Dooley has expressed some major frustrations with the rumor mill. Understandable... One day on this board is enough to cause ulcers, heart disease, etc. if you let all of it get to you. However, my one suggestion to Dooley, if he really wants to things to calm down....

Go out and WIN some football!

He might as well get used to it. He took the job this is part of it. He has more pressing things to worry about....Like not losing more than half this class, fielding a team that doesn't look like a 3 ring circus and maybe just maybe beating someone next year that's worth a damn.

Saw a good quote from an article on MrSEC.com - and I think it's relevant to the OP:

(The whole article is spot on IMO - Homepage | MrSEC.com)

The problem for Dooley is the perception, just as he said. His coaches are leaving on top of a lot of other junk. So it’s not just about the coaches. It’s a quarterback who reportedly wasn’t interested in going to a minor bowl. It’s a team that appeared to fracture at the end of last season. It’s a coach who has rather poor public relations skills when it comes to sending a consistent, calming message through the media to his fanbase. Even today, he opened his presser by admitting surprise over the size of the media throng packed into the UT football complex. Kentucky fans might refer to this as Billy Gillispie Syndrome… a coach who doesn’t quite get just how important his each and every move is.

Dooley will need to do a better job of grasping the fact that at most SEC schools, fans hang on every word uttered from their head coach. Dooley will also need to win and win fast. With a team lacking in confidence, next year’s opener with NC State at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta — a venue that has become a house of horrors for Tennessee since 2001 — will be enormously significant. Win and things can start to calm in Knoxville. Lose and the wheels could come off the Dooley bandwagon once and for all. (And before someone tosses out Mark Richt’s 0-2 start this year, his players had a lot more reasons to have faith in their coach than Dooley’s would in him.)

CDD could definitely make things easier on himself if he learned how to work the media, or at least spent more time talking to them. That way he could shut up all the rumors himself and gain some goodwill with the press by making their lives a lot easier.

Of course, as the OP said, if he would just win it would all go away. None of us would care if he retreated into a whole for 351 days a year with rumors running rampant and just came out for games as long as he was winning.

Haha people like you crack me up. Firing Dooley now would be the worst thing for this program. Like it or not, he gets another season. And if next season goes bad, he'll be fired at the end of it. Not so close to National Signing Day.

I don't know whether Dooley is the right guy for the job or not but one thing I do know, 99% of the fans are unrealistic. We live in a microwave society, people want results immediately and sometimes that's just not possible.

Unfortunately, this program has been in shambles for about 8 years. It's just now finally hit rock bottom. With Fulmer's inability to develop talent and in the end his lack of recruiting to the Kiffin debacle, Dooley walked into a gun fight with a butter knife in the cupboard. The talent level he took over was borderline pathetic and our rivals are basically loaded at every postion.

Lastly, as much as it hurts to say this.....Tennessee is no longer a powerhouse in college football. So many kids have no clue about our history and we don't hold the name sake like Notre Dame to lure great players this way. This is going to be a long road, most people will have jumped ship before it's fixed.

Dooley doing exactly what he was hired to do. Deal with a frustrated fan base and rebuild a roaster that was depleted. He will be done in a year or 2 and then the real coach will be here. The real coach will do what Saban did at Alabama. Shula set the table and Saban get to eat. Dooley is setting table and only time will tell who get to eat. GO Vols
