I was on Volquest for years and shared information that Randy Shannon was not coming contrary to what many reliable posters were saying and shared information that UT was not going to hire a big name coach when they hired Dooley but I got mocked and ridiculed in both instances, so believe what you want.

What you say sounds like the most sensible course, assuming Dooley wins out other than USCe.

I don't have any sources, just a gut instinct.

Guess we'll find out...

Some of you people owe me an apology. I provide you with info and it doesn't fit your agenda and you take it out on me.

I disagree, I do beleive the search for a new HC is already underway, regardless of the buyout of Dooley's contract. I truley beleive the boosters have had enough and will come up with money neccessary for a new HC. I don't think the rest of the season (How Many wins or loses )will contribute anything that will change hiring a new HC. We the fans must exercise patience as the search goes on behind the scene...It will happen...and be announced only when everything is agreed upon by all parties.

The sooner it happens the better...thats my take, but I like everyone else have to be patient...thats the hard part

Tennessee Football will indeed be competitive once again you can book it!

I agree with your prediction. Because of the restructure on Dooley's contract when he got us to a bowl game in year 1 (or zero), the large buyout number was extended to 2015 as I understand it. It'll cost the same to fire him this year, next year or the year after. There's pretty much zero chance that the product on the field will produce better results next year and each year that the Vols are down equals huge downticks in revenue for the UTAD and the very real possibility that some people who turn away out of frustration will never come back. Additionally, DD is not going to be able to sign the kind of recruiting class he needs to compete for an SEC championship with all of the noise about his job security and that noise will not end until he either wins some big games or goes away. The AD cannot wait until 2015 for the buyout to go down.

If Dooley really wants to stay here for another year to try and prove himself, he'd renegotiate his contract immediately so that the buyout would go down by at least a couple of million $ (the amount he will earn in salary during 2013) after the 2013 season. If Dooley really thinks he can turn it around with another season, this move would incentivize keeping him for another season.

I agree in part, but Dooley staying regardless of his wanting to be here in 2013 (lowering his future buyout) is not a option at this point. I do indeed think Dooley will be fired...when everything (New HC) is agreed upon
Dooley can't recruit well enough for us to compete with the top of the SEC

Why would anyone owe you an apology.....aside from someone who predicted that D-Day was yesterday? Nobody with any credibility ever suggested that.

Much of this Dooley chatter is coming from fan speculation and media hype but is not coming from within the AD. From what a certain booster has said, Dooley and Hart will sit down after the season and discuss the direction of the program. There is not a lot of patience for another coaching search within the AD even if it means a temporary loss in revenue and performance. They would like to pay off some of their old contracts within the AD in order to free up some funds for a more serious coaching search. A Gruden type search if you will, of course all of this could change with a season ending implosion. I will try to get more information but it is hard to come by.

Dooley is gone. There is no way he survives another year. That would set the program back another 10 years. The fans will be done and recruiting wont go anywhere with a coach on the hot seat for another season. Going 7-5 with this schedule and this roster is a failure.
