Now it's 4 years? First it was 2 then it was 3 now FOUR? Forget it! We should salvage what dignity we have left and find a coach who can actually accomplish something.This threat is total BS.
Dooley put the pieces together. We all knew it would be at least 4 years before we were solid again. Why people on this board lose all sanity when we lose is beyond me.
Regardless of tonight's outcome, we were optimistic because we know we're CLOSE to being back to consistent competitors!!
Yes, I hate how pass-happy we get at times. Yes, I hate how our team seems to give up when we're down big. But if you think firing CJC is gonna make us better next season and yet another HC change is gonna improve team chemistry and morale, you're delusional.
We're still 2-1, and will be 3-1 heading into UGA. We should be well-settled into our defense and new players will be integrated in our offense by then, making us more competitive as we get into the thick of our schedule.
Have some faith...it's still early. GO VOLS!!
Bro, learn college football. Fulmer was behind the times and got lazy. Kiffin left this program after one year. NEWS FLASH... THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE CUPBOARD. Actually there was. Walk ons, Freshman, and Sophmores.
The fail is heavy in this thread. UT lost to a team ranked higher yet its time to replace the coach? Stay moronic VN.
I agree the OC and DC play calling were suspect. You don't put this one one Dooley.
And now those Walk ons, Freshmen and Sophmores are scholarshiped, juniors and seniors. I was giving Dooley 3 years to show progress. That has not happened. Still have kids in trouble with the law, still kicking kids off the team, still look like we cannot make adjustments, defense still looking lost out there--out of place, wide open receivers, missed tackles. Offense looks offensive against any type of decent defense--yes FL defense is supposed to be good, but they made us look like a 2nd rate FCS school.
Missed XP, going for it on 4th down too many times, and man, one big play is successful against them, and it seems like they fold. I thought they were going to win it after stopping the fake punt on 4th goal, then the big run, and that was it...game over.
We have a decent roster now. Time to get a real coach in here to coach them up. We made a bad FL offense look potent and a good defense look like Alabama's. This was too much to watch.
I am a LIFELONG Vol fan. Good times and bad, but once again, I see a badly coached team who cannot overcome and falls short. Going to be another long season, and I am starting to get tired of the "wait till next year" crap we keep thinking and saying. Heck, we sound like Vandy fans now...and that is a real sad state of affairs.
Noe it's 4 years? First it was 2 then it was 3 now FOUR? Forget it! We should salvage what dignity we have left and find a coach who can actually accomplish something.
We need dough... Which we don't have anymore after being $4M in the Red after all the articles reporting so... We cannot afford to hire a high profile coach while paying the buyout of Dooley. Reminder, no one wanted this program after Kiffin left (actually Kiffin was not the first choice, no one wanted the program after Fulmer)... Who in their right mind would want to coach this team? Glad Dooley will be around next year...
Sure doesn't look promising. Florida just played their game of the year, just like every year. Now they'll lose 3 or 4 games and be where we thought they would end up. There are just no words for it right now....Tennessee matched up way better in this one. I doubt this Florida team is in the top 25 by the end of the year. UT should have won this game. Florida is not at all that good.....which says alot for where we are at right now.
Like I said, if this staff has trouble beating Florida in the one year where the match ups favor us considerably then they sure as hell aren't going to beat them from any point going forward.
Stop looking for blame for a cultural issue. Our team has to learn to win as a team. Out coaching staff is fine.
Thunder Thorton sat out the last two hires, but he is now back in the game and hungry. They'll pull the trigger.
