How should they address it?

You can tell Worley, but it is still ultimately on his shoulders to make that split second decision to pull the trigger or not.

In hindsight, we have minutes, hours, days to say what we would have done in that split second. We can see the field better from our perspective, than what he sees. Down on the field, with bodies flying all around you, its different. By 100 fold

A freshman QB doesnt have the luxury of a panoramic view, in HD.

Yet you say that it's all the coaching staff's fault and they need to be fired. This whole thread makes me sad.

It's not the loses that are the problem nearly as much as the effort by Dooley's team. We have not had a second half effort since before Georgia. It appears that he and his staff are unable to motivate this team to get a full game effort out of them. He can't pick and stay with a QB. He can't even pick a punter and stay with a punter.

Our depth and youth is the problem in the second half. Haven't you heard?

Ironic that second half scoring wasn't a problem until our starting QB who was putting up Heisman numbers and our best WR who was putting up Heisman numbers both went down.

Oh wait, can't say that because then the Fulmer apostles won't be happy we are losing like they are now.

1. The running game has gotten worst.
2.the secondary is out of control.
3.he makes the dumbest playcalls.
4.he refuses to kick field goals
5.the team has regressed since he was hired.
6.the players don't even like him.
7.his english is terrible and makes tennessee look retarded in every interview.

I will not comment on the incorrect use of worst vs. worse, however I will say that #4 is a good thing. Settlilng for FG's is a plan to get you beat. What good would 3 points have done in the grand scheme of things when the other team is scoring TD's? Also, given the current state of our kicking game there is no sure thing in the FG department. You have to crack eggs to scramble them and that is what CDD is trying to do. If you or anyones things 3 points on the opening drive changes the course of the game then you are, in my opinion, just wrong. However, if Parlardy hits the TE who was wide open, then we have a chance to score a TD and that could have been a huge momentum boost.

We couldn't score in the second half against MTSU. WTH is the excuse for that?

So what you are saying is that we play good in the first half and close against the elite teams, but they for some reason go in at halftime and come out with no effort even though the game is close. Interesting.

And that doesn't say much about our QBs and punters does it?

Something tells me its pretty hard to win the SEC with:
1 junior, 3 sophomores, and a freshman on the oline
A freshman QB who was originally the 3rd string
No running backs coach
Our best receiver out since the Florida game
We now only have what 2 starters on our D that started last year?
With that being said our all sec safety was kicked off the team a week before the season started
Our other safety is out for the rest of the year
Our only returning linebacker broke his ankle and will miss the whole season
We played Arkansas, bama, lsu, south carolina, georgia, and florida with the youngest team in American that is 70 PER CENT FRESHMEN AND SOPHOMORES

Yeah they may seem poorly coached but hell with the said reasons what do you expect? Some people refuse to get it. I'm probably one of the few who will still support this team if they lose to Vandy and Kentucky. I fully believe next year is different.

Wow. This this this. Someone with some sence. After this that was said and guys still want to kick cdd to the curb. Fact is how many freshman are starting and playing over half of every game. They are freshmen. This isn't highschool anymore people. The talent we have might not be that of bama or lsu but dang they need some field experience and pt. Just like when guys from college go to the nfl. the qbs are not brady or manning for years. Give dooley some slack. He does need to make some changes with the staff I agree. But throwing dooley out cause were not beating people that we shouldn't beat is ludicrous. Give us bray and hunter back we beat florida and usce. These are freshman mostly. They need to adapt to the game. This is the sec guys not high school. If things don't change any in 2 years then call for his departure.

I'm sure Dooley won't be fired quickly like all of you Dooley-haters out there. Beside, this is a youth team we ever had & well, we're just Brayless & Hunterless...

I think everybody can agree that if we don't make considerable improvements next season, Dooley might not be the guy for the job. I'm a huge Dooley supporter, but I'm also a realist. Next season, we should at least be competing for the SEC East.

I have no idea what we have for coaching, but in 37 years of seriously following the Vols, bizarre things have happened under this staff that I have never seen before:

The Arky punt return
No second half points game after game
0-6 to start the SEC
Kickers that, well, simply can't kick
Improper number of players on the field, again and again (last year)

Now missed tackles, broken assignments, staring down receivers, an OL that can't make a push - seen all that many times.

Been a fan since the mid-60's and really cannot recall a UT team that was the youngest in the nation. Also cannot recall playing the youngest team in the nation against the toughest schedule in the nation. I also don't recall losing so many of our "strength" players in a single season, losing strength players on a young team magnifies itself over and over. Nothing that won't take care of itself. This team and coaches will be given time to "season" themselves, and IMO, this board will blow up with praise.

If Dooley ends up proving himself here, it will be like all those Duke Alumni who act like they've alway supported Coach K. Fact is, the guy was almost fired.

Would you care to settle for 7 or 8 wins and not a sniff of the east title. This is reality.

Not really reality considering we return the most explosive offense in the SEC east next year, and return virtually everybody on defense. I think you meant to say This is "my prediction."

You think we had a hard time finding a coach last time? Fire Dooley this early and see what happens.
Weaknesses get exposed with a schedule as brutal as ours. This is as slow-footed a team as I can remember at UT and that ain't Dooley's fault. The playing field is not level. The very best players on a ridiculously young, thin team are injured and we're playing the toughest schedule in the country. Bray, Hunter, and Janzen gave us a puncher's chance against some of them. I'm not sure how to scheme/coach your way around that much adversity.

Everybody posts their opinions on these boards. That is what they are for, so if that makes you an attention whore then i guess everybody falls under that category.

Next year we will beat more than just vandy and uk. Florida and usce. But the defense is what's gonna be the problem. Our line is bad dbs are worse. But t takes time for these guys to adjust to the sec from high school. Most freshman are playing behind juniors and seniors with a few years of development. Thanks to fulmer and kiffen we don't have that. You can't expect these freshmen to come in being bama type seniors that are just explosive. Aj johnson for example. How many games has he been in double digit tackles. He still makes freshman mistakes. Think of lb core next year. Aj, maggitt and santos. Picture that. Something serious there vol fans. Lanier is going to be good at cb. Randolph will knock your head off. If we get elston and we now have speedster daniel gray. The dbs are looking good for next year. Guys 2 more. The winning the east should be a reality. But right its not happening and its not cdd to blame
