 mins. we are just a few plays away from being a good team. we will get there with time, just give him some more time to work with the players. The LSU loss was not on Coach DD, he is not in charge of subbing in players on D, that is up to the position coaches and the D coordinator to send in players, it is the PLAYER'S responsibility to see their sub and come off the field. The coaches can't hold their hand and walk them out to the huddle and get the other player's hand and walk him off the field. they practice subbing everyday, some players just didn't pay attention and made a mistake. it happens, time to move on and it's seriously time to stop blaming Dooley. so for the people sayin "Dooleys so stupid why would he sub with 10 seconds left?" THAT WAS NOT HIM. That was the D coaches putting in players that are on the goal line D to stuff the run. Finally to the players that are saying Dooley is sucking at recruting, Coach DD is getting kids that fit into his system, kids that will be kind of leaders he wants and kids that are not going to go to jail while they are at UT. we are ranked #24 on rivals for all of you who are obsessed with the stars system. its october, wait till feburary before you start passing judgement on how good of a recruiter he is. I didn't hear you complaining about it last year when he came in with 2 weeks till NSD and closed like a champ. so to everyone that's talking smack, running their mouths, crying about it, calling for his head, burning their beds or whatever else they are doing: TIME. Just give him some time, hamilton knew this would take some time, everyone knew it would, so why don't you all just calm down, get behind the team, support them and make this rebuild go faster and smoother instead of just making it worse. for the fans that understand what i'm talking about, THANK YOU AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.....
dude its OCTOBER, when NSD comes around and we are NOT in the top 25, then you can cry over it. if ur a star watcher then check this, we are #24 on rivals which means 95 teams are worse off than us. we are 25 on scout, which means 94 are below us. personally i love the class we have so far and if you actually understood more than just how to look at a recruiting website's stars and judge a class then you would like it as well. i watched the recruiting show on espn 2 nights ago and they mentioned us and were talking about how "solid of a class we have even tho we have several players that have not even been graded so they only have a 2 star rating for now." and about how "dooley has done a great job going out and getting players for positions of need and getting role players that perfectly fit his system." that espn recruiting guy says that he thinks we are gonna be between #15 and #10 on NSD so i guess the bowels of hell are not too shabby... do your research before you complain to me man, i live, eat and sleep UT football and i understand it a lot more than most. now if you have an actual reason or reasons to complain other than "we don't have enough 5 star and 4 star players committed" then you should say them so theres reasoning behind ur fussing and complaining and so we can talk about the problem or problems and how to fix it or them....
I tried to split these random thoughts in your wall of text into paragraphs to make it easier to read, but it really is just a lot of sentences that have not been organized into thoughtful paragraphs. Still, it is a little easier on the eyes when the wall is divided up into blocks.
There's so much here that is wrong, I don't have to address all of it, but maybe others can help. I used bold to highlight some of the more bogus statements in your OP.
The class CLK left behind for Dooley was projected to be a top 5 class. It was not ranked 24th two weeks out with CDD coming in and 'closing' it up to top 10. He stopped the bleeding and adding a couple in place of the few we lost. The class was top 10 mainly because of early enrollees. This was covered in detail during the offseason.
We could use AJ Johnson this year at LB and a lot depends on how Crowder, Kerbyson, and Posey pan out, but if we had about five more OL or fill some of the remaining spots with JC OL transfers, the situation might not be all that bad. :dunno:
Linemen are hard to evaluate, but the size of the three OL commits is respectable, especially Posey.
READthis has nothing to do with the topic but it's something you reminded me of. i think it's stupid when ppl act like you did about correcting my post. this isn't an english forum, it's meant to just talk about ut football. here's an example: if someone was mentally challenged and was posting on here ppl would just think he was a really bad speller or wasn't smart. most ppl would just read it and understand what they can about it and go on. then ppl like you want to make jokes about them, post and make fun of them, or edit it to show everyone how much they messed up to degrade them and make them feel stupid. i never do that to ppl because i wouldn't want someone to treat my lil brother that way if he was posting on here. i've seen first hand how ppl like you can make ppl like my lil bro feel so bad about hisself. it's very very sad and it's something that shouldn't happen. the exact same thing has happened to him before. he was so excited for his first post on here because he has watched me do it so much. when he posted his first post some @$$ like you reposted his post and was making fun of how "dumb he was and how he should go back to kindergarten to learn to spell and could he even spell his name right?" my lil bro has never posted on here again. treat ppl how you would want to be treated. most ppl that make spelling errors on here prolly are just like me and do not worry about it and type as fast as they can, but there's always that chance that you could be degrading someone who can't help it. you should remember that, everyone should......
I've got a feeling the Dooley Sucks, Fire Wilcox and Chaney's an Idiot nuts are going to be with us for a while longer.
Just wondering what they'll be complaining about in 3 years when we're kicking ass again.

Inconsistent much?
The facts are our coach has at least 4 years before any talk of firing is reasonable. Even having that thought tells me you are not a knowledgeable fan of college football. We are doing well, setting the base for future successes this year. Go Vols!!

no not at all actually. i'm talking about ppl who make fun of others for just spelling errors or typing errors. i said that talking about fans who sit around cut down UT and call for the coaches head after 3 losses.those 2 have NOTHING in common what so ever. i'm consistent, you just failed to understand.
