Head Coaching Candidates?

You came in late enough for me to think you were talking about the thread overall, not the op
Posted via VolNation Mobile

Haha, the thread overall is indeed a fail. However, the genesis of the fail is that the question was posted for discussion.
 
The OP simply asked for opinions from those folks that don't like Dooley as head coach. The stupid posts after that were from posters that rode the short bus apparently. I agree with these points, BTW


My point exactly.....No one has the balls to state they don't like Dooley......at this point.....that would be kinda spineless at this point to raise this question....No need to discuss....He is the best person for the job....Not self centered like Lame....A great name in Dooley.....He knows what it is like to coach in this League and what the standards are. Plus he respects the institution because of the history.... Beats the hell out of any of the other alternatives that we had or that we would have if he were to leave tomorrow.....

He knows how to run a clean program.....Has the basics down....Give him time....What would be alternatives.....I agree with the OP but it is an unwarranted philosophical discussion at this time.....All it does is stirs Crap......not the time for it.......

We are all disappointed with this loss, but one thing Dooley said is that this you do not know whether you have a 4 or 5 star recruit until their 2 or 3rd year....

These are kids and they are learning....Florida's staff has got tons of NFL experience, ours has some. Kids will come here to gain it.....people are already talking about decommitments.....We may lose some but let's be realistic.....we have alot of areas to fix.....this kids have not lost one coach but basically 15 to 18 coaches when you consider the 3 staffs.......3 strength coaches.....Look at all the different personalities they have had to deal with.....The freshman and sophmores are what they are fresh meat and inexperienced....

This team needs stability........right now....CDD is the the right fit....OP's point is made

Kiffin is on your list? Holy $H!T. :crazy:

You read the list? When I saw the title of the thread my head exploded before I got that far!

Advice to creator of this thread: Quit being Vol fan and adopt Bama or Gators as your team. We have enough of your kind in the fold already.

100% my opinion; I'm just glad I didn't have to type it out. I guess the thread is a fail, but the OP's question was answered, not by the silent minority, but by the vocal majority. Well said.

Wow! RIF
 
Some of that's on youth and some on coaches.

Coaches knew what Rainey's done on punt blocks and should've prepared our guys better than that, straight up.

Unless you are in practice everyday or at every team meeting you have no idea whether it was covered or not.....I will be willing to bet that it was and it was a missed assignment......Nobody has 5 blocked punts that a staff overlooks......

Look at the mistakes that Pros make.....Saw plenty today......Tolbert not hitting the hole.....Johnson not hitting the lane.....its easy to see in the stands. Someone got Rainey I am sure and someone was told of his ability to block punts.....5 blocked punts.....We don't know because we are not going to destroy a player by stating that was this player's assignment and he failed.....The team knows who had Rainey....they will learn from it because it costs us fortunately only 3 pts.....and embrassment...but it was a great learning experience for paying attention in team meetings......It is a war wound.....and a learning experience...... it was a young mistake. Don't be so quick to blame the staff.....and know they maybe protecting a youthful player that feels bad enough he missed his assignment...in a critical game...Bet he doesn't make that mistake again......He will be made an example of for sure but in the privacy of the locker room and it will ok....because that is what team dynamics are all about.....

People questioned why Dooley was on the field during the Spring Game.....well it is called coaching and knowing he can't be out there in the middle of the huddle during the game....that is called coaching and leadership development......Bray counting player's yesterday before he entered the huddle was due to GOOD COACHING........it avoided a penalty due to a youthful mistake.....

You don't want to hang around to the 30 post mark, do you?

Yeah, maybe so, but I felt like making Fiji do his typical Houdini disappearance act once somebody actually presents him with logic. He continually repeats his worthless drivel, but cannot make a logical counterargument when challenged
 
We dont need a new coach, we need a fanbase with a little thicker skin. We need stability. I am tired of new OC every year or two, its no wonder that decent players like Crompton had no chance...we change systems and coaches like VOLS fans seem to change their opinion of the VOLS. SUCK IT UP and SUPPORT THE TEAM. :banghead2:

Not worth a stroke though, man.
 
Remember these are the same ones who wanted Fulmer gone too. I tell u sometime's I am ashamed to be a UT fan. Coach Dooley is the best thing we got going.

Talk about turn around. Naming another coach in two years. Notre Dame is having same issues were having. They finally have learned that patience is the key to a program growing and triving. We've got to have patience. I love Coach DD. If u all run him out of Knoxville. We won't deserve another great coach.

This is one of the most ignorant threads I have read on this board to date. The team was extremely rattled due to the hostile environment, then devastated with the loss of the most electric playmakers we have ever had. Once they recovered, the team played a decent game. CDD has made no excuses and the team will get better. We are still young and the coaching staff will dial in the best roster and gameplan for the players on the field.

The very presence of this thread emphasizes the bipolar nature of this board!
 
Everybody grow up and just stop and support our team. Sh**.

It will be more fun watching the climb back up ladder than just jumping to the top again....If we take our time we will stay on top a lot longer...... In order to do it we have to have stability.....and experience.....

DO YOU WANT IT DONE RIGHT or DO YOU WANT IT DONE RIGHT NOW.....Can't have both......

Done now....
 
This is my first thread, ever.

I see a number of members don't like CDD so I was curious who are the realistic candidates those members would suggest as a replacement? For those willing to give CDD another year or two (conditionally) please offer your nominations as well. If you have more than one candidate, even better.

Here is a link with the top 30 Head Coaches by salary.

For comparative purposes:

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- New Tennessee coach Derek Dooley will earn $1.8 million in his first season of a six-year contract.

Under agreements between Tennessee and its new coaches, Dooley's nine assistants will make a combined $2.7 million. Tennessee announced the salaries Tuesday.

Defensive coordinator Justin Wilcox's $600,000 salary is the largest among the assistants. Offensive coordinator Jim Cheney will earn $425,000.

Dooley was hired Jan. 15 to replace Lane Kiffin. He will make $200,000 less than Kiffin made in his only season at Tennessee. Kiffin left Jan. 12 to coach Southern California.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions. I really am interested to see if there is a board favorite.

Dude. I'm speechless. If anyone truly believes firing Dooley would be a positive after all we've been through, they need to be shot.
