For all of you who keep sticking up for Dooley

I don't blame Dooley because he's not the only coach on the staff. Every coach on the staff is to blame, just like every player on the field is to blame.

Its weird to think that there are people who actually believe that CDD (a man who hasnt been on the job a year) is the reason that Tennessee doesn't finish strong. Come on buddy. Pay attention through out the ENTIRE YEAR. I would be ashamed to even begin to place any blame for anything on this coaching staff.

Not when you start as many freshman as ut has done on the o-line. Just face the facts. Dooley will have this team prepared to go two quarters with south Carolina. After halftime, the gas runs out. Rinse and repeat till you got senior leadership, some size on the defensive front, taller and faster corners, an o-line that has more juniors and seniors anchoring the line, and fans with patience.

Yea but there's no excuse for having bama scoring in 4 plays right out the gate of the second half. That's not gas running out, that's a mentally unprepared team.

So I guess we get to look forward to them quitting after half time for the next 2 seasons? Great.

Yeah we weren't competitive with Kiffin or anything. Four losses by 20 points total before the Ole Miss debacle following the Pilot debacle. Say what you want Kiffin found ways to get/keep these guys motivated. Maybe it was all his smack talking and arrogance but the players bought in. Like EB said, it makes you want to have your coaches back. Dooley has constantly said "we're not a very good football team right now", "we're tiny and thin in every position", and the Pope and Oku comments are uncalled for and unprofessional.

You like Kiffin, has has one more thing to give us all. The NCAA will let you know...it is coming. Can you imagine what would have happened to us if he would have had several years on the hill. I liked his fire, but I believe the way he operates would have gotten us into much more trouble than we are getting ready to experience.

Plenty of blame to go around, but that does not change a thing. The last two games have been tough to watch. Personally, I can't beleive that we are still having substitution issues. I also wonder if Alshon J goes for 300and 4 tds, since we can't cover. Besides being down by three at half, there were not many positives. Gonna take time to fix this mess...

Because he's the big dog. He's responsible for these coaches to be on track. He's the one that made the hires he's the one that needs to get on them

"And yea I was hoping that Dooley had something unique about him that could pull out better games or something."

And what does the program have to work with? Like I said you were obviously expecting 10 WIN SEASON or something like that.

I can remember some really bad seasons with a whole lot more talent than we have right now. the first couple of years under Coach Majors. Or the 0 & 6 start in 1988.

The point is lets give the current staff time to do their jobs and not judge them on a season that isn't even over yet!

How can you blame pretty muxh a whole new class with freshmen and redshirts on the new coach he did a good job getting what he could get and so far they look good doing what they do

everyone has different opinions about what makes a team look good. And having 10 players on the field time and time again when there are supose to have 11, is a coaching error. And it is continuing to happen. what i'm saying is that DD and staff is not learning from their mistakes. They are not making good enough adjustment at the half

It will get better each year, but there are a lot of problems that won't get addressed with one recruiting class.

No I pretty much expected a season at around .500 but I just want to see something that shows me that Dooley's the right guy you know it doesn't inspire hope when there's not been one glimmer of hope other than game experience.

so do you think dooley quiting would make it better. UT hasn't had a good coaching staff until now and we still aren't doing what they want to do which is a 3-4 so give them time its only their first year

This thread as well as you anti-Dooley people should be deleted. Team played hard and was prepared to play. It was clear that the lack of depth and talent was the key tonight. Dooley and staff did everything they could to give the Vols a chance to succeed. If you don't have something legitimate to say then go play video games.

How is that clear? I realize that I keep going back to this but right off the bat in the beginning of the second half our team lets them score in 4 plays. ONCE AGAIN THAT IS NOT LACK OF TALENT OR DEPTH THAT UNPREPARED PLAYERS!!!

If YOU don't have something legitimate to say then go jerk off.

and tell them what? Coach up those undersized outmanned players Fulmer left here? Look at our team on paper and look at bama on paper. They should have beat us by 80. We are old mother hubbard and there aint nothing in the cubbard. We have no players. Period. Deal with it. It sucks. I know. Time.Time.Time. not weeks. Recruit. then if no positives then start blaming coaches. Nobody would win with this team. Period. I love um to death, but for now we are just outmanned and outnumbered. No subs. Keep playing every down. They aint got a chance this year and alot of us knew this was going to be the case last year regardless of who the coach was. Our roster was doomed for this year.

The point is WE DON'T KNOW what we have in Dooley

We didn't know what we had in Lane Kiffin but we had a little more confidence in the staff he put around himself not to mention the familiar players who were still left (EB for one)

Those of you who want to jump ship now on Dooley should start a thread with a list of your names. I'm not guaranteeing he will win a NC but I'm at least allowing for the possibility and would like to be here to serve crow to those of you don't

We saw this last year (myself included) about Crompton.

Give them a chance.

RECRUIT WHAT?! look at our recruiting class so far. I realize that it's still early but none of these recruits have been high on Tennessee so far and after being on the field for this game I dunno why they would now.

You look for the coaches to motivate these players to FINNISH STRONG. To player 4 quarters and above all else... GET THE RIGHT SUBSTITUTION IN. Coach wilcox hasn't even shown me that he could call plays!!!

Give the guy at least some type of chance. No coach could have a winning season with this team. Also, what are we suppose to do, hire a new coach every year? I'm sure that will make us win. If we are not improved in the next few years, then I'll jump on the fire Dooley bandwagon as well.

I don't know what to think about the poor 2nd half performances. I tended to put that on coaching but as one of my friends who's done some coaching pointed out...

There's only so many ways an undermanned team can win. Dooley is coming out of the gate with a plan that he thinks will work against the team and so far it seems that he's been right in just abotu every game besides GA. The problem comes because we are already so limited in what we can do, it's hard to make adequate changes to parry the other team's halftime adjustments

I see both points of view

No DD quiting wouldn't help anything. I hope DD and staff succeed. But at this point in the season, I have yet to see anything that would say, "hey, this is the right guy...". This is prob the first time in TN's history we're been in this sutuation. Every one is saying i've been watching TN for 50 or 60 yrs... Blah blah blah... Well i've only been watching for 24 yrs, and this unique set of circumstances that has played out over the last few years is why we are in the situation. The only thing that bothers me is the lack of progression throughout the season.
